I’m very pleased with Alder Vets in Spalding. My cat got bitten and developed an infected wound. They handled him with great care, cleaned the wound thoroughly, and explained everything clearly to me. They prescribed antibiotics and a cleaning solution, and managed to book us in on the same day I called. Really grateful for their kindness and professionalism!

We took Archie for a bi-annual check up. The nurse was brilliant at handling Archie explaining what she was doing as we went along, asking relevant questions to his diet, exercise etc. The practice staff were all very friendly and a pleasure to talk to, certainly recommend this veterinary practice to everyone have never had a problem with it at all.

The staff here are fantastic and very good with animals and people! I took my cats Shadow and Pumpkin in for a micro chip and castration. I was so nervous and upset as it was their first time to the vets and Shadow had been crying the whole way in the car, and they were so good with me and them! I have got them home and been given some sound advice and my boys are all healthy and good. 10 out of 10! We were recommended to you guys and I am not disappointed!

Excellent practice, look after both our elderly cat and our kitten with care and compassion. They looked after our old poorly cat with compassion on his last day. Highly recommended, vets and staff are fantastic.

Very sadly, due to the cost of a consultation rising to £45, I can longer afford to come here. This rise hits only the poorest pet owners, who will avoid going to the vet. Much better to keep it low for the sake of animals, and increase the cost of treatment and meds by say 15% to ensure you keep customers and increase the numbers of people bringing pets to you, *particularly* pensioners and people on low fixed incomes. Even though I have emergency money for vet bills, just bringing a few animals to be looked at a couple of times, will cost hundreds, even before the cost of medication. And I cannot imagine the owner of a sick guinea pig or rabbit rushing to see a vet at £45 as soon as you walk through the door. The staff are wonderful though.
