This vets is so good.Jeremy our vet retired and I was a bit concerned who we would see next.On Saturday we saw Toby who was amazing. He put my mind at rest about my dog who had been ill for a few days.She seems to like Toby as much as she liked Jeremy.All the staff here are friendly and helpful.

A helpful and friendly veterinary surgery. The staff are all very supportive on the phone and in person. We have our first puppy and they patiently put our mind at rest around a few questions and issues that we had. I would definitely recommend.

Heathside Vets are phenomenal. I can tell they truly care and I’m so glad I switched to Heathside- the difference is amazing. Highly recommend this lovely place, especially for nervous dogs. Kind, caring and knowledgeable team. Thank you for taking great care of my girl

A fantastic veterinary practice. The staff all care so much about the welfare of their patients, going above what you’d normally expect from a veterinary practice.Sadly we lost one of our older dogs to cancer a few years ago, and the staff were all so upset as they all regarded Maxxy Boy to be one of their own pets.We have moved away from the local area, but we still continue to use this practice because of the way that our pets are treated. Each one of our pets is regarded as if they belong to the staff.

Staff are a delight which is just as well given the awkward access - but not insurmountable with their willing help + ramp - with the same levels of patience and understanding extended to pet parents as well as to the pets themselves. No complaints about pet (dog in my case) health care and Mia loves going, as did the late Mickey before her.

Poor old Georgie, after 9 years with Cushings and being treated by Heathside, finally reached the end and I cannot praise too highly the treatment she and I received. After the sad farewell I was surprised (and pleased) not to be asked to settle the bill at the time, I was far too upset. I learnt today that they contacted Petplan who settled my outstanding account, cancelled the policy and sent me their condolences. Today I received a sympathy card from Heathside who had also arranged the cancellation of my other insurance for Georgie. Their compassionate and efficient procedures are outstanding and I would go nowhere else. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much to Heathside Vets and their amazing staff, who looked after our much loved terrier. Over night, Red couldn't put weight on one of his paws and appeared to be in pain. The staff quickly made an appointment for us and we were seen within an hour of making the call. After some investigation, it was discovered that he had an infection from stepping on something in the garden.The staff and service from the practice was fantastic, especially from Vet Tris and Nurse Sophie Lumb. They both stood out for their amazing team work and bedside manner. Tris gave honest advice on how to treat Red and we felt we could call on him should we have any worries. Sophie was empathetic and eased our nerves with regards to administering medicine and his after care. We even received a follow up call from her on a Sunday. They are a credit to your great team. Thank you Heathside for taking care of our beloved pet.

Jeremy is not only a great vet but he's great with our two dogs - in fact he's been great with all our dogs since we moved into the area...the best bit is our dogs love him so never any concerns..

Thursday was the hardest day for me and my family. We had to say goodbye to our baby Jet, after 13 years. I can’t recommend Heathside enough. Our family decided to have this done at home, it wasn’t a simple visit Jeramy. He was with us for over an hour and a half. They had to much care and compassion for us and Jet and our other animals. Thank you!

Stacey Price

I can not thank Heathside and all the team enough - not only for the outstanding care to my dog throughout but to me as a concerned dog mum. I have had the pleasure of having David the vet throughout most of the care and treatments - he is caring, thorough in what he explains, and patient with any questions I have. All the nurses and receptionists are so caring and friendly too. I had Candice greet my dog and I before surgery yesterday morning and she really put my dog and I at ease. Thank you all so much for everything x

Excellent vets. Highly recommended. My dogs have been with them for years and they have always received amazing care. The staff are kind and caring and always make you feel welcome. Tristram saved our little mans leg after he damaged a ligament in his leg. Can never thank them enough. I’ve had other dogs operated on in the past and my animals and me (neurotic mother) have always received the same exceptional service.

All of the staff at Heathside have been absolutely incredible. This week our 8wk old puppy “Hattie” had seizures the day after we had picked her up. It was so scary to see our little bundle of fluff so poorly! All of the staff rallied round and showed Hattie so much love and care we were quite overwhelmed. We were kept updated of her progress and they took the time to explain exactly what was happening.Fingers crossed she will have a full recovery 🤞🏻🤞🏻💓Thanks from the bottom of our hearts to Heathside.

All the staff at Heathside are some of the most compassionate and caring I've ever met. I am in no doubt that Tristram has saved the life of our cat by diagnosing his asthma. There is nothing that they won't do to help us or our animals, even if it is late and out of hours. We recently met Sophie in her weight loss clinic, and my husband and I were both impressed by her caring nature, and her determination to help our rather tricky cat.Thank you for all you have done for us! We are eternally grateful for your help, advise and treatment.

Having recently bought two kittens I was recommended Heathside by a friend. How glad I am that I chose them!

We have been with Heathside for nine years but Tristram met our anxious Westie, Cass, for the first time this week. He was so good with her and managed to examine her and give her her boosters while she was still wearing her ‘Thundershirt’. He was very quick and Cass was out of the door before she became too stressed. Our other Westie, Molly, is very happy to see Tris too. Very many thanks to Tristram and the whole Heathside team.

Cats Protection Fareham - kittens safely delivered by Heathside Veterinary surgery.I don't say this lightly, I was absolutely in awe of Jeremy and the team today, when they helped a young cat who had been birthing for almost 24 hours. Jeremy took over with such a calm, kind and caring manner, I was totally at ease and confident that she was going to get the best care, and I was absolutely right. At no point was I left wondering or worrying, I was kept up to date every step of the way and was bursting when the first call came in to say that number three was safely delivered..then number four. We see some wicked acts of cruelty and neglect at Cats Protection, but days like today help to ease those memories. From the bottom of my heart, thank you everyone at Heathside, this little lady was treated as if she were my own and I can never thank you enough for that x

Hands down the best veterinary surgery around. From the ladies at the desk to those working behind the scenes and also the vets themselves they put you and your furry babies first! Had to put my lovely 17 year old cat down yesterday and I have to say that David and the team made the whole process run so smooth, keeping my baby comfortable until we could get to her and talking me trough everything, at every step of decision making. The empathy and understanding from the staff puts you at ease. Would never trust anybody else with our animals. Huge huge thanks for everything you have done so far and for all the help you will give us in future when we need your services again ❤️

From registering Oreo, to his first appointment and puppy party, everything has been so simple and clear. The people that work here are absolutely amazing and I cannot fault them. I hope that I never need to use them in an emergency but know that if my Oreo was to become unwell, I can trust them 110%.

I am very happy with Heathside Vets. The girls at the desk were so helpful when I phoned to book my very poorly dog an appointment and when I arrived for my appointment they were lovely and I feel as if I made the right decision to change vets.I was with another vet but not happy as you never saw the same vet twice and were no help at all. Saw David and feel very at ease with him. Checked her out and put her on antibiotics, blood tests next day. Discussed our options and was told what would be best for her. Because of cost wrote everything down in detail so after a ultrasound found what was wrong with my little girl. I thought I was going to loose her 6 weeks ago but feel very positive with all the advice and help from David she will be a happier and healthier little dog. Thank you all at Heathside for your help and care.

Hayley Kneller

I have a lot of experience with vets and some of their attitudes but have never used Heathside before. My finch broke it's leg we think when being caught earlier that day at the shop and when I called I was given an appointment within the hour, seen by Richard. While some vets answer to it might have been euthanasia, Richard advised me of ALL the options and risks and gave him the surgery he needed immediately to remove his leg. All the while dealing with a crazy bird lady owner crying at him. Gerald and I can't thank you all enough!!!

I recently adopted a rescue staffy, and took her for a check up to make sure everything was OK with her. The lady on reception greeted both of us in a very friendly manner and offered my dog a treat. We chatted for a few minutes until Jeremy was ready to see us. Jeremy called us in and took a few minutes to speak to my dog and make friends with her before I got her up on the table. He gave her a thorough check over and reassured me she seemed in good health. The rescue had rehomed her to me as potentially unspayed and my main purpose of visiting the vet was to discuss this as well as a small hernia. Jeremy found a scar on her tummy which made him think she probably had been spayed in the past. He suggested waiting to see if she comes into season and the hernia was not serious and could be done at the same time. We also discussed vaccinations, flea treatment and teeth cleaning. I felt very much involved in the discussion and I will not hesitate to bring my dog back to heathside for ongoing health care. I was also offered a tour of the premises, although I declined because my dog was a bit excited and anxious to leave!

This is the best vet I have ever been joined to looked after my buttons for the past few years with major op removing a lump and was excellent when she sadly had to be put down just before Christmas all the staff were excellent and kind. Well done

Sara Hunt

11:13 09 Feb 17

Heathside Vets have been brilliant! Unfortunately, just before Christmas I had to have my 13 year old Golden beautiful Labrador put to sleep �, Jeremy and his team were Very very sympathetic, caring and just totally understanding that this was a traumatic time for me and did the procedure with such kindness and compassion.Recently my little Westie had to go into them for X-rays on his lungs and dental work. It was recommended by Jenny the Vet that they also gave him a Cardio exam due to his nearly 10 years of age. They regularly telephoned me with updates as to how Charlie was doing and with the results of the Cardio and blood tests, thankfully they were all ok. I collected Charlie in the evening after a thorough and in detail chat with Jenny about what they had found and what was to happen next, I left there feeling very knowledgeable !! It is such a blessing to know my little boy was well looked after and I can't recommend Heathside enough! Thank you all you fantastic bunch for making me feel happy that my little man was in Very safe hands ��

I moved to Heathside Vets about 6 months ago on the recommendation of my dog walker. I have been so impressed with them that I wish I had moved much sooner!! Nothing is too much trouble, I never feel rushed and I feel that my understanding and feelings are as important as treating my dog. They take time to explain everything fully and give a variety of options. My dog was very nervous of the vets before coming here, now he goes in and even pushes the door open to an ever friendly welcome from the team. Everyone has a genuine love of animals and their health and wellbeing takes priority. I feel lucky to have found Heathside and would highly recommend them to anyone who wants the best care for their animal and by best I mean overall picture of what is right for the animal having considered everything. Top class practice.

13:24 01 Dec 16

As our first ever visit to Heathside, I must tell you how absolutely thrilled I was at the experience! We were greeted by a really friendly front of house team, who knew my dog’s name and they greeted her too; my old vets, despite the number of visits over the years, never knew who Lady was! They came over to us and said hello to Lady and put her at ease in the waiting room. David then came out to the waiting room to welcome us, and in we went. Straight away David could see that Lady was a bit nervous and timid, so before I knew it, he was down on the floor with her stroking her and making her feel more comfortable. Then he stayed on the floor to listen to her heart, before she settled down and then moved her up to the table. I have never had that before! I was so shocked and taken aback at how he just didn’t even think, his main priority was making sure my dog was comfortable and at ease, it was just amazing. David then carried out an ultrasound on Lady’s heart, and called Meg in to help. Again, another team member who was amazing. Meg held Lady and stroked her and spoke to her, keeping her calm throughout the whole procedure. It was just lovely. Once the ultrasound was over, David went through everything with me and was very thorough and detailed, whilst still explaining things in an easy to understand way. He really put my mind at ease, and I physically had a sigh of relief. He then reassured me that he would have a listen to her heart murmur each year, doing another ultrasound if needed. I really felt like he cared and that my girl was in the best hands and he was going to keep an eye on her for me. Finally, on leaving, another member of the front of house team held Lady whilst I ran to the loo (pregnancy does that to you!) and I came back and Lady was happy. In the waiting room and in the consultation room, Lady seemed relaxed and was wagging her tail, which she has never done at a vets before!Overall, I left feeling that I had just had the most personal, caring, friendly and thorough visit to a vets surgery I had ever had. I really feel like Lady is in the best hands, and despite a long journey to get to you, I have now become a Client and won’t hesitate to bring Lady back. I will be recommending you to everyone! Thank you so much to the whole Heathside team, such an amazing surgery and such an amazing team.

We've used Heathside since we moved here 13 years ago, with our cats. They are always caring and can't do enough for us and our cats. We lost our beloved boy recently, after a long illness and a Jenny and David were caring and compassionate throughout. We wouldn't go anywhere else.

We had to say goodbye to our best friend last week. Scamp was a large border collie and a beautiful animal. The love and respect given to Scamp in his final moments was far above any we had experienced when it was time to say goodbye to former well loved pets. I cannot praise them enough. I was also very moved to receive a card of condolence a week later. Thank you Heathside you made a very sad time a little more bearable.

We've registered at a few vets in the last few years as we've moved around and Heathside is by far the best we have found! They will always go above and beyond and all the team clearly have such love for all the animals, large or small! Every time we've been (which is a few with a lab that eats anything and everything!) they have always given us options and talked us through every stage of what is going on - cannot recommend them enough 🙂

Amazing staff led by an amazing vet . All my animals have had the best treatment and after care . I've been with the practice since it opened and would never go anywhere else . All the staff have been kind and compassionate to my pets over the years , as well as being supportive to me.

Have used Heathside since they opened, and wouldn't go anywhere else. Various of my cats and dogs have been treated by Jeremy and his team, with good and bad results, but due to the illnesses of the animals, rather than the treatment. For one dog with jaw cancer, Jeremy himself did his utmost to keep her comfortable for as long as possible, until the day came she had to leave us, and I swear he had tears in his eyes too x

I have not had the pleasure of taking my animal to this vets as of yet as he has been missing for 5 weeks, but this is the place I will be going should he return! The care and support I have received from these lovely people whilst my kitty has been missing has been amazing, they do not know me or my cat Yoshi, but have been so kind, caring and supportive, I can only imagine what they are like with an animal in their care, I cannot wait to take Yoshi there and meet these amazing people.THANK YOU again.
