 Verified I'm really surprised by the bad reviews! When I relocated to the area, they were recommended and I've had stellar treatment. My fur babies have had excellent care from dedicated, caring employees. My fur babies are older and need patience and they get it in spades. I've boarded there and the facility is beautiful. My experience with the clinic has been great. And they were very, very compassionate when I had to put down a pet. They are wonderful!!!

 Verified As a new pup parent, you always try to be extra cautious and concerned. While trimming our pup's nails, he moved suddenly and caused my wife to clip too much, making him bleed. Of course, panic set in and she didn't know what to do. With blood everywhere, fear in her mind and me at work unable to help, my wife called Winchester Veterinary Clinic. They calmed her down and talked her through a home remedy. They let her know if that didn't work to call right back in. Having never experienced this before, my wife was unable to stop the bleeding and called right back. The staff was quick to invite her come in so they could take care of him. My wife took our pup right over with his poor little bleeding paw wrapped in a paper towel. Once she entered, they quickly grabbed him and took him to the doctor. A few minutes later, our happy pup came out with no more blood gushing from his toe. They were able to pack his nail with some cauterizing powder to stop the bleeding. They were even kind enough to send extra home for us, just in case. To top it off, they went ahead and trimmed the rest of his nails so my wife didn't have to be traumatized again. Needless to say, big or small, scary or not, trust this Vet. They made us feel so much better and took care of our fur baby with such swift ease.

 Verified Cannot day enough good things about the clinic or staff, if they cannot do the job they will tell who can. They will not do a job that may be a danger to the animal because of their capabilities at that particular time. If they were GP's I would have them for my doctor. My hat goes off to them for their voulenter work as well.
