  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.

  I have read most of the reviews but can only comment on my experience with the cvs group. Everyone needs to remember that this is a corporate company and prices will be high. As a dog owner all my life I would not let anyone that doesn’t care for animals with the compassion needed to do such a stressful job anywhere near my dog. All the staff at the cvs group across three of their practices that I have dealt with during the operation of my German shepherd Storm have been absolutely fantastic. Their compassion and empathy has been first class. Special thanks to Claire who operated, Caryl on reception at cliff lane, the reception and nurse staff at Melton for the pre op and Fran for always being on the end of the phone with total support and reassurance. You should all be proud of how you are getting storm through this operation and keeping me calm at the same time. Thank you all.

  This vet practice is not interested in the animal it is only interested in how much money it can fleece from the pet owner, they'll charge you hundreds of pounds for xrays, blood tests etc. That are not needed, Don't Use Them.

  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.
