We cannot thank Anna enough for the caring and professional way she put our dear Tilly to sleep. She was so very kind making the whole experience more bearable and having her come to our home felt the right way to say goodbye to our much loved Tilly. It is an amazing service and thank you Anna for your compassion. Nigel & Sue

Thursday 6th February, we said our goodbyes to our special disabled frenchie Henry. Anna made our final goodbyes, so calm, peaceful. I found Anna was so gentle, kind and compassionate throughout our final time with Henry. Henry's sister , myself and my daughter are now able to grieve our loss. 🐾 Anna sent a beautiful card with such lovely words, which was such a lovely thing to do.

I wanted to say a big thank you to Anna. We like most of you reading this had to make a tough decision about our little soldier Rambo. This was the most devastating thing we have ever done and we knew of Anna as she treated Rambo a few years and she has a gift with animals and people. She was compassionate professional and so sensitive to our anguish. We were thankful that she came to our home and our little boy went to sleep in his favourite spot. It was very dignified for our boy and we knew we were doing the right thing by our son Rambo. She spoke softly to Rambo and he was not distressed and after his sad passing Anna kept in touch and checking on us which she did not have to do. She is caring and genuinely concerned about everyone’s welfare, and a true professional. She also helped us with the cremation and we trusted her choice of pet crematorium they were very good also. I know if you are reading this nothing will prepare you for the tsunami of grief that is about to hit you and your family, but Anna understands this. This is more than a review it’s a testimonial about an individual that is at the top of her profession and above all alongside our heart. ♥️🐾♥️thank you Anna from Gary and Monika Hans Derby

Anna came to our home within an hour or so of me calling her even though it was Sunday. She was very patient, supportive & explained what was going to happen. She even dealt with taking him to the pet crematorium for us. It was one of the hardest decisions we've ever had to make after having our Barney for over 14 years bringing him home at 8 weeks old so thank you Anna for making it as quick & easy as it possibly could be

After recently adopting Winston I booked an appointment at Star vets. The appointment was mainly to confirm he had been neutered and his chip corresponded to the one I had provided on the defra form for exemption. I was very impressed with the service we received and happy to use them in the future should the occasion arise. Thank you

All the people who work at Star are so friendly and wonderful with my Lab, Bruno. He's always happy to go there, whenever we need their assistance.

This is a good vets practice. The receptionists are nice and compassionate, and the vets seem entirely professional and competent, and nice people too. All vets are pricey, this one is probably marginally cheaper than some.

From making the appointment, to checking in with the receptionist and seeing the vet everyone was very friendly and helpful. The vet made Myself and Tommy the kitten feel at ease. Tommy had lots of treats for his first consultation with his vaccines. I felt very informed about the procedure and next steps.

Such an amazing and caring vet's practice ❤️ Always treated my pets with such gentleness, kindness and professionalism whilst having time to explain treatment or other necessary options and demonstrate the best ways to administer medication to their owner. Had the very best experience of using this practice for 30 years with a range of family pets. And at all stages of their life and passing. Today's and Wednesday's visits were no exception when I needed to take my little foster bunny, Custard, for her painful tummy problems. Henry was so gentle and kind when he examined her and prescribed everything he could to help her recover on Wednesday. And Simon checked her out again today and kindly gave her all of this evening's meds with a lot more success than I've had! Explaining the best way to do so. And some good news that she's improving a bit too. Shout out for the fantastic reception team too. Always so kind and helpful and making sure that urgent appointments are available when needed. Massive thanks to everyone at Hallam Veterinary Centre Crookes and Holme Lane

Rating: 5 / 5

I really appreciate that Hallam vets are there whenever I have concerns about my pet's health. I've always been seen quickly and my pet has received excellent treatment, which has been thoroughly explained to me. The pet plan with 6-monthly check ups also gives me reassurance. Their communication with appointment reminders is very good. They were recommended to me and I would absolutely recommend them on.

Brilliant recomend for any of your pets needs. The only place that has helped my frenchie with his sickness and boas surgery. Prices are great too. Can't give them enough praise. People please go there 🥰

I decided to bring my dog to this vet practice after all the amazing reviews. The vet was absolutely wonderful with my dog and I have no complaints about her. However the receptionist was unkind and unfriendly to us. I have a big dog - almost 100 lbs and my husband couldn't join us to the appointment. She asked me to weigh my dog alone - no one came to help me or asked if I needed any help. When the reception was busy and full of cats I have asked if I could wait in a quiet room as my dog could get agitated in a new environment. She have told me to wait outside even though it was a cold rainy day. During the entire time I had no assistance, no friendly manners and I didn't feel welcomed to the practice. I have joined their plan per suggestion of the vet and again the receptionist was quite reluctant to enrol my dog, saying first she will send the information via email. I have never received any emails from the practice including my invoices which makes me think if her cold manners to me it's regarding the fact that I am an immigrant and not a local resident. Which is a shame as their practice seems lovely and the vet is really good. After my first review they changed completely with me and my dog. I can't praise them enough about taking care of my Skyla.

I honestly cannot recommend Paw Prints Vets enough—they've been absolutely incredible looking after my cat, Penny. From the very first appointment, everything was handled swiftly and professionally. They carried out all necessary tests promptly, including blood tests, a steroid injection, and an anti-emetic treatment to ease Penny's discomfort. Dr Lisa Sessions went above and beyond by calling me personally at 8 pm the very same day with Penny's blood test results, showing just how dedicated they are to providing exceptional care. Unfortunately, Penny's condition deteriorated overnight, but the wonderful receptionist Wendy was incredibly understanding and managed to squeeze us in for an emergency appointment despite a busy schedule. Penny received another round of treatments immediately, and they promptly arranged an emergency ultrasound for Monday to further investigate her condition. The entire team at Paw Prints has shown genuine compassion and care every step of the way. It's so reassuring to know that Penny is in such dedicated, capable hands. Thank you so much to everyone at Paw Prints Vets for your kindness, efficiency, and genuine love for animals.

I was recommended this vets by a friend as I wasn't happy with my old vets. The vets we've seen have been so lovely. My dog had all his teeth out and it was such a smooth process and he recovered quickly. I'm so happy with this vets, I'm even happy to drive from where I live in Oakwood!

Thank goodness for Ellie! It’s amazing to have a vet who knows and loves guinea pigs so much. Coco has only just started her treatment but I’m feeling really at ease knowing she’s under Ellie’s care and expertise. The option of her video appointments for advice is also very helpful and reasonably priced.

Rating: 5 / 5

Very kind and knowledgeable, did her best for my little piggy, but unfortunately, there was nothing more that could be done. Basically the only person in the UK who I'd trust to do conscious dental surgery on guinea pigs.

I had a Zoom appointment with Dr. Ellie. I live in the U.S. and was thrilled to be able to meet with a guinea pig expert. She was thorough, efficient, caring, very knowledgeable, and invested. It was an extremely worthwhile visit! I also appreciated the extensive follow-up notes she provided and the time she took to compile them. I wouldn’t hesitate to schedule another appointment with her in the future when needed!

So unbelievably grateful for both Ellie and the rest of the team at Derwent Valley Vets! They have been incredible in treating one of our guinea's who sadly had to have his eye removed after our previous vets showed little interest in adapting his care or changing his antibiotics despite little improvement in a month. When we came to Ellie, we were scared we were going to lose him; we knew we were close to the point of no return. Ellie and the team have absolutely given our boy his life back; even with one eye he is much more himself than we have seen him be in the last 2 months and we're so thankful. Even now, 2 weeks post surgery, we are in constant communication with the team, sending regular updates and receiving brilliant advice. I cannot praise this team enough! We travel 3 hours to see them, and will gladly do so for anything so important again because the standard of care is unbeatable. Oh, and they provided double the amount of treatment for half the price we were quoted elsewhere, so pricing is absolutely incredible value for the skills these guys have. Much love to everyone in the surgery, thanks for all you do!

I rang Katie at short notice when my 11yr old British Shorthair suddenly became very poorly....She agreed to come over the same day which is amazing... Unfortunately our Blue Boy passed away before the appointment but Katie and her staff will always be remembered at our house and we'll never use any other Vet now... Professional,Caring,and Genuine..xx

I wish I had discovered this vet for my elderly dog. It would save so much stress getting an elderly dog to the vets. Use Peak vets for routine treatment of my cat nowadays. Nice and stress free for her.

I had Katie out today to euthanize my 17 year old cat Bobby today after he became very ill. Katie came at short notice and made the whole situation manageable and made it a very peaceful end for my cat. Katie was very professional and very helpful with the sorting of everything that comes with losing a pet. From my family we thank you Katie.

Alan has cared for my nearly 9 year old chocolate lab scoobs for a few years now after a recommendation from a friend. I took him every month or so to have his anal glands expressed as he had an issue with them. Around a year ago on a routine appointment for this issue Alan noticed a lump in his anal gland and must have known that it was serious from his experience. He acted really quickly and removed the whole gland immediately and after testing it was discovered it was in fact a really aggressive form of cancer but because he caught it quickly and removed the whole gland it hadn’t spread. A year later and my scoobs has check ups every few weeks and he’s been fine but I don’t doubt that had Alan not acted so quickly and known that the lump was something serious and had it removed straight away rather than just testing it first then my scoobs probably wouldn’t be here today. Thanks so much for your quick reaction and your continued care that keeps my beloved boy healthy with the regular check ups you do. I wouldn’t trust the care of him with anyone else! Can’t recommend Alan enough x

Took our dog to the PDSA to be examined only to be told that he should put to sleep after a minimal effort so took him here for a second opinion and Alan said that he can operate and that he has at least 2 more years left in him. I would recommend Beech House Veterinary to anyone.

I simply cannot thank the vets that took great care of my dog falling an attack from an off lead dog. Start to finish we were kept up to date. I have never felt more looked after and confident in my pets care than when I brought him here, the staff and nurses are all amazing bubbly and kept us at ease through a difficult time. He's hime now recovering. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts 💕

The whole team are all very polite and helpful. Lucas had ruptured both his cruciate ligaments and has behaviour issues. I was very worried about him having to go through 2 surgeries and whether they would do surgery due to his behaviour. The vet we had Dimitris was very understanding and none-judgemental of my dogs behaviour problem and gave him the best treatment plan. He listened to my concerns and dealt with Lucas in the best way, as hands off as possible! Dimitris was always very professional and knowledgable. We’re relieved the surgeries are done and hope for a more comfortable future for Lucas. Thank you to the whole team from Sarah and Lucas!

Very friendly and helpful staff. They took my dog for a fractured bone operation on Friday night, and after the surgery finished on Saturday, both: vet and nurses, stayed in contact with me during the weekend, checking how the recovery is going and replying to all my emails. Highly recommend this Veterinary clinic!
