    Petfocus were the only vet who was able to see my cat, Leo, at such short notice. Sadly, he could not be saved but the care he recieved was amazing. I was informed of his condition regularly, notified about costs, what the treatments were and why, etc. They were very helpful with sorting out a payment plan as the cost was extensive. Thankyou guys so much for all you did. I truly appreciate it. Even 12 months on he is missed dearly.

    We had an emergency and after trying 4 other vets including my regular one, all of which were fully booked, they fit my dog inbetween appointments even though they were fully booked themselves.


    Dr Renee did a great job repairing the damage and going thoroughly over the after care and options available.
