I can't fault Galtres Vets for their service, care and skill. Over the years, we've experienced nothing but kindness, flexibility and compassion for our dogs and cat (and us!) from all of the vets and other staff. Chloe has recently supported us through a very difficult time with the utmost compassion and Ellie who came out to see us as home was incredibly patient and caring. They really are a very special team.

After bad experiences with American small animal veterinarians, my two dogs are now beginning to trust vets! I have been so impressed with the care and patience Galtres vets have shown them.

Forever Grateful for Chloe's Kindness Chloe came out to see our beloved family dog, Truffles, and her kindness, compassion, and professionalism meant the world to us during such a heartbreaking time. She went above and beyond to ensure Truffles could pass peacefully at home, surrounded by love. We’re incredibly grateful for the care and support Chloe gave—not only to Truffles but to our whole family. She made a truly painful moment feel calm and full of compassion. Thank you, Chloe, and thank you to the entire practice, for making it possible to say goodbye to Truffles in the most peaceful and loving way. We are so very thankful.
