Absolute bunch of sweethearts working there. Everyone are so kind and obviously truly love animals which is clearly very evident from the phone call to the actual appointment itself. I’ve been going there with my fatty and ratty for 10 yrs and feel very fortunate that they’re the first ones I called when I got my first kitten. Would highly recommend them. 🤩🥰😻

I have used Lynwood Vets since we got married 48 years ago. We had Cats then, and many Dogs, Cats and other small Animal's since.It was a small practice run by Mr. Ranger and Mr. Bennett in North Street.It has changed alot since then, not always for the best I'm afraid, especially the cost. You seem to see someone different every time. Having said that, the Staff are always friendly, and helpful, and when i visited yesterday,my nervous dog Belle was made to feel at ease for her yearly Vaccinations by the Vet,which is a bonus

Looked after my Flat-coat and identified it via its chip after our incompetent dog sitter had lost it it in Wareham Forest. She got picked up by a good Samaritan and dropped off at Lynwood. They immediately phoned me, and never was I more relieved to hear she was safe and being cared for.

Unable to add a separate review, so adding to our earlier review appears to be our only option! Had a great experience with Basil yesterday as usual… would expect nothing less. Flo has been a wonderful replacement for Selena… nothing is too much trouble. She is interested, kind and extremely knowledgeable. As well as being gentle and understanding to Basil. Thank you for your ongoing care of our elderly cat! We have always been very happy with the care given to our cats by Selena, Emily and now Duncan and all the nurses and staff. However, the care has been exceptional at times.. including operations for Basil by Emily and Selena. Most recently we had to make the difficult decision to let Rosie be put to sleep at Wareham… Duncan could not have been kinder, patiently and professionally explaining, thereby helping us to make an informed & right choice. Collecting her ashes was hard and again the team could not have been more sensitive or kind. Thank you Lynwood

Lynwood Vets in Wareham is an exceptional veterinary practice. Debbie at reception is amazing. She's always so helpful, patient with immense kindness and understanding. She goes way & beyond to he helpful in every way. All the vets there have ALWAYS taken great care to treat & look my pet. Duncan who has treated my pet is just phenomenal. He has always treated my pet with kindness & really cares about her welfare. Everytime we see him, he does everything to make sure that my pet is well. He goes out of his way & tries to do all that he can to make sure she has the utmost treatment & care. I hope he never retires as he is the BEST vet I've ever seen.
