The team at Village Vets Formby see their role as a vocation. They clearly love animals. This is evident from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave. Our golden retriever, Ellie, has always had great care shown to her so much so I think she prefers the vet to the pet shop!We always feel that the dog is in good hands. Thanks everyone

I have not had dogs for a few years and have changed from the normal breed I have. Village Vets have made the transition very easy with sound advice and being all round friendly and helpful with some minor issues I had at the start and they got us back on the mend quickly. We have slightly differing views on healthcare and nutrition which I feel we can discuss openly so my pets are supported and I would trust the team completely with my animals care. Always leave feeling very happy and like I’ve had a great experience focused on my pets well being.

During lockdown our young cat badly injured his leg and our own vet couldn't fit him in for an appointment for 2 days.Village Vets were very understanding and concerned about him and fitted him in their busy schedule that morning. Everyone we dealt with was polite and friendly and vet explained everything clearly .We had a follow up appointment but as his leg had improved a lot we did this by video appointment which was a first for me but very easy to do. Thank you.

Great service from all at Village Vets Formby on today's visit with my cat & dog. As usual we were seen immediately. The vet had a lovely way with my cat on her free 6 month check-up under the VIP scheme. The vet also dealt with my wary dog in his stride. My dog didn't even realise he was having his annual booster. The reception staff are extremely friendly and on the ball. They always know when pets are due worm, flea & tick treatment under the VIP scheme. I am made to feel like part of the Village Vets family which is a true community focused vet practice. Thank you. xxx

Wonderful kind staff. We had to take our 5 month old puppy to a hastily arranged emergency appointment last night. The vet Cristian was so kind & patient with Eric our puppy who was grumpy & nervous. We were dealt with quickly, kindly & professionally. Gemma who was on the reception desk was as friendly & lovely as always. Her soft spot for Eric is always appreciated. Eric is on the mend & we are so grateful. I would highly recommend the village veterinary surgery..

We have been with Village Vets for 12 years. Always very helpful and understanding. They have looked after our Bella for all this time. Unfortunately we recently had to put our crazy Jack Russell to sleep. But the help and attentive staff there gave her every chance. These are people who care and with Maria and Helen as surgeons she was always looked after.

This vet surgery is absolutely brilliant. The staff are always helpful, polite and friendly. They are very kind to the animals and love to spend time with them to help keep them calm.

This is the only practice I have been to were everyone is so friendly and welcoming. My dogs even like going as they always get a smokey bone or three. You are allowed plenty of time so not rushed in and out. They really care for all pets. Recently I have lost two dogs and the sympathy and service they offered really helped me at such a bad time. Now got a new pup so he is enjoying his cuddles when he goes oh and yes of course a smokey bone

We recently brought our lovely 14 year old cat Maisy in as she had been attacked by another cat. Sadly, as she had other underlying issues, we had to make the decision to put her to sleep 💔😢. All the staff here were so lovely letting us all sit with her and spend some time with her and taking the time to explain everything to us. We received a lovely card off them afterwards which also means a lot. Thank you so much. K Kilner & family.

Our 4 cats have been looked after so well, always with compassion or humour as appropriate. Any ailment has been diagnosed early and successfully treated. We've been taught (with a great deal of patience!) how to administer insulin injections to our diabetic cat, something we never thought we would be able to do. Without Village Vets he would have been in Pussy Heaven years ago. The whole team is fabulous caring and friendly. A definite 5 star recommendation.
