I am writing this now that I am starting to come to terms with the painful and drawn out death of my beloved guinea pig at the hands of this veterinary surgery. I would not suggest anyone takes their exotic pet here. I took my guinea pig to ashleigh vets in Chorlton and I asked the vet more than once if it was ethical to keep my guinea pig alive considering he had lost a significant amount of weight and was not eating. I also said if he was in pain, I rather put him to sleep than have him suffer. The vet at ashleigh vets said that my guinea pig was not in any pain and if they thought he was suffering, they would suggest I put him down. After nearly a week of being in their hospital and over five hundred pounds worth of fees, my piggy was sent home with a bunch of medicines and told to return in a week’s time. I could not afford to fork out more money for the consultation after I’d already forked out all that money a few weeks before Christmas, so I phoned and told them my piggy’s condition (he wasn’t eating and had lost a lot of weight). I was told to take him in - yet another fee! We were given more medicine (another expense on top of the consultation fee) and told our piggy was ok and we would possibly get another few weeks with him. We could tell he was not well at all as at this time he had fully stopped eating yet the vet said he looked fine. Our piggy stopped moving around when he got home and died in the night! When I phoned to speak with the vet who saw him the day before, I asked her what she saw in him etc and she said he seemed happy enough in himself and was happy that he seemed well. When I told her he died, she said she was sorry and quickly hung up as if she realised she really messed up. I wish I would have never taken my beloved pet here. My little boy was devastated and this vet is to blame for this because the death was drawn out. Our piggy could have been put to sleep in a dignified way, instead he died in a lot of pain, skin and bones. A review of their practices needs to take place.

Lovely Vet who genuinely cared for both my cats wellbeing. Had a lovely bedside manner and gave vaccinations inside the cat carrier and flea and worm treatment, making it a lot less stressful for my kitties. Thank you!

Annabel Newfield

Highly recommend. Everyone is so caring at Ashleigh vets. The vet we saw, Lourdes, had all the time to explain what she could see was up with our cat, answer our questions, Our cat was relaxed through the consultation and we felt reassured and clear on what’s we what we need to do. A decent sized carpark is really helpful too.

I would like to thank Elise for the care and advice she gave me around my dogs pain. She came up with a plan to manage his joint pain and I felt reassured after she had checked him over thoroughly. Elise also answered a couple of other queries I had about my dog during the consultation. I do love to see the array of birds and animals also waiting to see the vets. This time we had the pleasure of seeing a beautiful owl and a chinchilla! Thanks to you all and it is definitely worth me travelling from Sale to your Chorlton practice.

We visited Ashleigh vets a few times and I couldn't have asked for a more welcoming, professional and very informative place. Unfortunately we had to have our cat put to sleep today, but Elisa one of the vets was really nice and comforting during this difficult time. She gave us some time to say our goodbyes and was very understanding. We couldn't have asked for anyone nicer during this difficult time. I would highly recommend this vets! Thank you Ashleigh vetinary, we appreciate all your help and support
