Avoid for your pets sake

I joined the vet for my kitten my first cat and I was unsure how to look after her properly. Therefore I joined the vets health plan and all went okay other than overcharging me 4 out of 5 times one of these times I had to wait a week for my money to hit my account after the refund. After learning kittens do better with a play mate I got a second kitten and covered her on her own health plan. Only due to having gone through the process with Luna and my friend asking me about lolas worming did I realise the medication for lola was never given to me. So on friday morning after emailing the clinic i called them when I found the meds covered other much more serious feline problems and my kitten had been left unprotected. After speaking to the reception and understanding things go wrong from time to time I was told the meds will be available later on in the day but to wait until I recieve a text message before setting off so I don't have to wait. As the importance to me was significant I took the afternoon off and waited. No one bothered to contact me I was left waiting. This was the final straw and I replied to the email explaining no one contacted me and I have decided to find another vet therefore want to cancel the health plans. Today monday I receive am e mail threatening me with a surcharge which I will not be paying. If you love your pet stay away from here they really do not care and the service litterally puts your pet att risk

Wonderful team

Was so worried about our StaffieRang the vets and got appointment for the afternoon,, The vet explained everything and was so wonderful,,, We were given medication however advised we didn't have to buy it from them,,, We are in a very fortunate position and can afford certain treatments with a cover plan as financial support,,, I can honestly say the veterinary gave us peace of mind and reduced our stress and anxiety,,, Absolutely wonderful practice

Disgusting

Disgusting, immoral, truly awful company. I’ve been a customer for 14 years. In that time I have spent in excess of £10,000 (waiting for confirmation of how much, but they say their records go back to 2012. Contacted my bank too as I don’t trust them)On 6/5/2022, I took my dog into their Hyde surgery for a £1000 ultrasound scan.It took me 5 minutes to get home and I had a missed call. Expensive 5 minute scan.I called them back to be told by the exceptionally rude woman I left her with, that she had a tumour on her liver and did I want to have her put to sleep.She said my dog had 3 months maximum and I collected her.For the next 2 years I was charged ridiculous prices monthly for basic medication (gabapentin and omeprazole).And £110 for a supplement called samilyn, that is £60 on Amazon. They also insisted I bring my dog in every 3 months before they would give medication to ease her pain. Just an excuse for more of their ridiculously priced “consultations”.Today I called them to say my dog is now at the stage where she should be put to sleep, and that I would prefer that to happen at home. I was told no one would be available before next week, and that the call out charge alone would be £480, before any injections.I’m disgusted. This is why these thieving scammers need regulation. I’d be more than happy to discuss this face to face in any of your surgeries. I plan to email every press department that may be interested on post on every pet forum I can find. This immoral company should not be allowed to trade.They are the lowest of the low.

Sent home with wrong medicines lucky I noticed. Now they lost my dogs blood sample and denied they even took the blood even though they asked me to come back free of charge. Would definitely not recommend this vet's. Reception staff and nurses too busy laughing and messing about behind counter. Vet surgeon very nice but too many and never see the same one. £1200 later and my dogs eye as bad as day one

Immoral Vets

Tameside Veterinary Clinic was once an independent vets. It is now owned by a huge private equity corporation. It has no interest in animal welfare only profit. Every time I have visited this practice they are always trying to get me to agree to treatment that is completely unnecessary and very expensive.The last time I visited this practice I only went to get two injections that my cat Alfie had in the past. I told the vet that was what I wanted him give to Alfie. He did exactly what I asked him to do. On leaving I was presented with a bill for £102. £45 was for both injections that Alfie had been given. That, I do not begrudge paying. What I did begrudge was a £57 consultation fee when there was no consultation given. The dictionary definition of consultation is as follows: A meeting with an expert or professional, such as a medical doctor, in order to seek advice. There was no advice sought, I told the vet exactly what I wanted him to do to Alfie and he did. Tameside Vets have refused to refund the £57 fee for a consultation that never happened.Unfortunately over 50% of veterinary practices are now owned by private equity corporations. All they are interested in doing is relieving you of as much money as they can. Their motivation isn't animal welfare, it is purely profit. Even the vets there are more like salespeople. They push you to go for every possible treatment even if you probably can't afford it. Independent vets are becoming rarer. They do have animal welfare at heart. Sadly these huge greedy corporations are not there for us and our pets benefit.

I would NEVER recommend any animal to go to tameside veterinary clinic (that included a all clinics) Their shear incompetence and willingness to cover up wrong doings is dangerous to say the leave.My dog had a general anesthetic and died and they tried to deny it. I would never trust them with any animal

This is for Tameside vets in Hyde

This is for Tameside vets in Hyde, absolute disgrace. Back in November i rang them because my cat was really poorly and he's never been ill. I rang them and told them how poorly he was and I needed to bring him down to see a vet, they choose to give me the last appointment. Me and my son took him down and the vet lifted the top of the carrier off and said that he's really poorly and we CANT do anything as we are closing, what the hell!!! I had to take him to Ian McConnell's in mossely because they were open 24Hrs. This cost me a lot of money. and a couple of weeks later they had to put him to sleep, I was heartbroken. Tameside vets charged me £50 for them to refuse treatment for my cat. Which I will not pay I'm disgusted what they did. I have now got 2 kittens and they were under the care of Tameside from the place we bought them from. I told them 3 times when I set the pet plan up about my late cat and they didn't listen. so when my new kittens had their first injections and paid for the first payment, I got a text message to say that they will NOT being treating my fur babies as I have an outstanding bill of £50 and now they are hounding me for £250 for the remaining pet plan...... Hang you refused the care of kittens!!!I AM NOT PAYING SIMPLE. absolute disgrace this vets, avoid at all cost. I wouldn't even give them 1 star !!!!!!!!

The vets are all brilliant but one nurse not

All vets are great and I'm happy to recommend the doctors there especially Przemysław Idzikowski brilliant work He done.. Thanh to you for your work. But the nurse tried to convince me to pay more.The attitude of one nurse was very bad, she refused to give her name. So I bet you can checked that by name of pet and the date. well, she was stroking my kitten without gloves and hand sterilization, I asked nicely if she could stop stroking my kitten so hard that her legs were bending or at least put gloves on, the nurse was annoyed by this so i explained myself by saying I wasn't rude i just not sure who she had touched before, maybe had fleas or different smell and I don't like that. Unfortunately, she was offended by the attention and was rude to me asking how she could get the vaccination without touching the cat, so again I politely said I was just asking you to stop petting my cat in that hard and annoying way not touching it and this is a diametrical difference (if I come with a trained German Shepherd, she would never pet him because he is trained only for one owner) and she should know that if she wants to become a doctor without making a funny face at me.I asked to speak to the veterinarian, she refused and offered to arrange a consultation for me at another time if I wanted to talk to the vet . I said I had already paid £100 for two visits and had the right to speak to the vet, she refused and said that she would not do the second vaccination if I had to go to the vet I had to pay again and do the first vaccination again then do the second so I said I came for a second vaccination and I am asking for it to be done..she was very rude and mean. I understand that she is young in apprenticeship but she should have respect for the client. I thought I'd write a complaint specifically about what she wrote after that visit. She lied that I was rude and that I was talking to people in the waiting room. The only person i spoke to that day was the receptionist. I was very disappointed in the lies of this nurse and I will avoid visits with her and advise others because she lies and writes made up things that did not happen.My cat's name is Nasa i hope you know who i and maybe you will be ashamed of what you wrote about me. Because I've been EXTREMELY patient with you, and I think I'm absolutely right that you should wear gloves when you're vaccinating. I don't think you'd be comforted if a doctor at the hospital took your blood without gloves. I have no problems with any person at the clinic and I am nice to everyone, I have been a client since 2019 and I have never met such a mean person. No one even wrote about me that kind of comment like you. , I understood I upset you I drew your attention about wearing gloves but you should be a professional if you think you are right we can go to court and then we'll find out who was right and whether you should actually wear gloves.
