  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We have been coming to Melton Vets since 2022, despite living in Ipswich and being over an hour’s round trip away — and there’s a very good reason why. When my dog developed serious complications following her spay at another Veterinary Centre ~ Melton Vets were the emergency out-of-hours practice. I have absolutely no doubt that they saved her life. From that moment on, we knew we were in the safest hands, and we have continued to make the journey ever since. Every member of the team, from reception staff to the nurses to the vets, has been exceptional. They are consistently compassionate, professional and genuinely caring. More recently, my other dog developed a nasty infection. Claire and her team, as always, went above and beyond — not only making sure he received the treatment he needed, but also taking the time to reassure me when I really needed it. As a devoted dog owner, that kindness and reassurance means more than I can put into words. The care, dedication and compassion shown by everyone at Melton Vets is truly outstanding. We are incredibly grateful to them for everything they have done for both of our dogs. I couldn’t recommend Melton Vets highly enough. ❤️🐾

  I visited out of hours, as another reviewer said the compassion and empathy was lacking. I was emotional and felt that they didn't really care about my pet and couldn't get to say goodbye properly. It is also very expensive and has left me struggling

  We recently found ourselves in the distressing situation of coming across a badly injured female muntjac lying on a country lane. She was clearly terrified, in shock, and bleeding badly. We knew she would be at serious risk of being struck again by passing traffic, so we stopped and carefully lifted her into the back of our truck. I tried contacting the RSPCA and another veterinary practice, but as it was a Sunday, the only option offered was to drive over 40 minutes to an emergency vet. Given the muntjac’s condition, this simply did not feel fair on her. Thankfully, I came across Melton Veterinary Surgery. Our call was answered immediately by a compassionate and caring lady who asked us to bring the muntjac straight in. When we arrived, we were met by both her and the vet — two genuinely kind and professional women who clearly care deeply about animals. They told us they would do everything possible to save her and explained that, if she survived, she would be transferred to a wildlife rescue centre where she could recover before eventually being released back into the countryside. They kindly took our number and later updated us. Sadly, her injuries were too severe and the difficult decision had to be made to put her peacefully to sleep. Finding such a badly injured animal was extremely upsetting for us, but knowing she was placed into such compassionate and capable hands brought us real comfort and eased some of the sadness. I cannot recommend Melton Veterinary Surgery highly enough. The kindness, professionalism, and care they showed to a wild animal — outside normal working hours and with no obligation to do so — says everything about the practice and the people who work there. Thank you so much to everyone at Melton Vets.

  We changed to Melton Veterinary Surgery after a negative experience at another vets and could no be happier with our choice. All the vets & staff we have seen have handled our senior cat with the utmost care & professionalism and have provided advice & reassurance at all times when required. Could not speak highly enough of them.
