Millie was very poorly when I took her to SANDBECK Vets on Friday. Bloods test revealed high white blood cells. She had a liver infection and got a 2 weeks antibiotic injection. And today only 48 hours later she’s back to her old (18) self. I’m so grateful for the expert treatment and kindness shown to her.

Sandbeck staff are amazing. Our puppy George had her first visit this week and we cannot thank the team enough. Staff make every effort to make you and your pet feel welcome. George loved her visit and is feeling much better. I have never experienced vetinary care like what sandbeck offer. Absolutely fantastic. Thank you 😊

Superb service from everyone at Sandbeck Vets over the past five years. The care, professionalism and dedication of the entire team is second to none. The advantage of an independent veterinary practice ensures you will always be guaranteed the same consistently high standard of care by a team who know your pet and how important they are to you and your family. Support from a team of clinical staff for routine appointments and health checks to more complicated medical conditions with the practice partners gives every owner the confidence in knowing their furry friend is always getting the very best care. From a personal perspective the help and guidance from Julian, Mark, Natalie and especially Ed has been nothing short of bloody marvellous! Being able to actually speak to a vet who genuinely cares about you and your pet while working through a challenging diagnostic period is what takes Sandbeck to the next level of veterinary medicine. We are still not out of the woods yet but every step in the journey is fully explained & thoroughly thought through with us, so together we can make the best decisions for Gem’s best interests. I cannot recommend Sandbeck highly enough. Thank you to everyone for their care, expertise, compassion & empathy from the front desk to the treatment room. Not all heroes wear capes!
