Amazing was very reassuring to my cat we’ve drawn up a plan for now to help manage her comfort Jack & his wife both speak with empathy and understanding the fact he does come to see my cat in her home helps massively highly recommended

Absolutely brilliant. No hassle, what a genuine lovely person Jack is. We are so pleased we were able to have him call on us to give Buster our adoptive ten year old cat his vaccination and nail trim. We are all very happy and I feel certain Buster feels better now his claws do not catch on to everything. Thank you Jack. A truly genuine animal lover.

We found Garvey Vets when we were looking for support for our much loved dachshund, Freddo, who was very poorly. From our very first enquiry, the care and compassion we received was incredible. We initially spoke to Liz, who was absolutely amazing. She answered all of our questions, put us completely at ease and kept in touch with us throughout. Freddo was never a fan of going to the vets, so when the time came, it was really important to us that he could pass peacefully and comfortably in his own home. Liz made us feel completely supported in making that happen. From the moment we met Jack, we knew Freddo was in the very best hands. He was incredibly kind, calm and compassionate, talked us gently through the whole process and took such wonderful care of Freddo and of us both during an incredibly difficult time. The communication, support and genuine care we received from both Liz and Jack meant more to us than we can put into words. At one of the hardest times, they made everything feel peaceful, dignified and full of kindness. We feel incredibly lucky that we found Garvey Vets and simply cannot recommend them both highly enough. What an amazing business and two truly wonderful people. Thank you for taking care of our boy 💙

Would highly recommend Garvey Vets. Jack was fantastic with mom's elderly dog from start to finish, explained everything in detail as we proceeded and gave our girl the most peaceful and dignified end to her wonderful life. Thank you so much Jack and Liz- we are so grateful 🐾 xx

We came to Jack and Liz (Garveys Vets) when the time had come to let our precious boy go. I can’t speak highly enough of what they have done for us. Jack was so sensitive and understanding when he came out and made the process as good as it could be for me and my family. The support we have had since has been nothing short of exceptional and this has made the grieving process easier for us all. Thank you both so much, you are a credit to yourselves and to the profession you are in. Will & Emma

My local vet recommended Garvey Vets for a very poorly stray male cat called Tom-tom who had never been to the vets, handled or stroked. Jack came out same day and managed a difficult situation with insight, expertise, care and compassion. Jack explained his illness in detail and after i had weighed up the options it was time to say goodbye to a cat i had fed for years and until 3 weeks ago had never wanted to come indoors. Jack also arranged his cremation. Tom-tom is now at peace and so am i knowing that he is not suffering anymore. Thankyou Jack for the wonderful unique service you provide for us and all fur babies.

I have nothing but the highest praise for Jack and Liz. Jack has helped my boys so much enjoy their later years pain free. When Jack came to put Henry to sleep last week he was so kind and understanding. The cards and paw print from our boy off Jack after was so lovely. There’s only vets we’d use….

I can’t recommend Jack enough, he is such a kind and compassionate vet. You helped make our poorly dog comfortable in November and made the experience of euthanasia the best it could be. Forever grateful! Everyone needs to saves Jacks number!

Garvey Vets were very friendly, professional, and supportive with the treatment of my pet. They went above and beyond by not only providing the initial care requested, but also provided recommendations for care of my pet to reduce the risk of further callouts, underlining the importance of welfare of the animal. 10/10, I would recommend this vet to all my friends and family. Zhukov (my hamster) is proud to have met the Garvey Vets team.

I can’t speak highly enough about the team at Garvey vets. Nothing but professional, thorough and most importantly compassionate service from them; I would recommend them to anyone. It is easy to see that they genuinely care for the animals they treat. Thank you Jack and Liz. I appreciate the help you have provided to our family.
