Stanley was really unwell and the vets were really booked. Vets still saw him on the same day. Stanley is very scared of men. Can't remember the vets name but he was really good with my boy. Vet let Stanley take the time he needed. Got down to his level and spoke to him in a soft voice. Stanley ended up letting him have a little bit of fuss. A big thank you for the time you spent with him at such a busy time

I was looking after my grandchildren who live in Bude, when my dog needed a vet. I called first thing on Bank Holiday Saturday. The receptionist, Jo, could not have been more friendly and helpful. She organised a fast appointment for us. The vet, Richard, was absolutely lovely and so thorough. He explained everything during the examination of my dog. He was sweet with my three year old grandson as well. I felt that this was an exceptionally caring practice. If I lived in Bude or near Bude, I would 100% register with these great vets.

Amazing service! Have had to visit Tamar Vets, Bude twice; this year & last year whilst on holiday for our dog. On both occasions they were friendly, helpful and very accommodating to ensure our dog was seen promptly. Receptionists are friendly and welcoming. The vets are also friendly & knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Tamar Vets, Bude so much so that this year when we needed a vet we did not hesitate in contacting them who did not disappoint & saw our dog that day 😃 Thank you Tamar Vets, Bude

The care and thoughtfulness we received when our beloved cat died 4 months ago was exceptional. Today we came in with a new cat member of the family and again the care was great, we didn’t feel rushed, all our questions were answered and above all our pet was made to feel special by all the staff we met, which I’m sure is the case for all pets. The best vets we’ve ever had.

I managed to get an emergency appointment very quickly at the Bude practice. My dog received excellent treatment and it has enabled us to continue with our holiday. Thank you Tamar Vets.
