Needed to take my elderly dog into the vets two weeks ago as he was having breathing problems. We didn't have an appointment but entered the waiting room first thing. Without hesitation the receptionist organised for us to see Jake. Sadly we needed to say our last goodbye to Ben. During this very difficult time myself and my family felt like the only important customer there that day, we had as much time as we needed with Ben, nothing was too much for the staff there. Thank you

Find it bizarre that they will only issue a prescription for one months supply of medication that my dog needs for an ongoing issue, I was told to email the practice to query why, but can’t see an email attached to the website. Now they’re telling me that my dog needs a 6 monthly check-up because they’ve changed their ‘rules’, at £21 a month for a prescription and now a vet consultation every 6 months I’m beginning to think they are just out for the money !! Sadly I’ll be changing vets.

They have cared for our dogs for over 16 years giving us and them the best of care and advice and when the time came to say good bye to our beautiful Misty fur baby, Charlotte could not have done more for her and us to make it bearable. The arrangements after were compassionate and caring too. Cannot fault any vet, nurse or receptionist here and would recommend them highly.

Consistently excellent care for our dogs. Very caring and knowledgeable, wouldn't go anywhere else. Thank you Jake, Mark, Heidi, and the whole team.

DO NOT TRUST this practice with your beloved pets. They misdiagnosed our dog as having a bad back for almost a month and continued to assure us he just needed to rest along with painkillers. They didn’t do any scans or blood tests even after multiple phone calls and seeing two different vets at the same practice.

His symptoms continued for weeks but we were still assured it was only a bad back. We showed the vets videos of his condition

We ended up calling another vets who seemed extremely worried after explaining the same symptoms wanted to see him ASAP. They put him straight onto stronger painkillers, did scans and blood tests. We were told they’d found a huge tumour approximately 12x8cm in his abdomen. This was a huge shock to us, He was put to Sleep after being told for a month he just had a bad back and needed rest. Our dog was only 6 years old, our previous lurcher lived to 14.

We are still struggling to come to terms with this situation a month after his passing.

Woods vets sent a summary of their findings to Severnside. We sent two letters and have only just had a response. Unfortunately from their response it seems Severnside have taken no responsibility for the mistakes and misdiagnosis they have made. In their letter back they’re even boasting about how the have a waiting list for new clients.

It appears they do not wish to use our unfortunately situation to learn from their mistakes.

I will be warning everyone I know not to use Severnside and will never use them again. We will also be taking this further.

I have been with this practise for 12 years and have nothing but praise for how they have always treated my animals. Mark Hinds has been amazing with my dog this month, he has stayed with her until late at night and has done everything possible to make sure she is comfortable. For anyone that wants there animals looked after you won’t find a better vets than this one.

A lovely little rip-off merchant. Spend your hard-earned money here as the daylight robbers pull on your heartstrings and charge you a small mortgage for your animal's care...presumably to fund the owner's BMW with their 'GLO5 VET' personalised numberplate 🙂

Absolutely brilliant service! We spoke with a herbalist vet who was very knowledgeable and also gave us many pointers on our dogs early stage arthritis and subsequent management of the condition.
Following her advice weve already seen an improvement. Best vets in the Forest of Dean.
