David and all the staff here are fantastic! I wouldn’t go anywhere else now, the practice has such a lovely feel to it and we are always greeted with a smile! Both David’s have treated my pets and I genuinely believe they care about each and every one of them. They really are there for the love of animals, giving honest advice at all times. Thank you guys! ❤️ Xx

We brought our snake to Stellar Vet for a healthcheck. We were only in town for a day so on a tight schedule, but Dave was still able to give us an appointment. It was a great experience, Dave and his assistent were both very friendly and professional. And also the consult was very affordable in comparrison to large vet clinics!

This place is amazing! I feel reassured that my little cat is in safe and caring hands. The app is amazing and I am kept up to date at every turn if he has to stay in with messages, pictures and videos. Also the fact that you can book appointments for routine treatments online is so helpful. They also have different plans you can sign up to manage and maintain good pet health. I’d highly recommend this forward thinking, innovative and modern practice to anyone who wants a great service at a competitive price.

Visited with my two “elderly ladies” Jess and Willow. Willow is very reactive. David was more than helpful and couldn’t have been kinder. I’m so grateful. Had another visit yesterday. Many thanks for clipping Willows nails - I know she’s a “challenge” and I truly appreciate everything you do for my two elderlies. Thank you.

"Tyson had been a problem for some time. To be honest we, as a family, were getting to the end of our tether. It looked like we would have to give up Tyson . David was very open with us and said that Tyson's journey would be long and would require an immense amount of hard work on our part. He stressed that we had to commit and do all the exercises that he set for us. We really did not want to give up Tyson so we agreed to do what ever it took. Well three months later and yes a lot of hard work, Tyson is a new dog. We are all so happy. Thank you Dr. Dave"

Could you offer Dasher his forever home? Dasher - This friendly and affectionate cat is now looking for a kind and loving home after his owner's circumstances changed and they could no longer keep him. You can see from the photo that he's an active, long-haired cat who loves the outdoors so we're keen to find him a lovely new home as soon as possible. Aged five years, he can be nervous initially but he's friendly and affectionate once he feels secure. Dasher isn't used to young children but could live with those aged 10 years or over. He'd also be best as the only pet.

A place in the warmth for Roxy

This beautiful, mostly Siamese Seal-Point cat is looking for a child-free home with a garden, where she can be the only pet.

Born in Spain, this five-year-old cat loves to curl up near a radiator during the Winter.

During the warmer months, she loves exploring the great outdoors. A garden is essential.

Just had an email from Stuart, our bee-keeper. "David, I hope you're well. It has now been a whole year since you first adopted your hive and I have a few statistics to share with you to show just how much of an impact adopting a beehive has had. The queen in your hive has produced between 100,000 - 200,000 honey bees this year. The maximum number of honey bees in the hive this year was around 70,000 bees! The amount of flowers that were pollinated based on the amount of honey produced are around 140 million flowers! This is an incredible number and all because you helped support the adoption scheme. Your hive also contributed to creating 2 new colonies of bees. This is called splitting and the process is taking 2 frames of brood and a frame of food. They are then moved over 3 miles away so

Absolutely Fabulous!

Patsy - This friendly but independent cat loves human contact and is seeking an adult-only, caring home, where she can flourish and be herself.

Currently living with one of our lovely fosterers, Patsy is six-years-old and is lively and engaging girl who certainly loves her food!

She needs a calm and loving home, with access to the great outdoors, and cannot live with young children or other pets.

Hugo - This active, playful cat is a real character and a beautiful boy as well! Aged three years old, Hugo has made great progress with his lovely foster carers and we are now searching for someone special to provide his forever home. Hugo loves going outside - but comes home when called - and also enjoys looking out of the window, watching the world go by. A friendly, sociable cat, Hugo enjoys being stroked but will let you know when he’s had enough! We are looking for an experienced owner, or a family with children aged 16 plus. He would be best as the only pet.

Nala is a friendly cat, but doesn’t like too much fuss, and would be best as the only pet in the home.

She could also live with older children, aged 12 plus.
