Fergus
Fergus following Perineal Surgery
“Fergus is doing so well and we cannot thank you both enough for the wonderful job you did to repair his hernia. You really took time to explain everything to us and we felt instantly, that Fergus was in safe hands. It’s hard to believe he had an operation at all as he has been so happy, energetic and comfortable. He is pooing normally and every time he does, he gets very excited and runs round wagging his tail! He is eating & sleeping well too.
Please can we also thank your wonderful nurses who cared for Fergus post op and your smiling, caring reception team! They were so lovely and really helped make us feel we were in the right place!”

We intend to move up permanently to the Lake District in a few years time and are so happy that we will have such an excellent veterinary practice as yours when we do. Everything about your practice is spot on and your Facebook page is great at showing both your care and love of animals and also the friendliness of the Oakhills team.
Alan Green
(RSPCA Westmorland Branch Trustee)
Thank you and all your staff for the fantastic help you have given our RSPCA Branch over the last 30 years. Having worked with you as a RSPCA Inspector, then after my retirement as a re-homing trustee of this branch, I have witnessed firsthand your dedication to animal welfare and your support for our Branch. We really appreciate all the work you have done over the years, above and beyond the call of duty and the financial help you have given us to treat and neuter hundreds of rescued dogs, cats and rabbits.
