Complaints

We are committed to providing a high-quality veterinary service to all our clients. If you feel that this has not been provided to you and your pet, then we need you to tell us about it. If you have a complaint, then you need to inform us, in writing, of the incident, with as much detail as possible, including any names of staff members involved to:

The Client Services Manager

3. The Client Services Manager will send you a detailed written reply to your complaint, including his/her suggestions for resolving the matter, within 21 days of sending you the acknowledgement letter.
