Hi Everyone,

My name is Amber Baker and I would like to take this opportunity to tell you all about the wonderful service that Royston Veterinary Centre has given to my horse called Dez, or Dezmond when he is naughty!

A few months ago Dez was not well and after having surgery he needed a lot of after care.

The Royston Veterinary Centre was available to us 24 hours a day, seven days a week, we only had to call and they would be there for us.

Every day for three weeks, Liz or David would come to our stables to clean and dress Dez’s wound and give him a daily antibiotic injection. On one occasion due to Dez being over lively in the paddock, it was necessary to re-stitch his wound which was quite upsetting for me but brilliantly done by Liz.

I found the whole team to be fantastic from the office staff, nurses to the vets especially Liz and David.  Liz was Dez’s equine vet and has become a great friend, she really takes a personal interest in him, well they all have really!,

I also have a little pony called Bazil and he’s been prone to laminitis!

This week Bazil injured his hoof and developed an abscess, and once again the whole team from Royston Veterinary Centre have been on hand, to assist, and things are looking good!

As well as Dez and Baz, the Royston Veterinary Centre look after all my pets, large and small, of which there are loads!

I would completely and utterly recommend the Royston Veterinary Centre to anyone who has and loves their animals

All my love Amber Baker, Dez and Baz x

Letter recieved July 2010 from Steve Hall & Debbie Moore:

Dear David,

We would like to thank you so much for the fantastic hospitality you showed us on Sunday. We were in an extremely stressful & emotional situation & you obviously had never met us before. The trust & kindness you showed us was second to none. The injury that our Corky had suffered was quite horrific after being attacked by another dog whilst we were on a picnic at Walpole Farm in Cambridgeshire. However, your skill & consequent treatment provided us with great hope & confidence for his recovery. Corky's stitches have been removed now & we have to wait approx one more week to find out the strength of sight in his left eye. Corky has otherwise made a full recovery & is back to his normal self. He also says a big thank you & is happy to be spoilt for as long as possible! (woof, woof!)

During our conversations on the day you explained that you had only taken over the practice a short time ago. We would like to wish you every success for the future & to anyone who reads this letter please be assured that your animal / pet is in wonderful hands. Thank you once again.

Yours sincerely

Steve Hall & Debbie Moore

Testimonial from Kate Hart

My 18 month old cat Harry, refused to eat and was very listless and so I took him to the vets that I had used for the last 28 years.  I was told he had a very serious heart murmur and needed to see a specialist to diagnose the exact problem and that the cost of this would be over £400 and it was likely he would be on medication for life.  I was also given the option of Harry seeing one of the in house vets for initial tests at a cost of about £100.

I know Margaret and David through the Royston Business Network and asked Margaret for some advice.  Following our discussion I took Harry to see David for a second opinion.  David explained that Harry did have a heart murmur; however his life expectancy was normal, the quality of his life would be normal and he needed no medication or further treatment.  David explained very clearly what the problem was and why it wouldn’t be an issue for Harry and left me totally reassured.

I was initially reluctant to take Harry to Royston Veterinary Centre as it is further for me to travel and I did not want to distress Harry any further.  Margaret advised on how to keep Harry calm while being transported.  I will be using Royston Veterinary Centre in future, not the convenient vets that are almost just around the corner that I have used for 28 years. I would strongly recommend Royston Veterinary Centre to other pet owners and I would stress that a few extra miles should not deter you as the care and attention to both pets and owners is superb.
