After visiting today we will not be returning thought it was bad enoughduring covid arriving with a puppy for the... first time and they couldn't see that the experience was stressful enough for the dog without placing a muzzle on because they obviously have no interaction skills. But returned today made an appointment for first thing kept waiting outside because still not allowed in only to be told that the anticipated cost has trebled from before covid. And the classic charging consultation for the same complaint because the medication they have suggested didn't work or the course wasn't long enough.read more

After visiting this vets today I will be registering my dog at another practice...after taking my 1 year old black lab... for his vaccination this evening the service was absolutely shocking, whilst waiting to go into the appointment sitting outside the practice I was given multiple dirty looks off 2 younger female staff members and a vet due to my dog being reactive when in environments like this which results in him barking at people walking past, a smile goes a long way... when we were eventually called in for our appointment the vet tried to offer Tanner a treat which after a very small amount of effort to try and make him feel comfortable went straight onto the idea to just put a muzzle on him... no effort at all which resulted in him thinking throwing a muzzle on a scared 1 year old dog would be the best solution... after seeing my dog in such distress I decided I did not want the vaccination to be done today nor did I even want to return there again, we have used this vets since moving to the area 2 years ago but is not the same with new staff members vets ect.read more

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

Little Flora giving us her best smile 😍 ![]()
![]()
She came in today for a post op check after visiting us on Tuesday for a laparoscopic bitch spay with the help of visiting vet Rob from MSM vets. ![]()
![]()
This uses cameras and specialised equipment to remove the ovaries through two tiny holes in her abdomen, rather than having to open her up completely as we traditionally do. ![]()
![]()
Due to the specialist skills and equipment needed, this is more expensive than a traditional spay but is much less invasive and the best news for Flora is that she is all signed off to go back to bouncing around after just 3 days rest!![]()
![]()
If this is something you might be interested in for your female dog, do give us a call or an email to chat to one of our lovely nurses.![]()

Happy Friday Flora! 💙![]()
