As a first time owner of a dog I was scared when he became ill all of a sudden. I phoned Rochford Vets and they saw him within a couple of hours, treated him and the friendly vet gave me lots of help and advice. Would definitely recommend and will be returning here from now on.

Brilliant veterinary practice. Our animals are really well taken care of every time. We have been on 3 occasions for Guinea pig injuries and they have always received the best care. I highly recommend them for taking care of your animals. Our little girl Chia (pictured) visited today to check a minor injury on her neck. No need for medication, just keep it clean with salt water until it's healed.

The service received from this veterinary practice is excellent. The staff at all levels are helpful and the veterinary practitioners are of the highest calibre. I had many pets over the years when living in London who required assistance from a vet and in comparison the quality of care knowledge of the staff and cost I have received from the Rochford Veterinary Surgery is much greater.

Highly recommend. Contacted them after my dog Dexter feel ill after a walk and they couldn't have been more helpful fitting him in, in their already booked up day. All the staff were extremely friendly, caring and efficient, putting myself and Dexter at ease. The welfare of animals really are their passion.

I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you you did for our little growler Tom. He has been unwell for nearly a year and everyone at Rochford Vets has been wonderful with him despite his growling grouchy old man ways!!! Yesterday we said goodbye to Tom and it couldn’t have been more beautiful, allowing us time with him in the garden and letting us comfort him as he went to sleep, You were fantastic, I can’t thank you enough, so professional yet personal. It meant so much to us all how you handled it. It was an incredibly hard day for us all and it was a huge decision to put our little boy to rest, however your empathy and true kindness and compassion helped no end. I know that Tom appreciated everything you did for him too even though he had a funny way of showing it!!!

Thank you once again xxxx

A massive thank you for your help today with our budgie, Splash - we had real trouble finding a vet that would help with a bird and, after losing his little friend yesterday, time was of the essence! Tracey-Ann was very kind and got us an appointment the same morning, and Daniella the vet was incredibly knowledgeable and compassionate. We weren't sure if Splash would make it but he is looking perkier already - what a lovely vet practice.

Natalie Crane

18:58 10 Jun 17

Yet again we received a such a warm welcome when we arrived yesterday, one of my dogs is terrified of anything unknown to her.... especially anyone who needs to examine her!
But I do have to say, that all of the staff we have met have been absolutely brilliant, the gentle care & thorough attention they give to my dogs, the explanations to me, their knowledge and the affordability is second to none! You also don't feel like you are on a time limit which makes you leave feeling reassured & informed. I wouldn't go anywhere else!

Claire Cooper Swaisland

I'd like to say a big thank you to the vet I saw yesterday. She helped make an awful situation bearable.
I had to have my beautiful cat Sid put to sleep yesterday. At almost 17, he was the most amazing cat.
You were so kind, explaining and supporting me through out.
That means so much. Thanks. X
