Report
My first visit to the Wilton branch on Friday with my cat could not have been more helpful and informative. Lovely, caring vet who had the Midas touch with my cat with the worner and clipping her nails. Friendly and helpful on reception too, altogether a great experience. i would definitely recommend Avon Lodge Vets!
