The BestUKVets Awards, organised by VetHelpDirect, are celebrated annually to recognise veterinary practices that excel in customer satisfaction, based entirely on the number of outstanding 4 or 5-star reviews left by their own clients online.

This year’s winners were determined from thousands of reviews gathered from practices listed on VetHelpDirect.com and Any-UK-Vet.co.uk and celebrated at the third in-person event in Putney.

The awards represent the genuine voices of pet owners from across the UK, celebrating the exceptional care and customer service provided by veterinary practices.

Owner and vet, Richard Sanderson, said:

“Seeing our team get the recognition they deserve is amazing.

“We never expected to receive such an honour, and to know that this is based on client reviews makes it all the more special for everyone involved.

“The review process has made us a closer and better team- we understand our clients, and each other, better.

“To see 1,000 clients take time to tell us how we do every day shows they love the practice as much as we do, and makes our sacrifices worth it.”
