I can not recommend the Brambles enough. 10/10 My beloved dog was diagnosed with cancer last wednesday at a different vets whom she'd been registered for years. She took a very funny turn overnight, became very unwell and sadly needed to be put down. She was always scared of going into clinic so we wished for it to be at home. Her regular vets were unable to do this. We rang around countless vets most of the receptionists said no you're not registered with us. But the wonderful receptionist Charlotte at Brambles took down all our details and said she would ask her vets and call us back. The absolutely wonderful Vet Rachel and lovely Nurse Lisa came out to our home very quickly. They gave our amazing rescue dog of 10 years the opportunity of a peaceful passing at home in our arms surrounded by love. I just can not thank you all enough for making one of the hardest and saddest days of our lives brighter. Your kindness, respect and immense knowledge were amazing and just what we needed. Thank you so much for supporting us not just on the day but wonderful aftercare also. Our beautiful girl Paris' suffering is over because of your amazing work. Thank you so much Rachel and Lisa for being with us during her last moments and making it as peaceful and painless as possible. You are angels. Thank you Brambles for being available for us! You do absolutely incredible work and when we are ready for another dog we will be registering with you. Thank you so very much from the bottom of our hearts and we look forward to working with you in the future.

Couldn't recommend The Brambles vets (Barnwood and Churchdown) more! We have spent a long time looking for a good vet and so glad we came across them, and have been using them ever since (over 8 years). The staff are always very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.

We were so lucky when we first found Brambles. We had a beautiful rescue cat Muffin who we loved to bits. The staff and the vets are absolutely caring, helpful and are just super. I said Muffin who we loved because Muffin ended up with mouth cancer and the care and understanding which the Vets give to us and especially Neil was unbelievable. It broke our hearts when we finally made the decision to give Muffin her wings after trying everything to save her. Steve and I cannot thank Brambles enough both Barnwood and Churchdown because we went to both places. They are excellent. We now have another rescue cat and we take her to Brambles. We wouldn't go anywhere else. Their understanding, tenderness, caring we so much appreciate. All I can say if anyone is looking for a Veterinarian Brambles I highly recommend. I have included a picture of Muffin ( pic1) and our new misses Thea (who are very similar). Thank you so much Brambles Staff and Vets. Mr & Mrs Gribble
