Caring for animals for over 80 years

The vets at Paragon are amazing. They are compassionate and knowledgeable and always think outside the box. From Border Collies to gerbils they have looked after all my pets and the service has always been amazing. Red our eldest collie at 16 has been really well looked after these past two years especially and I trust them to always do what’s right for my animals. I would never ever trust any other vets with my animals. They are the best.

I would highly recommend Paragon Veterinary Group....18th month ago when he was 1 year old, my lab had a nasty encounter with my horse & was left with a damaged eye which needed to be removed I was worried sick but the staff there kept me well informed whilst he was in there & I was allowed to visit whenever I wanted which was brilliant as I’m such a worrier (he stayed in for a few nights) he seemed to bond with a few that was looking after him while he was in there too which was lovely. He’s now doing great & it doesn’t affect him at all

I wanted to take the time again to thank the amazing Paragon team for their care, dedication, affection and efforts with my boy Alfie. Throughout his time in your care you kept me informed and updated throughout his treatment process and thank you to Ann and Sarah for the clam, painless and respectful send off. I am truly grateful and thankful to Ann for her time, communication, understanding and compassion. I cannot thank you all enough! Alfie was a credit to me and my whole family and he is well and truly missed!

5* treatment every time! Since moving to the area 2 years ago they have looked after our dog and cats and I wouldn't take them anywhere else! Whether it's routine vaccinations or illness/injury they are just fabulous. They always take the greatest care of our anxious cat and when we had to make the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye to our oldest cat they allowed us to do so with compassion and gave us all the time we needed. Our collie actually gets excited about going to the vets he loves it there so much!! Brilliant team doing a great job

I attended a clinic with my elderly border collie today for a 2nd opinion regarding a health issue. Laura and Karen were so caring and knowledgeable, they checked what was needed and were able to give me the results right there and then. They answered all my questions honestly and compassionately. Listened to my worries that in the past I feel, had simply been brushed aside and put down to my dogs old age. They put my mind at rest on so many levels and I feel they truely care about older animals having the best quality of life that is possible. I have transferred all three of my dogs care to Paragon veterinary group this evening as I was so impressed by their care, professionalism, knowledge and surgery. I highly recommend them. 5 stars from Jess & I ❤🐾

This is a brilliant veterinary practice. We were on holiday in the area with our two dogs and one of them needed a blood test for a condition she has. The vet was exceptionally professional; she exchanged the medical notes with my home vet and made sure we had the test results within 24 hrs. All other staff we encountered was friendly, professional and knowledgeable. We were made to feel very welcome. The cost was very affordable too and excellent value for money.

I was there as a contract worker but it seems like a very well run practice with friendly staff. 😊

My wife Karen and I would like to say a massive THANK YOU to Paragon Vets especially to Graham Lewis and his team, who operated on Maxy removing the lodged golf ball from Maxy’s small intestine and ultimately saving his life! Maxy received brilliant care from all staff from start to finish, and we were kept fully up to date with his prognosis and progress. Maxy has fully recovered and now has his “spring” back in his step. Fantastic news for us!
