Amanda at the Broad St Dagenham branch is an absolute gem and you're lucky to have her! From the moment I first called asking for advice about the stray moggy in my garden she was so knowledgeable and concerned. She supported in explaining about my options and the neutering scheme for strays. She swiftly booked me in and reassured me on the day giving loads of advice and follow ups. We have ended up keeping the stray on all thanks to the support and service from Amanda. Thank you for all of your help you're an absolute credit to Goddards and they're lucky to have you!

Our first time attending Best Friends vet in Dagenham, since acquiring our new puppy. Our initial phone enquiry, to source a vet, was a positive experience - receptionist was friendly, knowledgeable and even went above and beyond to explained the road parking situation. On our first in-person visit we were warmly welcomed, by all, checkup went well and we were given leaflets to advise on Health Plans, insurance, trainers and feeding. A great little team. Thank you ☺️

Really lovely, friendly, helpful and offered me a same day appointment, rare to find with busy practices now! Came for a nail clip for my aggressive cat (who was very drugged up beforehand) and the receptionist/ nurse and vet were both so kind, would definitely recommend coming here rather than the big vet chains!
