  Not really had much to do with this vets, moved to them last year. The problem started when my my dog needed some long term medication. Initially purchased meds (Meticam) from Stowe Veterinary Group for about 30 quid. I started looking into buying the exact medication online at, which was 1/12th of the cost at about £2.50. The catch was, you need a vets prescription. I made several phone calls to the vets over a few days trying to get the cost of a prescription. I spoke to some very nice ladies on reception, who all apologised for the delay in communications. All explained that "I would have to wait for one of the partners, Roger to call me back". Four days later "Jolly Roger the pirate, who seemed like he was trying to relieve me of my hard earned pieces of eight" called me back. Jolly Roger explained to me that it would cost me 30 odd pounds for Archie's prescription, ok. So I asked for the amount of meds on the prescription to be increased. Roger the Pirate said this was going to increase the written prescription costs to over £40. I was really busy at the time and in the middle of the high st, so I said I would get back to "me hearty Rodg". I called back the vets and asked to speak to "Roger the partner" and justify the costs. Well the days went by and Roger never got back to me. In the mean time, concerned about my dog I took him to another vets in Stowmarket. They told me that Archie needed initial blood tests before starting Meticam, which Stowe Veterinary Group did not do and it could of caused kidney problems. It turns out Meticam was the wrong medication for Archie, he's been prescribed something totally different. Guess what ? Roger never did call me back, it's been three weeks now.
