The team at Redruth Vets are compassionate, experienced and professional and always go the extra mile. We are a small charity and the team at Redruth Vets work with us to support our patients with clinical procedures such as neutering, lump removals, stitch-ups, dentals, orthopedics and diagnostics e.g. ultrasound, xrays, blood tests, etc... They will always try to be accommodating with appointments where their diary allows and our patients receive excellent care in their hands. They are a pleasure to work with.

Caring, empathic, kind and professional. I love how much they love our animal.

We honestly couldn’t ask for a better vets practice. All three of our cats are registered here and every visit reminds us why we wouldn’t go anywhere else. Recently our youngest baby, Spencer — a Maine Coon cross and a total rascal — managed to break one of his baby teeth and had to have it removed. He went in for surgery one morning and came back happy as anything… he absolutely loved his time there! The care, kindness and reassurance we received throughout was second to none. Every single vet is friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely caring, always giving the best advice and taking time to explain everything properly. The receptionists are just as wonderful — always warm, welcoming, and making a real fuss of our fur babies, which means so much. Our other baby recently had a poorly ear and saw Mairead, who was fantastic. He clearly adored her, giving lots of love and purrs throughout the appointment — which says everything about how gentle and caring she is. We feel completely confident knowing our cats are in such safe, compassionate hands. This practice truly goes above and beyond, and in our eyes they absolutely deserve recognition as the best vets around. Highly recommended 🐾💙

Exceptional vets. Fantastic staff. We have used Redruth Vets for over 10 years after transferring from another local vets (over 10 years ago) I wouldn't take my German Shepherd anywhere else. 5*
