The most amazing vets I've been to. So lovely to see the empathy on the vets and reception faces and such kind words.

Recently completed a puppy training course with Ellie at Holly House. Absolutely fantastic, helped explain and demonstrate useful commands, but was also super happy to answer questions/give advice on issues specific to each dog. Hope to join the next level course in the future!

⸻ Losing my dog was devastating. What made it even more painful was the way communication was handled throughout my experience. When I first called because my dog had collapsed, I was told they were dealing with another emergency and to call back in ten minutes. At that moment, it was truly a life-or-death situation. Pet owners need immediate guidance, reassurance, or clear triage direction in emergencies. Being asked to simply call back left me feeling unsupported during the most critical moment. Tragically, my dog was put to sleep due to a splenic bleed — a situation the vets could not have changed. Afterwards, when I raised concerns, I was advised there was a 14-day timeframe in relation to my complaint. This was later described as a misunderstanding. I understand that miscommunications can happen; however, clarity and consistency are especially important when someone is grieving and seeking answers. The shifting explanation added confusion and unnecessary stress at an already traumatic time. Rather than clear accountability, responses often felt focused on process rather than acknowledging the emotional impact of the situation. Clients should not have to repeatedly push for clarity when raising legitimate concerns. While reports were eventually provided, the overall handling of communication added avoidable distress during an already heartbreaking experience. I hope Holly House reflects seriously on how communication, triage procedures, ownership, and empathy are delivered in situations where pets’ lives are at stake

This was my first visit to Holly House and I registered Rex. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience really comfortable. Even though Rex was quite noisy, everyone was very patient and understanding. Overall, a really positive experience.”

We the the unfortunate need for an emergency vets on Sunday- whilst a situation I would not wish on anyone if you ever do need one I could not speak more highly of Holly House. From the initial phone call to everyone we dealt with, Holly House were fantastic. I was a mess and despite what I imagine is probably a very high pressured environment for the staff everyone was so supportive and kind. Our dog had to be kept in for monitoring and we were kept updated and at every stage every option was communicated clearly.

When it was time to say goodbye to our beloved senior dog, the team at this clinic showed incredible empathy and professionalism. They made a heartbreaking moment as peaceful and dignified as possible, providing support not only to our pet but also to our family. We will always be grateful for their kindness during such a difficult time.
