Incredibly helpful and caring people. Couldn't fault or ask for anything more.

We cannot thank this vet surgery enough. Our dog, Mickey, slipped a disc and from the very first moment, Dr Max Foreman was incredible. Kind, patient and genuinely caring, he treated Mickey as if he were his own. We had to unexpectedly leave Mickey overnight initially, and then again later for his surgery. It was heartbreaking, but we had complete confidence that he was in the very best hands. Every single person at the clinic was compassionate and reassuring throughout. Mickey is now recovering well and we genuinely owe that to the skill, care and dedication of this team. He clearly adored Max too and didn’t seem in any rush to leave him when we came to pick him up, which says it all. Thank you for making what was a very stressful and worrying time so much easier for us. We could not recommend you more highly. Georgia, James, Mickey and Lulu

Excellent care, you can tell they truly care about the animals they work with, and the opportunity to speak 1:1 with Jane was very kind of her during a very busy week. Would highly recommend their service.

I can’t speak highly enough of the team at Granta vets who saw us back in May. From the very first contact with Deborah after referral, through to the initial consult, aftercare and follow-up, everyone was so friendly, empathetic, and genuinely caring. The communication was brilliant — clear, consistent, and reassuring every step of the way. The vets are incredibly experienced, knowledgeable, and open-minded, which really shows in the way that they approach each case. They took the time to understand my dog and our situation, treating us both with such kindness and respect. I felt completely confident leaving my dog in their care. After the surgery, I was kept fully informed, and I could tell how much they cared about my dog’s recovery and comfort. The practice itself is spotless — calm, welcoming, and absolutely immaculate with state of the art facilities. They were completely upfront about costs too, and for the level of care, expertise, and attention we received, I felt the prices were more than fair, and absolutely worth every penny. A special thanks to Jane, who went above and beyond throughout the whole process. Her warmth, professionalism, and genuine compassion made such a difference — she took the time to fully listen, and made both me and my dog feel completely at ease. What stood out most was how individually she approached our case - tailoring her care specifically to our needs rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Her attention to detail and genuine dedication were truly exceptional. Granta’s bond-centred and individual approach really sets them apart. I’ve genuinely never experienced such an exceptional level of veterinary care before, and I feel grateful to have found them. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Granta to anyone looking for compassionate, professional, and trustworthy specialist vets.

Our 1-year old Working Cocker became seriously unwell after inhaling a corn head, which lodged in his lung. After 10 weeks of investigations and treatment elsewhere, the team at Granta Veterinary Specialists quickly identified and resolved the problem without the need for invasive surgery. Their expertise, professionalism, and care were outstanding throughout, and we are incredibly grateful for the successful outcome. Special shout outs to Deborah and Annie on reception, and in particular Rob Foale (aka. Scopey Rob (soz!) for his professionalism, excellent pre-treatment bedside manner, and clear communication, which gave us total confidence at what was a very stressful time.

Granta vets provide a wonderful service, in particular Jane Ladlow. She was very caring towards my bulldog Sidney and the outcome of her surgery was a huge improvement to her future quality of life. You are in very good hands with this fabulous team.

I cannot recommend highly enough. The care, love and support my dog and I have received has been phenomenal. From Robert Foale (splendid man) to the veterinarian staff I didn’t meet and Ella the receptionist (fabulous coffee maker) The biggest thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I honestly thought I was going to lose Huxley.

We can’t thank the team at Granta Vets enough for their incredible care and expertise. From the very first appointment they were approachable, professional, and deeply reassuring - exactly what we needed during such a stressful time. Max Foreman’s diagnosis was very thorough, clearly explained and the level of surgical and post-operative care was outstanding. Max kept us informed every step of the way and it was so reassuring to know Rosie was in such good hands. Thank you for giving Rosie the best possible outcome. We are so pleased and can’t thank you enough.
