Medivet Laindon High Road, Basildon SS15 6BN

"I came to this vet through an emergency as I was looking after my parents dog whilst away and he got a vomiting and diarrhoea bug. I originally went to VetsForPets in Pitsea who were disgraceful, wanting to charge me nearly £1000 and leaving me waiting 5 hours to see someone. After those 5 hours I tried MediVet in Laindon, I called and spoke to the lady on reception and Vet Nurse who were wonderful. They were able to book me in within the hour. When I went there, they were superb, their attitude and level of care towards my parents dog was wonderful, so calm and patient, and they were genuinely so caring. They gave us another antisickness injection, an appetite stimulant and some antibiotics and even tried to syringe feed him, which then led to him wolfing down some food from the nurse's hand who patently waited for him and encouraged him to eat. We took him home and less than 12 hours later he is already doing so much better. VetsForPets wanted me to pay £1000 to put him on a drip and keep him overnight, whereas MediVets tried strong meds which came to less than a quarter of the price and have genuinely seemed to work, and more importantly he's at home in comfort then in the vets scared and lonely. I felt like VetsForPets were just trying to pump as much money from me as possible. I've now removed my dogs from VetsForPets and will be taking them to MediVets from now on, thank you guys so much for your care, compassion and sound medical advice."

"I have had my last dog and current dog registered at Medivet and they dealt with the passing of my first dog very well and are helping with my new (much larger) puppy now. Service always quick, friendly and the job is always done well."

"Both our dogs have needed veterinary care over the last few months. The level of care has been outstanding, I trust the whole team and am confident that they always have our pets best interests at heart. I would not want to take my pets anywhere else."

"Our son’s dog whilst in my care was hit by a golf ball which shattered the bones in his leg. He was taken to Medivet Laindon & placed under the expert care of Antonis. Three months & three lots of surgery later & the leg has thankfully healed. Thank-you to Antonis for his skill & expertise in fixing Milo’s leg. He was always very caring & available for help, advice & reassurance & contactable by email which helped the situation we were in. The practice is very friendly & all the staff are helpful. I had to ring on numerous occasions for advice & it was never any trouble for them to help me. I would highly recommend this veterinary surgery."
