Piddle Valley Vets Ltd

Piddle Valley Vets Ltd is a general veterinary practice offering emergency veterinary services, with reviews describing both routine support (e.g., advice on probiotics and gastrointestinal diets) and end-of-life care (a vet and nurse carrying out an at-home euthanasia appointment and allowing the family as much time as needed). Recent feedback is mostly very positive, but there are also repeated 1‑star reviews alleging the practice refused to provide any care to a “rescue dog” due to a stated policy about contamination risk—so owners may want to clarify policies directly if this could apply to their pet.

Services

•Emergency veterinary services (described in the clinic’s service listings).
•At-home euthanasia: a vet and nurse attending a scheduled home visit for euthanasia, with time given to say goodbye (from a review).
•Gastrointestinal support for dogs: advice on probiotics the practice stocks and guidance on obtaining gastrointestinal food for an upset stomach (from a review).
•Rabbit care: one reviewer says they wouldn’t take their rabbit anywhere else (specific treatments not detailed).

People

•Lilly: mentioned for practical, fast help over the phone—advising on probiotics stocked and where to get requested gastrointestinal food, with the reviewer reporting they were served within about 15 minutes after calling.
•Vet and nurse team (names not given): described as arriving as arranged for an at-home euthanasia and giving the family time and space during the appointment.

Reviews

Google rating: 4.8 stars from 204 reviews. - Multiple owners describe “personal service” and being “professional and thorough,” including for rabbits.

•Practical help for short-notice needs is mentioned: phone advice on probiotics and gastrointestinal food, followed by quick in-practice service.
•End-of-life care is described in detail: a scheduled at-home euthanasia carried out by a vet and nurse, with time allowed to say goodbye.
•A clear conflict appears in the latest reviews: two 1‑star reviews (same author, posted weeks apart) allege the practice refused to administer any care because the dog was a rescue and could “contaminate humans,” described as a stated policy.

Absolutely disgusting. "Because your dog is a rescue dog, we won't blah blah blah, it is our policy, your dog could contaminate humans." "So what you are saying is, because my dog is a rescue dog you won't administer any care at all for him?" "Yes that's right." Unbelievable.

On holiday in the area and my dog got an upset stomach from sea water! Phoned Piddle Valley vets and Lilly couldn’t have been more helpful. She advised me on the probiotics they stocked and where I could get the gastrointestinal food I had requested. Within 15mins I had been to the surgery and served. Great service and extra 5* for Lilly! Thank you

Yesterday, the vet and nurse came to our house (just at the time arranged) to euthanize our dear dog, Mia. They were wonderful, kind, caring and professional. They allowed us as much time as we needed to say goodbye and we want to say a huge 'thank you'. A and M Johnson.

We have to travel here but it is worth every mile. Wouldn't take our rabbit anywhere else. They treat all the animals as if they were their own and are very professional and thorough with all they do. Thank you so much we trust no one else but you
