I really wanted to say thank you to Keshia and the team in Wimborne for the outstanding care they took of my cat over the years. Being a very elderly and nervous chap, he was apprehensive about going to the vets but Keshia always went out of her way to make him feel relaxed and comfortable. She took time to get to know him. When the time came for our final visit this week, she treated him and us with such kindness and dignity. We could not have asked for a more gentle experience. Thank you very much.

First ever visit, and Burga (my kitten) and I were made to feel so welcome. Professional, very friendly staff, who obviously love animals and can't do enough for them. Burga had so much fun, I'm sure she's actually looking forward to her next visit!

First time visiting here with our dog Mable. The vet was lovely and very patient with our dog who can be anxious. She worked around her and Mable loved the treats! No judgement on how we choose to feed our dogs and on if we vaccine or don't vaccine our dogs. Would highly recommend.

A vets practice who offer a fantastic service, with a genuine friendly team (receptionist and vet were amazing) who really do care. They offered informative advice and took the time to explain all options. The facilities were impressive and my dogs loved the spacious waiting area with a lovely greeting from the receptionist. I highly recommend Vetsmiths - pop in and take a look, you won’t be disappointed!
