We recently had to take our 2 year old cat to the vets as he was really poorly. Unfortunately the diagnosis was not good. The staff at trafford veterinary centre were brilliant in getting tests done quickly, listening to us and our thoughts and giving us all the facts to make our decision. When it came time to have him put to sleep, the compassion that they showed, particularly from Grace and Kate, was second to none. We feel so lucky to have had him registered with them and that we are still registered with them with our other young cat. Thank you to everyone there!

We had to unexpectedly say goodbye to our gorgeous little Roxie on Monday, and it was one of the hardest days we’ve ever had. Ruth was absolutely amazing — so kind, gentle, and compassionate — and made an incredibly painful situation a little more bearable. The whole team were so caring and thoughtful, giving Roxie and us the dignity, respect, and time we needed. Nothing felt rushed, and we truly felt supported every step of the way. Today we received a beautiful handwritten card from the team, which meant more to us than we can put into words. It was such a touching gesture and shows just how much they genuinely care about the animals and the people who love them. We can’t thank Ruth and the entire team enough for the compassion they showed our precious Roxie and our family. We will always be grateful.

Just want to say a big thank you to Chloe. I was really nervous about bringing my kitten Kiki for her jabs today because she found her last jab very painful, which was upsetting. Chloe was absolutely amazing with Kiki. Her manner was so kind and caring and she managed to distract her and do the jab without her feeling a thing. I was so impressed and so grateful. A big relief. Thank you so much!! Xx

My dog has just had a lot of dental work at Trafford Vets, after nearly dying under anaesthetic at another vet's. I cannot thank or praise Trafford Vets enough. They were brilliant. They talked me through exactly what they were going to do and took every measure they could to make sure that my dog was OK. They rang me the minute he came round from the anaesthetic because they knew I was worried. Highly recommended.

Took my guniea Pigs here to be neautered and was so worried and stressed, every single person i spoke to or delt with was amazing!! They were kind, soft spoken and very professional. Honestly i was blown away with how great the staff were. I called 14 vets in total finding somewhere to neuter my boys. I found three in my price range but ultumutly chose this vets because of how kind and professional the receptionist was. Even sending the emals for checkups, the person responding was so sweet. Honestly its such a tough job to make every pet owner feel special and safe. I cant thank you all enough xxx I belive i spoke to Steph and Ellie. AMAZING TEAM MEMBERS. 10/10.
