Having taken on an older rescue with ongoing health issues we make regular visits to the vets and we really couldn't... recommend Copthorne enough.As pet owners you often worry about whether your pet is receiving the best care and whether the vet has their best interest at heart - with Copthorne this isn't even a concern. They are such a fantastic, dedicated and professional team who provide a personal service and make us feel like friends rather than clients.I know that I can always pick up the phone and will have a same day appointment if needed, advice or emergency prescriptions, the list goes on - nothing is too much hassle and i'm constantly at ease that our boy is receiving the absolute best service and care.The staff are all incredibly friendly, Eva is our regular vet and is a complete dream with our boy, taking everything at his pace as he's a nervous dog. Richard has also been a fantastic help when Eva has been unavailable. Also a big shout out to receptionist Lauren who has such an infectious smile and is always so friendly and helpful and loves to give Benji some treats!I could go on and on about how fantastic this team are, i've had experiences with other vets in the past that are just not in the same league.A big thank you to the whole team for running such a fantastic clinic - you really are a breath of fresh air ❤read more

Copthorne Vets and Nurses have cared for Noggin throughout his life from and accident prone puppy to a happy dog who is... getting towards the end of his life. His life has been longer than it would have been as Copthorne identified that he had lymphoma before it was too late to institute effective treatment.Sue and I like everyone at Copthorne Vets but not as much as Noggin does....., he adores them and gets really excited when he knows he is going to see them. We are lucky as we never have to encourage Noggin to go to the vets... he's there dragging us in. Thanks from Sue and I and even more thanks from Nogginread more
