Fab new vets about to open in Braintree, Essex

So this will probably only be of interest to you if you're local :lol:

Sam has been my vet for the past few years and she's ace with the bunnies and with the cats too - and now she's left the previous practice and is setting up to be her own boss She's not an exotics specialist as such but she's an excellent general practitioner vet, she's very observant and thorough and I have full confidence in her. She's also always been really happy to listen to me, to do further research and to ask other people/refer onwards when necessary. Personally I'm much happier to have a vet who can say "I don't know...but I'll find out" rather than one who just bumbles along. She left back in the summer to start working on the new practice and I've missed her soooo much!

Anyway, enough gushing. She's opening a new purpose built vets4pets practice on Freeport in Braintree, it will be open 7 days a week which is a total added bonus and it opens on 14th March. To anyone local who perhaps isn't all that enamoured with their current vet or who hasn't registered with one yet, I'd thoroughly recommend her!

A littttle bit too far for me but I will keep it in mind if I need help on a Sunday!:thumb:

I'm from here originally so it'll be useful if my buns are ever in my parents care. I hope it's a damn site better than the Vets4Pets down here though, I had a dreadful experience with them!! :evil::evil:

It will be, Sam is ace! Although they're a 'chain', it's really much more akin to a franchise and a brand - each vet owns their own practice and has clinical freedom etc within the practice, so the quality of the experience is very much down to the individual vets and not an issue with the way the chain is run. I trust Sam to employ good staff too and one of the VNs from the previous practice (who is also excellent) is also going with her -she was fantastic the morning Mavis fell ill; she was just arriving to open up at work when I came tearing up and handed her a mouth breathing rabbit. She totally took it all in her stride and took her straight in and put her on oxygen and a heat pad until the vet arrived. It gives me so much confidence that the whole team knows what they're doing and that the nurses are capable of working on their own initiative when the need arises. I can't tell you how much I can't wait for this practice to open!
