Withy Grove

I registered my dog after looking round at vets in the area. I had to rush him in as he hurt his back. The first vet I saw was an older gent and said after exam of my dog an injection would help and they usually spring back after a few days. The next day he was in so much pain I took him back. I saw a young female vet who said scan or put him down quite bluntly. I was in shock after being told he should recover in a few days. I asked her for for pain killer for him and time to think. Scan being £2000 my pet insurance had just run out. I was so caught up in the moment I agreed to a scan, which in hind sight I should have asked for a second opinion. I went to Wigan paid for all the treatment. A few weeks later when waiting for the report Withy Grove sent me an invoice for £2400. When I rang them up I asked what this was for he said the scan. I had actually paid £1700 for all the treatment in Wigan so Withy Grove added £700 for making a phone call. I think this is totally disgusting!! talk about kicking you when you're down. I asked the receptionist to report it to the management and heard nothing back so they obviously think this is ethical.Vets fees are astronomical but there are some out there for the love of animals and still make a healthy profit. Shocking!! Especially when actually all he needed was strong pain relief and rest just like us humans. Trust your own instinct and ask for a second opinion always.

I’ve used Withy Grove for a number of years. The vets and nurses are really experienced and I always feel confident they will look after my dog and provide the best treatment. I know they are now Medivet but there was no noticeable difference with the practice

I cannot speak highly enough of this practise we took our cat Madison there who had become very poorly the lady vet called us into the room and told us it was her time to cross the rainbow bridge she allowed us to hold her while we said our goodbyes and left us alone with our previous baby girl to tell her one last time how much she was loved Thank you guys so much for being so kind to our baby

Becca saw my dog Eddie today. He doesn't like the vets, he also hates anyone touching his feet or teeth. She was wonderful with him.

Thank you so much Natasha for calming down whilst having an emergency with my rabbit on reception which she is fine now. You made me feel less stressed and helped me through it. WHAT A GEM

Took our dog here since he was a pup. He doesn’t like going to the vets, but even though he barks he wags his tail and is a big softie. The supposed vet wanted to muzzle a frightened dog to give him his injections, backing him into a corner first. Everyone knows you don’t back a dog into a corner. We’ve used this vet for years for all our pets but the service and prices have worsened since they were taken over by Medivet. Just be warned the 4.6 stars they have is based on the previous owners.

Been with them for years, but this evening Ruby, my dog got a treat stuck in the throat, rushed her to the vets, took her straight away and very quickly removed the treat, fabulous service and cannot thank them enough, always very great service, with polite and professional staff, would not take my baby girl anywhere else

Always professional but very easy going, the vets are brilliant making your pets feel secure giving them lots of attention a d explaining the procedure fully....

Withy Grove is an amazing vets. They cared for my family and for my dog sooo compassionately when she was put to sleep. We waited and finally got Nellie who is now 3 and their advice from 9 weeks to now has been superb Everyone of the staff is amazing and friendly. If you haven’t tried them you need to and wish I had known before.
