A few words from our clients

Paws In The City, London

Since partnering with Precise VetPro, our revenue has increased by 33%. Their professionalism and easy referral process have made our workflow more efficient and enhanced reputation and client satisfaction. We highly recommend Precise VetPro to any vet practice looking to grow and improve their bottom line.

Ryder-Davies & Partners
Ipswich, UK

We began working with Precise VetPro in early 2024. We are very happy with the quality of the surgical work and the good recoveries with minimal complications. Ibra had a great integration into our team. Performing these procedures in-house has significantly improved our service and increased our revenue. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Precise VetPro.

Mandy Sommacal
Co-owner and Vet Surgeon Vets4Pets Southend Airport, Southend on Sea

We have started working with Precise VetPro very recently, after having contacted Ibra regarding a TPLO surgery that our client wanted performed in-house. All the team has been very pleased with his professionalism, organisation and clinical outcome. Since then the collaboration has been continuous in order to provide the best service to our clients – we had 3 orthopaedic procedures and one TECA performed in house in less than a week! We recommend this service because we have seen an increase in clients' satisfaction with their pets receiving referral treatment at their normal vets, gratification for the team involved in more interesting cases and, least but not last, a spike in our monthly revenue.
