Astonlee have been looking after my pets for over 40 years. There have been some changes since the practice was bought by CVS, but I have always found the staff to be kind and caring. Over 40 years they have been with us through sad times and good times. My current dog is very anxious especially around other dogs and the practice is always flexible about meeting his needs whether it be for a routine appointment or admission for a procedure. It’s really appreciated.

The best vet clinic I’ve ever been to! My dog had surgery here and everything went smoothly. The after-care was amazing!! The team is incredibly professional and truly cares about their patients. My dog absolutely loves the staff, which says it all.

I have been going here for nearly 2 years with my cat who sadly passed away recently , my cat suffered badly with FIC and I cannot fault the vets in there , Emma and Jane are honestly the best! And all the other ladies I visited with fudgee , Over the years of using multiple vets I can honestly say the ladies in there really go above and beyond for animals and are so helpful , even after my little man passed they've still been so great and understanding. Sadly it is really expensive and I was looking elsewhere just because I couldn't afford it with a cat with on going problems which was a shame because they were the best I've been to yet , I've always managed to get appointments same day which is fab. Honestly can't fault them , they even last minute got a gorgeous paw print printed for me with a lovely card because the crematorium wouldn't be able to , super special , Thank you everyone at AstonLee.!

My cat Polly has struggled with allergies and a skin condition, I have been to numerous vet practices to try and work out this issue and see what’s best for my Polly, this is the only vet practice that has 100% helped and supported her. Polly’s regular vet Sarina is amazing!!! She has shown pure kindness and genuine help for my girl. She is one amazing vet!!! The reception staff are all so lovely too!

We had an appointment and ended up waiting around 30 minutes before being seen. The staff were friendly, but it was frustrating to wait that long, especially with an anxious pet. I hope they can improve their scheduling or communication in the future.
