Absolutely outstanding. The level of care is second to none. The staff are truly amazing. The pricing does reflect the standard of care, but some things it's easy to spend money on for our fluffs. Thank you so much for taking care of Sunny! Gracias ❤️

We were told amputation was the only option for our rescue dog Forrest’s infected hind leg - she’s a Singapore Special who flew with us from Singapore to be here, already missing part of her paw pad when we rescued her. The infection started after she stepped on something while running. After being referred to Anderson Moores Veterinary Specialists, we met Dr Catarina Pennington. She saw that Forrest was still trying to use her leg and chose compassion over the easy route. Instead of amputating, she fought to save it. Just one surgery, followed by 3 months of healing and careful repositioning of the hind leg pad - all guided with patience and expertise. Today, Forrest still has her leg and is back running around her favourite park, relearning how to use it. We are incredibly grateful, not just us, but our families back home in Singapore too. Dr Catarina’s patience, her compassion in every email and face-to-face consultations, her honesty paired with reassurance, and her willingness to try truly meant everything to us. Her compassion and dedication are simply amazing. Thank you will never feel like enough.

Exceptional. Treated warmly by every member of staff. The specialist was kind, reassuring and informative. I was back at the office 2 hours before discharge because I ran out of things to do, and when outside getting some fresh air, an hour and a half before discharge, the specialist ran outside to update me which set my mind at ease. That demonstrates an enormous amount of care. When I needed to find an Uber to get my heavily sedated dog home, I had 2 other receptionist staff trying to navigate it with me. I had a consult, joint taps, and x-rays on one day, within five hours, and I got the results of each step as soon - I left feeling informed and reassured. The only thing to highlight - which is absolutely outside of their control and not a criticism of the practice - that it is not very accessible via public transport; Poles Lane has no paths, so your choice is the hard shoulder or the mud. The bus via Winchester is rickety which is hell on dogs with bad joints! But the practice itself is absolutely wonderful and I couldn't recommend it more. My parent's dog also went there for his heart problems several years ago and are equally as positive about them.

We are so grateful to Anderson Moores Veterinary Specialists for helping to save our sighthound’s life after a horrific stick accident while chasing deer. It was an incredibly frightening time, but from the moment the accident happened, the emergency care she received from everyone was exceptional. On arrival at the practice, surgeon Kate Holroyd, along with the theatre team, acted with such skill, urgency and compassion. Their expertise meant our girl was able to see another day, and we will never forget that. The nursing team were equally wonderful during her aftercare—gentle, patient, and so kind with her as she recovered. Knowing she was in such caring hands brought us huge comfort during an overwhelming experience. We simply cannot thank the whole AMVS team enough for everything they did for her. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 🙏❤️

Highly professional and dedicated team. Always have our pets best interests at heart. Explain everything clearly and in great detail. Discuss medication options before proceeding. Very impressed with Berry Wong and Heather Smith at our latest two visits.
