I highly rate Axe Valley Vets in Weston-super-Mare. The staff are very friendly, kind & helpful. They explained what they will do on the day that our precious fur baby goes in for an operation, as well as what we will need to do. No one likes their precious fur babies, or other pets to have an operation, but when you love them unconditionally, you will do anything for them, as will the vets.

Potentially saved our cat's life! We moved over to Axe Valley Vets after not having a great experience at another local vet and they offered a home visit due to our cat's stress of car rides. At our last appointment one of the vets made it a priority to check her teeth and he stressed the importance of it. Turns out, it was the one thing that needed to be seen and the one thing no vet was able to do in the years we've had her. Axe Valley Vets immediately gave us an action plan and had her booked in for teeth cleaning within less than 10 days. We now have a more toothless cat but they let us know that her infection could have gotten much much worse and that she might have been in pain for years as no one checked or alerted this issue. We couldn't be more grateful for this team as our Sylvie cat means everything to us and they've been nothing but overly kind and attentive to her needs. 10/10 would recommend - thank you so much x

The most caring and kind assistance and advice before and during the final months of my 15 year old terrier, who started having seizures. David and Imogen were so good and patient, explaining all options and helping us to provide a few more happy months of memories before we had to say goodbye. All are such a lovely team at Wells Practice. Just met Emma with the new puppy and looking forward to the next chapter. Highly recommended. Rest in Peace Stan ❤️

The staff and vets are amazing. They are always warm and welcoming and go the extra mile to help. We recently brought our dog to see the team as he was chewing his tail. The vet listened to our concerns and talked us through several options to try should the current plan not resolve the issue. They genuinely care for their patients and unlike some other vets I have had in the past they are there for the pets and you do not feel they are just trying to sell you something . I have transferred all of my pets to the surgery now. I would definitely recommend them.
