Went into have my male cat done. When turning up the young lady was nice and helpful. Well when returning the same young woman came out all friendly etc. have us allow down of how our cat had been and after care etc. then all sudden this ratty looking man came out daggering, I chose to look away while talking to the young lady. Then he butted in with his 50 pence started saying how our cats ears are folded and do we know with his arrogant tone. So my reply was yes I do know and then I asked him does he know his cat breeds and this cat is a Scottish fold, he grunted and then replied well you do know he will have issues later in life with joins. My reply yeah maybe but we will see and we will also get him the right help is this happens to our cat. He grunted again. Then the both started to try and up sell stuff to me telling me I need this and that. I told them no I don’t and I won’t be buying from them any way after the attitude they gave me. Grunted again. So all in all that place should be looked into also staff up to date on cat breeds etc also manners on how they address customers I also found that I’m not the only person they treated like this as per looking at the review tonight I see they do this a lot with money etc also a very close family friend also told me tonight, that if she knew I was going to there she would told me not to as she also had same issues they also like to inject your animals with out consulting you about this they just don’t then charge you at the end. I will be going to Southampton city council and I will be seeing if they can look into this vets. 1.how they treats customers, 2. Why they think it’s ok to push sales on you and they get funny when you say no. 3 telephone manner as I was told to get there asap to collect my cat her words come like now now. No please or anything. All in all I won’t be going back at all this place is disrespectful and disgusting. Thankfully my car is fit well healthy. Oh and another thing I cut my animals nail my self so the attitude of we cut his nails I was not happy also never had the chance to look in the vets it’s self but when coming home found they have cut them far to short to the point one looks like it been bleeding oh and my cat came out socking wet back of legs and hips and tail. I mean dripping. So I also then had to clean him up and dry him down. Animal cruelty in many ways then one there I think. Re staff or close down simple. You all are clearly in the wrong profession.
EDIT: 4 Months on from this review and our boy is still thriving 😊
We've recently adopted a puppy and booked him in to have his vaccine with this 'Vet'. Upon meeting Monique we noticed she was very rude and condescending! The whole vibe was off from this point... We were told he is severely underweight and did not look "right". Monique proceeded to drag him around the table and pulled at his ears (making him cry and yelp) saying he had ear mites and would need to have medication for this, which would be £70! She asked if he had had any diarrhoea or sickness and I reply yes to diarrhoea as we had changed the food he was previously on for her to say he has Parvo and could not have his vaccination without having a £400 test first and that would be if he would make it through the night!! Obviously we were distraught and thought about paying it as we are good people worried our pet was sick, but decided to get a second opinion and were very glad we did!
We registered with PDSA and got an emergency appointment the following day due to the remarks from Monique. We found out he didn't have ear mites, just alot of ear wax and he did NOT have Parvo he was just adjusting to his new food. He was not DYING like she made out and I'm absolutely fuming that she suggested he was!!
The receptionist/nurse was lovely and polite but Monique is disgusting!! I would not suggest this vet to anyone if you love your pets! Monique just tried to get money out of us!
And just so you know Monique...Our boy is happy and thriving after having had his vaccination and LOVE from the PDSA 😊
If I had my way I would get her stuck off immediately!!
We cannot rate this practice more highly
We lost our beautiful boy yesterday
He had a very rare heart condition that was diagnosed when he was about a year old
With help care and guidance of the loving staff at Pet Vet he managed to live a full happy life for five more years behaving as a nutty cocker spaniel as he should
In tha last month or so he began to go down hill and they guided and supported us every step of the way
Because of them we had another 5 years of fun, mischief and companionship - Thankyou all so much

Palmed me off to vets now with a phone number that is closed. Great. Thank you for nothing.
This place was recommended to me by a friend, and I went there without hesitation. My cat, Luna, was very well cared for; she was spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and had her nails clipped—all without any issues. The communication with the vet was great, and the staff at the front door were lovely. Luna especially enjoys being with Amber, but that didn’t stop her from being naughty during her last visit. I look forward to seeing you next month. Thank you for everything!

I have honestly never felt so small and made to feel like nothing in my whole entire life.
We arrived to get our cat spayed and chipped. We were greeted by the lovely and most polite young lady behind the counter and another young lady. When we got asked to take our cat into the room for the vet to examine, that's when it went down hill. Just the atmosphere, the look and attitude the second I walked in was off. I got asked my cats age and why she hasn't been done yet ( which I explained she has always been and indoor cat due to living in a flat but we have recently got a house and if she wants to go out we want her done before hand). I got given a lecture and what felt like a telling off? I was honestly so shocked I was being spoke to like that! Then to top it off basically be told me and my partner could be the reason my cat has things wrong with her even though she's perfectly healthy. The vet demanded my cat had a £100 blood test before being spayed which I said I couldn't afford at the moment.. to then be given a look like I was absolute scum? Honestly I have never felt so uncomfortable in my life! I asked can she just be chipped then at least! We got another look like she couldn't be asked and got a reply ok fine. Soon as that was done we were out of there. The reception staff looked confused why I was leaving, I was too! But the 2 ladies behind reception were so lovely and I couldn't fault them. I won't be going back there and will be taking my cat elsewhere in the future.
