Very understanding and helpful with treatment of a stray cat that became very sick. Offered various treatments and talked at length about long term problems he had.

I used to love Sage Vets because when my dog has her claws cut they hold her in a way that she feels comfortable and does not struggle as she has arthritis in her legs. During my recent visit though I asked the receptionist to do this and she completely ignored me and clamped her down on the table. My dog was obviously in distress and struggling so I asked her again to hold her as I asked and once again she completely ignored me and my dog continued to struggle. I never want to witness this again. I left feeling very upset and angry.

My mum wanted me to review Sage as she had to have her cat euthanised; she had a tumour,sadly, which the vet identified straightaway. The vet was lovely and allowed my parents as much time as they needed to say goodbye to Dolly. She wasn't kept in for expensive tests, she was just humanely put to sleep. My parents are both quite elderly and have vowed not to get any more pets so I'm glad their last vet visit was a good one.
