Our miniature dachshund Rhubarb became ill quickly, our vets referred us to swift with potential IVDD. They got us in the same day and he was diagnosed with stage 2 IVDD. I was offered options of crate rest and medical management or surgery, I opted for surgery. The surgeon Dan was really helpful and offered me all options, he was taken for an mri and had the surgery performed. I was kept updated by Dan daily, unfortunately he developed a blood clot but this was removed quickly, though this was a set back and meant he came home with no use of his back legs, he has gone on to make a full recovery and is back to his usual self. The aftercare from swift was amazing, both Dan and the veterinary nurses and the reception staff supported us daily during his time there, and kept us informed in what was a really worrying time for us all. I would recommend swift again and again. Thank you for all your help

At a time of Trauma with our pet, the staff could not have been kinder or more caring.

Fantastic care, very quick to act and respond. Rory in particular was amazing with my cat and is continuing to keep up to date with his ongoing recovery and care. Cannot fault the service. Very reassuring in times of serious pet illness.

We had to take our dog to Swift Emergencies on a Sunday afternoon. Our own vets was closed and their out of hours service is Swift. We were really concerned about our dog and from the initial phone call to discharge 5 days later, the whole experience has been 5 star plus! All the staff were really helpful, and explained everything clearly. They have made a very stressful few days, a little bit more bearable.

Doug was unfortunately involved in a RTA just before Christmas and was referred to Swift by our local vets. From the initial phone call, to bringing him in, to him being discharged, the staff at Swift have all been amazing. From the surgeon, vets, nurses and clinical care staff, they are all a credit to the practice. I’ve been updated every step of the way and reassured with every decision made at the best interest for Doug. They have all made a very stressful situation less stressful knowing he’s been in good hands. Doug is usually very timid with vets but he’s has taken a shine to everyone at the practice. We now have a running joke that Doug does things to come back just to see everyone. Again, a credit to the staff at the practice and thank you for making him feel so comfortable. The aftercare since his discharge has been amazing, every answer has always been answered by the clinical care staff and a vet or nurse has always called in a timely manner if I’ve needed to speak to them. He’s also needed to go back a couple of times since his first discharge and has been seen very quickly. He is now on the mend recovering at home. Massive thank you to everyone, especially for caring for him over the Christmas period

On a number of occasions Swift has rescued our precious Lola. I don’t use the word rescued lightly, but the team have performed miracles on our girl. For more than a year, you have been patient, understanding and most importantly you have listened to us when other vets haven’t. Bethan is a credit to Swift, along with the RVN’s, client care and the other vets who work hard in the background. You work great as a team and it shows! Once again you guys came through for us and Lola, and we will always be grateful for the borrowed time we have with her. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so very much for saving her life on more than one occasion and thank you once again for being patient with us….more so me! As you know she means the world to us and we will always be guided by your professional opinions. Lola has a great life to live and you’re all helping her live it. ❤️
