Pilgrims is a lot more than I expected from a vet in a village this small. They have helped me with everything from ear infections to tumors to euthanising and cremating my best friend when his kidneys failed. We brought two dogs with us from the States three years ago, and the vets at Pilgrims helped us get EU passports for them to travel to France. They taught me the differences in worming between countries, and they have kept up the regular thyroid treatment for my girl dog. They do all of this with the compassion and personal attention I wish I could find in a human doctor. I would whole-heartedly recommend them to anyone for their quality of care and the customer service with which they deliver it. Thank you to everyone from the vets to the front desk to the nursing staff. You are fantastic!

My lurcher Blue had a nasty branch puncture in his chest late on Friday, I spoke with James who suggested we keep an eye on it and bring him in on the Monday if necessary. Unfortunately the wound was worse than it first appeared, and after speaking with James on Sunday I got the dog over to their Fordingbridge surgery that afternoon. He was sedated, irrigated and stitched within an hour, and despite the dog feeling more than a little sorry for himself post procedurally I cannot fault the service and attention James gave us ... Top marks from us both!

Amazing vets! Moved away from the local area but never thought about changing to a closer practice. Their prices are very reasonable and their staff are lovely. Go above and beyond to help and to make me and my pets feel comfortable. They treat my animals as their own. Highly recommended.

We have been taking our pets to Pilgrims for 11 years, they have been brilliant, caring, honest and kind. Having lost 2 dogs too old age, I can't praise enough the care they received from pilgrims over their life.

All of the above! We have been using pilgrims for around 6 years now, with 4 working dogs, a good vet is essential. In those years we have always been looked after and accommodated, and never felt like we've been ripped off and the vets are extremely knowledgeable. The out of hours service is run by their own vets not a money grabbing 3rd party, so you get honest and professional information on the phone before needing to attend. 3 times over those 6 years we have phoned with what we thought was an emergency and have been helped over the phone or emailed photos for assessment before needing to attend to avoid unnecessary emergency visits and the associated costs. Very impressed and we won't go anywhere else.

We cannot recommend Pilgrims enough. From the first to the unfortunate last time taking our beloved dog to be seen by them, they showed great compassion, empathy and professionalism. We feel very lucky that he got to spend his last moments in their care. Thank you to James , Sarah all the team.

Brilliant team who give 5 star care to all animals. Over the years they have given the greatest care to many of my animal friends including dogs, cats, horses, poultry, pigs and ferrets. Saara (equine vet) has an amazing way with horses and I cannot reccomend her highly enough. James (vet) has a lovely, understanding manner with the animals and their owners. Recommend Pilgrims 100%

Thank you to Helen and Rachel for being so wonderful when I had to say goodbye to my beautiful girl Amber yesterday, my 13 year old Springer Spaniel. It was absolutely heartbreaking, but it was her time, and they made it bearable for me. Thank you, and to the whole team who cared for her from day 1.

I just say a huge thank you to
Saara who has done a wonderful job of putting up with Glory and I.

Saara has been brilliant. I really can’t thank her enough. Glory isn’t the easiest of ponies (anxious, dramatic and typically Welsh!) and Saara has been wonderful with her.

I would usually get really stressed about a vet having to come out (especially multiple visits for wound care) because Glory gets nervous and can be pretty wild. But it’s been nothing like that with Saara, on the contrary we will really miss her visits when she doesn’t need to come out anymore.

She has such a way with horses... and indeed owners. She’s been so understanding of the lack of facilities I have. We don’t have stables and Glory certainly wouldn’t stay in a pen. Saara hasn’t once made me feel bad about this despite this making it harder for her to treat Glory’s leg. She’s been so understanding and that has taken the pressure and worry off of me. I can’t thank her enough for that.

Glory would also like to say a special thank you for the polos Saara gives her. We have never had this from a vet before and it’s such a lovely touch.

Ps... her bandaging skills are second to none!! I don’t know how she does it but not once did a bandage slip or come undone! Despite Glory being a feral little beast roaming around the field when she should be on box-rest!

We don’t want to embarrass Saara but would love everyone to know how grateful we are for her work.

Amy & Glory.

Always very helpful vets, nursing staff, and reception staff.
Very understanding and kind, and nothing is ever too small. I’ve been with pilgrims since they opened in Cranborne, and highly recommend the team.
They’re all awesome!
Thank you for all your help over the years 😊

we recently stayed at sandyballs holiday park just down the road from the practice.
Our dog injured himself & we where able to go right away to have him checked out.

The team I met where fantastic & Tommy was looked at & cleaned up for a small fee.

Thanks very much .
Our 3rd child was very lucky as the harness prevented the barbered wire from doing more serious damage .

I have been with Pilgrims for 6 years now and they have always been caring, knowledgeable and so friendly from the receptionists, nurses and vets. My latest interaction with them was when my dog was attacked by another much larger dog and he sustained some serious injury. I rushed him to Blissford and the team leapt Into action, first supporting my very shocked dog and then me. Their kindness to both of us will not be forgotten. Dennis is still recovering but I feel confident that Pilgrims have done their very best for him. Special thanks to Rachel, Sophie, Nickie (vet), Nickie (nurse) and James.

James has come to the rescue again for me
Giving me the reassurance I needed and with his expert medical care and knowledge my Tilly ( Jack Russel )is on the road to recovery after getting accidentally trampled by my rather large Lab
Thank you James
And thank you to everyone else from the emergency phone call late Saturday to the speedy receptionist with the quick and easy booking for her treatment .

Visited the Cranborne practice, with my unfortunately very unwell duck. I couldn't fault the professionalism shown by the vet who was also very knowledgeable on the subject at hand. I was very impressed considering a duck isn't your typical everyday patient. Thank you so much for your assistance today.
