What pet owners say
We took our temporarily kept injured pigeon named Geraldine to Rufford Vets. Despite not being on their client list, they took Geraldine in to heal. We thank you for your kindness and sure that Geraldine is also grateful. Would recommend.

Wouldn’t ever go anywhere else. Dawn the behaviourist gave me advice that has changed a lot for my poodle Binky. She was a nervous, anxious girl and she’s made so much progress in just a couple of months from following Dawns advice. Shes so much happier in herself and she’s enjoying life a lot more. Everyone also bent over backwards to accommodate her on her spay day and took every need of hers into account to make it as stress free as possible. Thank you to Dawn and everyone else at Rufford for always putting the animals first 🫶🏻

Needed an appointment quickly as my cat George became ill quite quickly, was given an appointment that morning and within 5 minutes called me back to say there was a cancellation and did I want to come in sooner. Always friendly girls on the desk and Owen was great as he knew George's history with his bladder problems and kept him in to do blood tests and put on a drip , had a phone call about 3 hours later to tell me what they found and what they were doing and got to pick him up that evening. I have always found when I needed an emergency appointment with them that they always get him seen as so as possible.

Thank you to all the staff at the Southport branch. For all the love and care they gave my little peanut (jack Russell) in her final hours. Thank you for trying to do everything you could for her and letting me come and say goodbye🩷 I will forever be grateful and can’t fault the staff they are amazing

I would like to give 5 stars however having attended all 3 branches of Rufford Vets, I try not to use the Holly Lane office if at all possible. Parking is an absolute nightmare as the clinic is on a tiny dead end residential lane with only 4/5 spaces. Also some of the staff need to be a bit more pleasant, a smile & a greeting wouldn’t go amiss! Lovely staff in Tarleton & Southport - maybe they are just happier in their work, despite the massive pressure that they are under.
