My little elderly dog was run over on the Common by a lady driving a silent electric car. She went right over him and I had to get him out immediately from behind the wheel under the arch. He had catastrophic injuries as a result - we had only just arrived. We were 2 miles away frim the George Vets, Nalisworth so I put him in a blanket and drove him straight there. The reception immediately called for the vet Ms Marshall. She heard my quick precis and took him to the prep room to give him oxygen and painkillers. All the staff were wonderful. From such a shocking occurrece and his injuries sadly he was put to sleep. I collected the bill and paid next day when they gave me a condolences card and paw prints and some of his fur clippings. I cannot thank the staff highly enough; he suffered very little and now he is in the big doggie basket in the sky. Thank you to you all. We live in Devon otherwise we would be your.clients.

My two cats were booked in for their vaccinations today, unfortunately one of them was run over and killed last week and subsequently taken to George vets by a member of the public, the vets then called me to let me know she had died. I only recieved an appointment reminder for my remaining cat, so assumed the appointment had been automatically cancelled for my dead cat. When I visited with my remaining cat today, Max on reception passively aggressively asked if I was bringing my other cat in (as we would have been 10 minutes late for her appointment) to which I had to remind them that she was bought in dead the week prior. I understand that records may not be updated in time and it must be frustrating when people miss their appointments, but the rudeness in which I was greeted is unprofessional. I was then asked the same question regarding my no-show cat when called in to see the vet, so despite the embarrassment of being asked once already at reception, the message still wasn’t passed on to the vet.

They took great care of our family and shops dog until she sadly passed away. They showed great care and compassion during her life. They even sent us a letter/card of condolences after she passed away. Highly recommended

I had only 4 months ago had the need to use a vet and used the George vets Nailsworth, my little jack Russell Marley Dog became poorly and very sadly we had him put to sleep at the grand age of 15 💔 from our 1st visit until our last visit on Friday 18th July the care and compassion we received from Andi, Jay and all the nurses was amazing. We can't thankyou enough for the way you treated Marley. At the time of putting Marley to Sleep the way Jay treated us was so compassionate and made a very hard day a little more bearable. Once again thankyou to you all.

I’ve been using The George for several years now, initially for our elderly rescue dog (RIP) who had serious health issues towards the end of his life, and more recently for my cat. Both have received amazing medical care and compassion from all the vets (and nurses and receptionists) we’ve seen over time, but especially Ella who’s very fond of my cat, Pookie. (He’s from Las Vegas and is quite the character!). Ella has successfully managed his former high blood pressure (now perfect) and reversed a heart murmur. Some tooth extractions went very smoothly with no complications. Appointments are always granted quickly and a genuine interest is taken in each individual pet. (I recommended this practice to our equine vet for her Jack Russell and she loves them too and credits The George with saving his life when he’d ingested an unknown poison on a farm.) Can’t recommend highly enough.
