What pet owners say
Our regular vets use Swift for their out of hours service. It’s never a place you want to need, but when you do, you’re so grateful it’s there. Our most recent visit was just a few days ago when our dog Margot managed to get hold of some dark chocolate. As soon as we arrived, she was taken straight through, no waiting around. The vet came out and clearly explained her clinical presentation, what that meant for her, and the treatments she would need. They picked up on the subtle signs that her body was struggling - signs that could so easily have been missed. These were the beginnings of what could have developed into full blown seizures and cardiac issues, but thanks to their quick thinking and the right medications, she was stabilised. It meant a lot that we were met with such clarity and brutal honestly - we were never kept in the dark about her condition. We left feeling reassured, knowing Margot was in safe hands and would be closely monitored through the night in ICU. Thanks to their quick actions, she made it through the night and is now back home. Thank you to Becky for being so conscious of how worrying it all was for us. As I said, an out of hours emergency vet is never somewhere you want to end up - but when you do, you couldn’t ask for better care. Thank you, Swift. xx

From the moment we were referred and that initial visit Swift referrals have been the shining light in a very dark chapter. Each lovely welcoming smiling member of this team listen to you, understand your worries, respect your wishes and truly treat your pet as their own . So so many little extra touches. Phone calls always answered, emails responded to so promptly . Options made clear and without pressure . Our lovely greyhound Bumble was referred with suspected osteosarcoma on a bank holiday weekend but it was business as usual at swifts . Every appointment he is welcomed and remembered with genuine affection and owners get so much support too. We are now starting the chemo stage of his recovery. Please don’t think twice about using this wonderful referral service. They will do the very best for both you and your much loved pet. I honestly can’t recommend them highly enough .

We were referred to Swift when our beloved Bernese Mountain dog Albert became unwell a few months ago. Over the period of a few days he was refusing food and just seemed very lethargic and not himself. We met with Rory who went through the blood results that we had done at our own vets and told us what possible outcomes we could be facing. From the minute we met him we felt very reassured that Albert was in good hands. He explained clearly what tests and investigations needed to be carried out to diagnose what was going on. To everyone’s shock he had a severe lung worm infection, despite being up to date with his worming tablets. He was also suffering from severe parasitic pneumonia. He didn’t show any signs of either of these conditions. It was only after a CT scan that we were given the news. We were relieved to know that it was something that could be treated but we weren’t quite prepared for how poorly Albert became over the next few weeks. In total, he spent almost a month at the animal hospital. The care he received from all the staff at Swift was second to none. We can’t thank them enough for taking care of him. Nothing was ever too much trouble. We were given a daily progress report. At times the calls were upsetting but we knew they were doing everything they could to get our boy home. Further tests showed that Albert had contracted neospora which cause huge muscle loss and he had to have help from the team in learning to walk again. After a long course of antiobiotics he seems to have recovered very well. Even after he was discharged we have been able to keep in touch and they have been very supportive if we’ve had any concerns or questions about his progress. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this place to anyone who has a poorly pet. They will do everything that can to get your pet back home with you. Safe and well. Thank you to all the team at Swift Referrals. You’re all amazing

The team at Swift Referrals were incredibly in helping get our little guy Ollie back to recovery. We brought him in out of hours and they were able to quickly take him in, diagnose him and put him on a course of treatment for his recovery. They kept us informed everyday on his progress and were so compassionate and helpful in answering our questions. Truly experts in what they do. Your pets are in the best hands with them.
