Reviews from owners

“I have a very nervous, elderly cocker spaniel who has always been terrified of the vet so we decided to sign up with Skylark – and I cannot tell you how pleased I am with their service.  Benji and I are much happier!”

“We are completely indebted to Skylark Vets and the dignity and care they gave our cat Daisy in her last moments. She was a much loved member of the family but highly stressed by cat carriers and visit to the vets so having the team visit us at home made everything so much calmer for her. The advice and kindness they showed us, reassuring us we were making the right decision, meant so much.. We only have praise for their professionalism and kindness.”

Thom Freeman, VetHelpDirect review

“Pebbles is a rescue cat and very afraid of changes but I was delighted when she came back from her treatment she settled down straight away and was very happy. Would use them every time..”
