GBLocal vets oldbury Local vets oldbury Wouldn’t even send my pet goldfish there. Staff are rude including the owners. My dog was scanned for 5 puppies on day 44 - at this point they can’t be absorbed. Left my dog there for her c-section at 5:55pm we had to leave as was out of hours to come back and be told she only had 2 pups. None were dead and there was no sacs inside her. I was then allowed to watch the cctv the following day but was told if I watch it I can not return for any other treatment - absolutely fine because I wasn’t going to anyway. When I waited for 20 minutes to see the CCTV I could only see from 7:15pm-7:45pm but was told this is a 2 and a half hour procedure. When I asked consistently how long does it take to sedate them I was ignored every single time. The owners of this place have their own bulldogs which is why they would keep puppies and KC register them off their own dogs. I strongly believe all the staff are also in on this. Will never be returning again!!!

GBDO NOT USE THESE VETS!!!! DO NOT USE THESE VETS!!!!! Issue one: Vet would only write a prescription for one month’s supply of medication, despite my dog being on this medication for years! Which meant I then needed to order 3 prescriptions after only one month!!! Issue two: Unbeknown to me when I collected the prescriptions on Saturday he had only validated the prescriptions for one month which meant me having to pay the full three months supply of medication x 3 in one go, rather than validating it for the minimum of three months (some vets validate them for six months) in order for the online supplier to send these out in 3 monthly instalments. I rang the surgery to speak to someone about getting the prescription expiry date extended as the amount of money to pay in one go was unachievable for me, but the vet flatly refused!!!! This has demonstrated Local Vet’s motivation of misleading pet owners into thinking you are providing a good value service and that you care about the animals that you see, but in truth its just about how much money you can get out of people! You really should be ashamed of yourselves, especially in these unprecedented time of price increases, but I guess you have taken full advantage of this ! If I had the facility to give 0 star I would!

GBOutstanding service. LocalVets.com has always kept us at the top of the internet search page and as a result - the phone ringing. Then, on the back side, the ability to listen to our incoming client calls for protocol and to get a feel of how clients react to our hospital is invaluable,

GBExtortion This company basically tries to buy up all the veterinarian search real estate on the web and sell it back to vets. By being the top listing on the page, someone already aware of your clinic and looking for your phone number ends up finding it on their service and you get charged $50. Most of the calls you get are for current customers and they charge you for the call when long time clients make appointments. If a current client gives a referral to a friend and they find your phone number on veterinarians.com, they charge you the $50 finders fee even though they are not responsible for the referral. You can get some of the charges reversed, but if you don't monitor it closely you will pay a lot of money for current customers calling their tracking number by accident. They are owned by a group that will monitor your presence on the web - so you pay the parent to compete with the subsidiary you are already paying - not a very ethical business model. They also advertise their tracking number on other sites and effectively compete with your free or paid listings on those sites.
