Wanted to say a huge thank you to Collingham vets for their care of our sweet cat, Ron Weasley, during the last year of his life and for providing a peaceful and warm background to his last moments with us. If I could give 100 out of 10 I would!

Brilliant and wonderful Vets, I use these for my bulldog, and they treated her very quickly, unlike Vets for Pets, who charged way too much.

We have used Collingham Vets for a long time. The Practice has consistently been approachable and professional. Despite some recent changes, the commitment and service has remained unchanged. Today we needed an emergency appointment and the response was amazing. It’s incredibly reassuring to know they are just a phone call away, ready to assist, and this has only reinforced our trust in Collingham Vets 🙂

When we moved to Tuxford about a year ago we could not find a local avian vet. Collingham veterinary practice came up as close to us and we registered and they treated our English Budgie for a lump which was caused by his companion pulling out his tail feathers. We followed there advice and all was well until a few weeks ago when he had become unwell and what tail feathers he had fell out and exposed a horrible raw swelling. We rang Collingham vets and they gave us immediate advice over the phone as we could not get to them until 2 days later. When we arrived we thought we were coming home without him. The vet who treated him was so knowledgable and kind. We followed his instructions and went back a week later. Boris responded to the treatment really well and our vet had also researched possible causes and was able to give us advice on his diet and care. Boris is getting on in budgie years, but we know he will be well cared for in his senior years by Collingham veterinary practice. There are no avian vets close to us, but I cannot recommend Collingham vets any more highly and I cannot thank them enough for not giving up on him and taking the time to research possible causes and being able recommending things we could do to keep him healthy.
