Dr Chris Ayers is a consummate professional. His love and respect of animals is apparent on first meeting. No animal likes the vet and my cat makes this well known. However Dr Ayers, handles my cat with ease and there is no awkwardness whatsoever in his handling of my cat. His knowledge is thorough and he doesn't try to onsell all their products or preach to you about how i should have my cat permanently locked inside and only feed him particular foods, like i have experienced at some other veterinary surgeries. He does however offer informed advice. I moved away from the area 20+ years ago and have tried other vets closer to home, however in the end i am yet to find an equivalent so prefer to drive the extra 30kms to visit Dr Ayers. I would highly recommend this Veterinary Surgery to anyone wanting professional,value for money, and a practical, caring vet.
