Can't recommend this surgery enough. When I needed urgent care for my beautiful 10 & 1/2 year old Rottie, Lara, the day after Boxing Day, they fitted her in straight away. She was seen by Rosie Lane who was so caring and so understanding. She did her very best to make Lara as comfortable as possible and explained her condition very clearly to us. Unfortunately there weren't any options for Lara. Many thanks to Rosie and veterinary nurse, Amy Perrin who stayed on after she should have gone home. Highly recommend this surgery

I have been at wilbury vets after a negative experience with my local vet. Honestly they are amazing , I would never go anywhere else. My preference is rosie. What i can say is she is a wonderful veterinary surgeon and the most caring compassionate highly competent and in my opinion the best i have ever met over decades of keeping animals. Whatever your appointment is for rest assured she will give you her undivided attention and the best advice for your pet you will get anywhere. The most memorable are not always happy endings but the love kindness expertise and the pets best interests are always paramount. Dignified and incredibly peaceful and rosie is not only a vet but the most empathetic lovely beautiful inside and outside individual who is an advocate for animals and their best care. Thank you rosie for all of the above. You are simply the best xx

Wilbury vets gave my furchild the care he needed at the end of his life. I’d been misled by other vets and feared there wasn’t anything I could do to help him after several tests and a lot of money. Wilbury vets is hands down the best vets I have ever taken my pets to and I would strongly recommend to anyone who wants to receive proper, honest, kind service at a time when you really need it. Thanks again for all you did for my Gizmo 🤎

My little champ got in a dust up and was left shaken and hurt. The team did everything to calm him down and stitch him up. Even got him to wear a cone with ease for the first time. The receptionists are always great there and gave me the advice and direction to sort my pet insurance out. Was such a relief to be handled with care in such an overwhelming and upsetting situation. Thanks Wilbury Vets, Bernard 🐾

Amazing vet they really care about your individual needs and my rescue dog actually enjoys going! They took such good care of her when she had her first operation and sent regular updates and photos putting my mind at rest. Always give the best advice and trust them implicitly! Highly recommend for your fur babies

The crew at Wilbury are great! Professional and friendly. My Romanian rescue dog is not the easiest to deal with and there have been challenges with her treatment. Throughout, the doctors and supporting staff have gone the extra mile to ensure the best possible outcomes with the least amount of stress for her—and me. Highly recommend.

Peter, Anna and the team at Wilbury have been absolutely fantastic with my dog for his TPLO surgery. From start to finish I received a level of care and attention far exceeding any experience I've ever had at another vets. I couldn't be more grateful to them for their patience and reassurance and for treating my dog with the highest level of care. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

I've been attending Wilbury Vets for the past four years with my elderly cat, Orlando, and two dogs, Keeper and Riddley. The care and expertise provided by Wilbury are absolutely second to none. When I arrived in Brighton in 2021, I worried I wouldn't be able to find a vet as good as the one I had back in Birmingham. Fortunately, I found Wilbury - a proper veterinary practice headed by a registered vet rather than being part of a chain owned by a private equity firm. The difference really shows. Not only are the staff highly competent and knowledgeable, importantly, their handling skills are outstanding. In particular, one of my dogs is an ex-street dog, very highly strung and is indifferent to persuasion with food. He's been unfortunate enough to need quite a few procedures, including recent surgery on his anus, but Rosie and the nurses were so kind and just brilliant with him - he actually likes them, which is unusual for him. For me, it is this kindness and ability to handle sensitively that make all the difference. I'll also add that although some reviewers have commented on the cost of treatment, in my experience, Wilbury have always made efforts to keep the costs low, for example by combining procedures or offering a range of treatments at affordable prices. This is a huge help to me as a pensioner on a fixed income. I honestly cannot recommend Wilbury and all the staff there highly enough. The moment you step into the surgery, with its thoughtful separate waiting areas for cats and for dogs, you know you are in expert, kindly hands. I'm tremendously grateful to them for everything they have done for my dogs, who have undergone a fair amount of treatment over the years. A five-star service, without question: thank you Wilbury.

Jo at Wilbury Vets saved my puppy’s life. At 6 weeks old, our Daisy became extremely ill - open flesh wounds started to form all over her tiny body out of the blue, and on top of that, she was lethargic, had swollen eyes, ears and mouth and developed a limp. We tried vets in the area but none knew what the issue was - they all sent us away saying there’s nothing they could do. When I found Wilbury Vets, they were able to see us on the same day. Jo went over and above for our Daisy trying to establish a diagnosis (which was not straightforward at all), including contacting the Royal College of Vets for their views. After a few appointments and rounds of medication, the suspected diagnosis was an extreme case of puppy strangles / juvenile cellulitis. Even though Daisy’s chances of survival were very slim, Jo never gave up on her. After many (and long!) months of treatment, Daisy made a miraculous recovery - and it is all thanks to Jo. Daisy is almost 1 year old now, and I am still in disbelief over the fact that she is with us - and I am forever grateful to Jo, as well as the amazing ladies in reception who were so kind and helpful during that heartbreaking time. Yes, Wilbury Vets may be slightly more expensive, but the service is truly premium and there is clearly a lot more expertise than at other, perhaps cheaper, vets. If we had not come to Wilbury Vets, Daisy would truly not be here today. So, thank you to Wilbury Vets for the happiest year of our lives, filled with unconditional love, cuddles and laughter ❤️
