Used this practice for 13 years but since the practice was taken over to a conglomerate, it’s fair to say it’s expensive and they try to give add ons ££, you see different vets, not good for continuity. Each vet has their own opinion, which is confusing and turns out even more expensive because you take all advice into consideration. Last year 2025 our dog of 14 took a turn for the worse. I read their website and it stated they did euthanasia at home .so I called to book this service. The reply was they don’t offer this service try somewhere else! NOT OH NO WE ARE SORRY to hear that your beloved pet is ill, we were just passed on to somewhere else, no compassion after 14 years of attending the practice! I complained, they reiterated they don’t do home visits. So I copied and pasted from their website their so called “ home euthanasia.” I then got an apology. Ever since I get regular notifications of “ we’ve not seen your pet for his vaccinations they are due”! In fact we received mail 20/3/26. So upsetting, even though they knew he had been euthanised. I would not recommend this vet.

There simply aren't the words to express how amazing these guys are. I won't name names because I don't want to forget anyone but just we want to say a massive thank you to the vets, the nurses, the receptionists and everyone who has cared for our fur babies over the years as if they're their own. Hopefully, this year's Vet of the Year award goes to them because they truly deserve every award going but, even if they don't win, the only thing that matters is that your pets couldn't be in safer or more caring hands when it matters the most. Thank you doesn't begin to cover it.

I cannot thank everyone at Marple Vets enough for the care, compassion, and kindness they showed during one of the hardest moments of my life. A very special thank you to Hannah the vet who treated my dog with such dignity and respect at the end of her life. Your professionalism and empathy towards my dog and myself, my partner and my two children meant more than I can put into words. I would also like to give a heartfelt thank you to Nicola, Although her shift had finished at 4 p.m., she chose to stay behind because she knew my dog and wanted to be there for us. That level of dedication and compassion is truly extraordinary. She supported us all through the most difficult day of our lives, and I will never forget her kindness, she showed us! Thank you as well to all the receptionists and the nurses on duty that day. You were all incredible, You created a calm, caring, and supportive environment, and made an incredibly painful experience as gentle and comforting as it possibly could be. From giving me a private space to wait in when it all got too much to showing my children genuine care, Thankyou so much. I will always be grateful for everything you did.

We have been with Marple Vets for years, and I cannot rate the veterinary staff more highly. They are kind, caring, and skilled at what they do. The low score reflects rising prices and the encouragement to purchase additional services. Be cautious of extra charges hidden in your bill that aren't listed on the website, such as an insurance claims fee, even when you paid the bill directly. Unfortunately, Marple Vets is no longer an independent veterinary practice and is now owned by the IVC EVIDENSIA Group, which I believe has led to a decline in service quality. I called Marple Vets at night and was directed to call Vets Now the out-of-hours service also owned by IVC Evidensia Group. My dog's condition was dealt with as one case by Vets Now & Marple Vets. I was charged £39.95 by VN & £18.95 by Marple Vets for an Insurance administration charge (Total £58.90) I paid all the bills directly & then claimed the money back from my insurance company. £58.90 is ridiculous for answering and sending to my insurance company basic information. I believe any pet owner in our situation would find this size of payment that is not covered by insurance is excessive.

I just have to say how fantastic this vet clinic is! The nurses from the reception team are super friendly and always make me feel welcome. Dr. Lenka and Grace are the best—they really care about my cats and take the time to explain everything. I couldn't ask for a better team to look after Frida and Kropka! Thank you so much ❤️

Everyone, Receptionists, Vet Nurses and the Vets are clearly kind and compassionate people. True Professionals. They always take time to listen. They explain options clearly and never hurry you if you need advice. I highly recommend this great practice.
