My vets are now Medivet, COVID has been ridiculously stupid, they won’t let me in at all with my dog who doesn’t like the table, then put her on the table while I’m not there to complain that my dog won’t do what they need. Also it is a different locum every time so not consistently the same person, some I don’t actually understand at all when they speak.
