I brought my dog to this vets yesterday for her yearly jab and the lady we had gave us so much helpful information for our french bulldog, when she saw her she knew exactly she was a 100% french bulldog and recommended lots of things to give her to help her alergies and told us to come back in 4 weeks for her booster jab which is absolutely perfect. This is the best and most information we have ever had since we got her. And alot of vets costs so much for these jabs which isnt neccesary for a 5 minute job to be done, but here it was the best price ive ever seen for mydog. Thank you so much for helping us cant wait to come back soon.

We have used this vets for all of our dogs for many, many years and have always had good service from caring, professional staff at both Bawtry and Gainsborough practices. They provide good advice tailored to each of our dogs and always take the time to ask questions and offer suggestions. I would recommend Raoul Dowding vets to anyone who seeks professional, knowledgeable and caring service for their pets.
