A massive shout-out to Wooding's Family Veterinary Practice for giving our dog a total Hollywood makeover! We went in for a dental cleaning, and honestly, his teeth are so white now that I’m actually a little jealous. I might need to book an appointment for myself next! 😂 The team did a brilliant job—super professional, but also so incredibly sweet with him. Our pup walked out looking like he belongs in a toothpaste commercial. 🦷🐶 We are so grateful here in Bary for the amazing care. If you want your furry friend to have a dazzling smile (and fresh breath for once!), this is the place to go. Highly recommended

I have a Japanese Shiba Inu (Ranni) and like a lot of Shibas she can be a little skittish, which makes me feel very guilty when we have to go to the vets. I researched local vets to find one I could have confidence in, and I was not disappointed on arriving at the practice today. There is good parking, the practice is warm and clean, the staff are compassionate and kind. Ranni only had her booster jab today, so it's such a small thing, but feeling reassured and at ease is something I have come to prize very highly, and I'll definitely be back.

We re-homed a 14 month old GSD who had not been socialised much and is reactive to new situations. When I decided to register him with Woodings I visited the practice to explain this and, that he was due his booster vaccination, they were very accommodating suggesting an appointment at a quieter time. Visiting the vet was a challenge but staff were patient,Ian in particular. Ian took the time to listen to our queries, he did his very best to examine a very large stressed dog who he had not met before and thankfully was able to give our dog his vaccination. Our second visit was a little less of a challenge and although our dog wasn’t completely relaxed he was better behaved and slightly less barky at poor Ian. Again Ian took the time to explain our queries and concerns regarding neutering. I would highly recommend this veterinary practice, they are professional, kind and helpful. Thank you to all the staff at Woodings, I definitely made the right choice in registering my dog with you.

Fabulous visit at the vet with helpful and welcoming faces.

Very friendly and professional veterinary practice. Fortunately their vets know all about tortoises as well as other domestic pets which is very important to me. On each visit every treatment is always fully explained and they will always give the best advice to keep it your pet healthy. Definitely 5 stars

We were devastated when the time sadly came to put our much loved Yorkshire Terrier Max to sleep. Vet Ian explaned everything with such professionalism and together with the support of his caring dedicated team, Max passed over the rainbow bridge peacefully, with my husband and I by his side. We thank everyone at Wooding's Family Veterinary Practice for all the care shown towards Max and us, not only during Max's final journey, but also for the care and support received over the past year. Highly recommend this practice. Rest in Eternal Peace, Max..xx

We take both our dog and cat to Wooding’s Family Veterinary Practice in Collier Row, and the care they receive is exceptional. The team are incredibly personable, friendly, and professional, always taking the time to make our pets feel at ease and to explain everything clearly. It’s clear that everyone there genuinely cares about the animals they look after. We have complete confidence in the team at Wooding’s and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a kind, trustworthy, and dedicated veterinary practice. Feel very lucky to have them local in the area!

This is a fantastic family practice, extremely accommodating and genuinely caring. Staff are very helpful and polite. Unfortunately we only discovered this practice recently towards the end of our Pets life. They did everything they could to save him and kept us constantly up to date with our options, including complete transparency with costs. When there was nothing else that could be done to save our pet, it really felt they understood the grief we were going through and were very comforting. They even went to the trouble of sending a card with their condolences which was very touching . We cannot rate this practice highly enough and you should not hesitate to register with them. Thank you

This was my first time using this vet and the experience was great from beginning to end. I had to take my cat in for dental surgery, and the vet was attentive, listened to our concerns and we felt safe leaving our cat with the staff (as he is a little nervous on vet visits) The service and care was perfect, I recommend!
