Testimonials

I wanted to share with you the compassion and kindness shown to my dog Reggie by James.

James has been supporting Reggie for some time treating Corneal Users in his eye.

As a family our little Reggie means the world to us. Having James support and treat Reggie has been a complete joy.

Reggie is a 12-month Staffie who is hectic and bouncy. The patience, empathy and compassion shown to us as a family and to Reggie has been remarkable.

I wanted to ensure that I shared this with you.

I have owned dogs all my life and have met many vets, but James’s approach is very unique.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for your kindness with my dog Guinness and myself last week.

You have been absolutely amazing from the start with your communication and explaining everything to me, to the way you were with Guinness on the day.

It was so reassuring to know Guinness was in really safe hands. He has been a difficult dog with complex behavioural issues, due to his previous bad home before I rescued him, so ensuring we did not go backwards with his ongoing training was really important to us, but Guinness seems completely unphased by the whole thing!

Thank you for being so calming with him, and me! As I know I was very worried at the time. You put me at ease as soon as we spoke, and I really appreciated you informing me the details of each step of the procedure.

I absolutely love the photos and the video you let Amelia take during the operation!

We have been working with Rata for some years, allowing us to offer our clients high-quality orthopaedic work on our own premises. We have built a close working relationship with Clare and the other Rata surgeons, and have always had superb client feedback regarding the service and clinical outcomes from our clients.

Dr Peter Martin MRCVS

Practice Owner at Jurrasic Vets, Sidmouth

As a practice we have been using Rata as our preferred surgical referral service for many years and have always been 100% satisfied with them.  Having the ability of keeping our patients at the practice and being involved in their surgery and aftercare is such a valuable service for both the prcatice and more importantly the owners who value continuity of care more than anything. All of the Rata Surgeons and Nurses are friendly, and being able to access their expertise is a very valuable resource as well as being competitive with other referral options.  We highly recommend them as a referral service.

My husband and I would like to thank you so much for the treatments over the last two months, in all honesty you wouldn’t know Daisy has had double surgery on her back legs.

Special thanks to Matt and Rata for their expertise and support.

Tracy Frost

Owner of Daisy the two year-old Rottweiler treated for bilateral cruciate disease with TPLO surgery by the Rata surgeons.

I have been using the Rata service since starting at Amity Veterinary Care. Hayley and Libby are always extremely helpful in their admin roles, and Clare is a fantastic surgeon and very friendly. I love that we can continue to provide our pet guardians with a personalised service in-house, rather than having to refer to another practice. We also benefit from complimentary second opinions on all our orthopaedic xrays. I would recommend the Rata service to anyone.

Amity Vets, Newton Abbot

I wanted to take the opportunity to say a thank you for all the support and work you have provided Frank, Shelley and I. Frank is getting stronger and its great to see him so happy. He’s pottering around the house and garden every day, usually digging in the garden (where he shouldn’t be). We have however removed all known possibilities for jumping / climbing, but he’s definitely going well. It’s finally feeling like normal life for him and us too.

Whilst we still need to slowly build things, the operations you performed appear to be very successful, which being honest I had reservations we’d get even this far with Frank’s progress. I can only  respect your knowledge and capability in your field, then express my gratitude via this email. I also appreciate the guidance you have provided throughout, responding to any concerns whenever I’ve asked.

Frank's Owners, clients of Animal House Vets, Bristol. Frank had a developmental problem affecting both of his elbows and recieved surgical treatment (Dynamic Ulnar Osteotomy) to improve joint function.

I have been fortunate to work with the Rata vet team for over eight years. In that time they have helped me grow my business by bringing their expertise right into heart my practice. Our clients really appreciate the extra breath and depth that they bring be it through orthopaedic consults, lameness work-up’s or surgeries. They are so dependable, so knowledgeable, so approachable, so professional and so good at what they do. The whole of my team simply love working with them.

Veterinary Surgeons and Practice Owners at Taunton Vets4Pets

We have been using Rata’s peripatetic services for the last eight years and we just can’t recommend them enough. Their surgeons are friendly, professional and approachable. They have provided our practice with support with second opinions, orthopaedic consults and work ups as well as surgeries that otherwise we would have had to refer to external providers. Their brilliant service has allowed us to provide a more personalised service to our clients and their pets. Thank you Rata vets!
