Rachel Mowbray-Richardson Veterinary Services – Vets in Stroud
Clinic Overview
- Recent reviewers repeatedly describe thorough, unhurried investigations and treatment for lameness, pain and mobility problems, including CT scans, ultrasound, chiropractic care and hydrotherapy. - Communication stands out strongly: owners say the team explains each step well, keeps them updated during longer appointments, and checks before doing anything beyond what has already been discussed. - Handling of nervous or reactive dogs is a major theme, with several owners saying their dogs were noticeably calmer here than at other practices and that staff adapted the pace and environment well.
