The veterinary hospital in Swindon is rated as the best in Wiltshire

A veterinary practice in Swindon has been named the best in the county at a major awards ceremony.

BestUKVets honored Drove Veterinary Hospital with the award after the team received the most four or five star online reviews in each category.

Director of Drove Vets, Lynne Gaskarth, said: “We are absolutely delighted to receive this award.

“As an independent practice looking after Swindon’s animals for over 100 years, we love to hear that what we do is appreciated by our clients and our community.”

To select the winners, the organizers of the awards analyze more than 15,500 reviews left by pet owners on veterinary practice websites throughout the year.

Every vet practice in the UK is eligible and already registered through their listings on any-uk-vet.co.uk and VetHelpDirect.com and around half are getting involved.

The awards reflect dedication to customer service and outstanding care.

VetHelpDirect CEO Susie Samuel said: “The BestUKVets Awards were established 12 years ago to reward veterinary practices that delight their pet-owning customers.

“We are so pleased that this practice has been recognized and local pet owners should be reassured that their pets are in very safe hands.”
