The Best Veterinary Cares in Astley, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom (2025)

Made the decision to switch to this veterinary practice after a disappointing experience else where. From phone call to appointment everything was handled professionally, the reception staff were so welcoming and the clinic itself is clean and spacious. The vet was gentle towards Reggie and understood his needs as a sassy little character, she recommended some medications for our concerns and explained everything thoroughly. I’m so glad I made this choice and would recommend this practice based on efficiency, friendliness and affordability. Thanks again!

I recently visited Medivet Tyldesley for my dog Rosie's booster vaccinations. We arrived about 10 minutes early and were seen almost immediately. The practice was spotless, and the nurse was incredibly friendly and informative. The reception team were also very welcoming, making the whole experience smooth and pleasant.

Incredible vets, my cat has needed its blood pressure checking but it’s been very high in the clinic due to stress. They offered to come to our house and take the blood pressure to get a proper reading! They are always lovely to talk to and nothing is a bother. By far the best vets I’ve ever had!

I brought my cat in earlier this year as noticed she was walking with a strange gait and drinking more water. Very quickly into the initial consultation the vet suspected diabetes, which came as a major surprise to me as all through her life my cat has had a relatively consistent and suitable diet. After initial blood & urine tests, diabetes was confirmed. This was an immensely stressful tome for me and Marilyn as her treatment plan required daily insulin injections and a prescribed diet. Learning the ropes with the medication and the required equipment, the knowledge required to treat a pet with this condition was overwhelming and this practice collectively helped me with that process from the start. Unfortunately, Marilyn very quickly went from tolerating her new treatment plan, to despising it, to the point where she would hide herself in the house to avoid injections, she was miserable and fretful, a combination due to both her illness, and the enormous change to her lifestyle especially surrounding my trustworthiness (I had become the mean woman with the needle!) Eventually it became unbearable for us both and I was in tears at home wanting to do what was right for my animal but without her being depressed and afraid. I said the same to the vets who suggested an alternate treatment that was quite new, high risk and not guaranteed to be effective for Marilyn. At this point i’d have tried anything so we did. Fast forward today, I have a very content cat who has returned to herself and managed to reverse the nerve damage to her legs. She’s purring most days and we’re back to being best friends. I was wholly not equipped to deal with her illness and it was a tough road travelled, but Tyldesley Vets have been absolutely fantastic in helping me from the very beginning. Never underestimate the stress of a poorly pet, and to find a vet who do that little bit more to help has been the silver lining needed! Thanks to everyone there - girls on the front desk are also amazing!

Our beautiful Alira was neutered and they took good care of her. Alira is doing/healing well. Thank you Atherton💙

My pug had an issue with mites, he was a ratching himself till he bled constantly, within 10 mins she told me what mite he has showed me a photo under the microscope of the pest, within 4 weeks his fur has all grown back no more scratching, absolutely delighted, before and after photos below. Thank you so much for helping him!

Quick and friendly service. First time visit for vaccination of cat. Cost seemed reasonable for vet treatment. Just been to get cat tested following issues with health. Excellent treatment.

Gave my dog Pippa an emergency appt, when my local vet wouldn't, kept her in the same day and operated on her. Can't praise them enough, Vet was lovely, friendly and helpful, nurses very pleasant and helpful 10/10. Thank you vets for pets Walkden.

Everyone from reception staff to veterinary staff were friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Treated my cat like he was one of their own. Very impressed and pleased with the service received. Signed up to the complete healthcare plan so no need to pay for vaccinations today as covered by the plan

Had to post a review after our 19 year old Jack Russell Chip came to end of life today. Our regular vet was closed due to it being a Sunday. The young lady on the phone was lovely and managed to fit us in as I wasn’t happy with the emergency vets our regular vets use. The young lady was just as lovely when we came in as was the vet and all the staff. They even wavered the consultation fee as it wasn’t our regular vet. Very compassionate staff. Top marks. X

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! As somebody who is a new cat owner, I had an emergency with my Cat! He wasn’t under any vets and this was the first vets I called!!! The lady who answered was so kind and patient with my tears and very understanding and considerate! The night receptionist (30/09/2024) at 11pm was absolutely lovely!!! She assured me when other animals would be in the practice so I could keep my cat, Mike, settled! And when he got unsettled due to his pain and a stress she went and got the Vet! Lloyd was so gentle and kind with Mike, he assured me of his condition and helped keep costs low for his treatment which I appreciated as I am University Student! I was very concerned about Mike so when I called the receptionist was so kind on the phone and lovely! I spoke to Lloyd and he assured me of Mikes condition and gave me reassurance! I got a call at 8am to say he was ready to collect as he had improved massively!! When I went to collect him at 9:40am (1/10/24) the two receptionists were absolutely AMAZING! They were so lovely and exceptional, I cannot express my gratitude for the staff enough! The vet then handed me Mike and informed me of his medication!! I took him to the car as he was a bit unsettled whilst my boyfriend paid, the treatment was very well priced and I am happy with how he has come home, the payment process was simple and efficient! He is back to his usual self and so much better!!! And I am also adding that he had two bits of Matt on his tail that I had tried to cut multiple times but I was frightened of hurting him, well they did that for me!! I am now proud to say this is my registered vets! Thank you so much to the lovely receptionists who reassured my anxiety and the lovely Veterinarians and Nurses who looked after my Mike!

Highly Recommended..... First class veterinary service and available 24hrs a day, every day should you need them. The practice itself is immaculate and spacious and staff very helpful. The vets themselves explain exactly whats happening with your pet and they really are very cost effective which for a private vet nowadays, is not often said. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Brought my cat in after a dog attack. The staff were so lovely and looked after Preston throughout the night. Sadly, he didn't make it. Went to pick him up the next day and again, they were lovely. Then even written us a heart felt card complete with fur and pawprints. Excellent, professional service

I would like to thank all the people who helped my beautiful betsy get her wings its 3 moths since she passed over the rainbow and it still hurts but the ladies were absolutley brilliant with her and passed away with dignity also they were very very helpful with the after care so thanks ladies a credit to your job from andy and betsy xx

My 11 year old JR Finn has received excellent care. 4 stars is only because we tend to see a different vet every time. I'm quite keen on continuity of care.

Called into the vets with my dog very worried I was welcomed with a smile. Didnt wait long and was brought through by the vet who straight away made me feel at ease and loose my fear. She handled my baby with care and treated her and fingers crossed it’s like a miracle has happened. Thank you so much highly recommend fantastic vets.

Lovely staff very friendly.... vet was compassionate about my kitty and and time to explain everything and practice was lovely and clean

We brought our moggy Kimi in on Monday, for what we knew was to be a final visit. She was 20.5 years old and had been on a downward path in the recent years / months. The last few weeks were looking bleaker and over the weekend she deteriorated very quickly until she didn’t want to do anything and seemed to be in pain. On arrival we were looked after by Pola and Katie who realised the situation very quickly and were so kind and considerate to us. They said they would organise a canular to be inserted so they could administer the required injection, but Kimi passed away before they could. I guess the upheaval of the ‘trip to the vets’ (which she always hated, in her youth) and everything was just to much and she couldn’t hang on any longer. We were given some ‘clippings’ of Kimi’s fur etc in a little glass vile, to keep as a remembrance and we said we wanted to take her home to be buried in our garden, along with her mum and son. My wife went to the desk to pay for the visit, but was told there would be no charge. Although this is not a ‘money thing’ we found this to be over and above what we might expect and a lovely gesture. We left with Kimi wrapped in a towel and were finally given a condolence card, signed ‘all our love, Yew Tree Vets’, which again was such a nice thing for you to have done. We have used your surgery for all 3 of our cats over a number of years and have always been very happy with the service we have received, but yesterday’s visit left us feeling so heart warmed that you all can care so much for pets and owners alike. Thanks for all your efforts over the years.

Staff were lovely, vet was kind and helpful, price was reasonable; can't ask for more. Best of all my poor cat who had fleas is on the mend, only a few days after taking the pill and cleansing the flat. Can't be happier!

I am so pleased with every part of service and care from Yew Tree Vets. Having only ever been in and out for immunisations in the past, i have just endured frequent visits over the past 9 weeks receiving treatment for an ocular tear with my dog Louie. Me and louie received excellent care and advice. They were also lenient and supportive when i was worried about deterioration finding me a same day appointment and were very empathetic. I would absolutely recommend this vets to anyone! See pictures for Louies healthy recovery ❤️‍🩹

Fantastic experience here today. reception staff is lovely and friendly. Was seen quickly. Everything was straightforward! Vet was very nice and good with our puppy.

Genuinely lovely people. Have done an amazing job with my very poorly puppy, despite her biting everyone in the world! She's doing amazingly now. She thinks she's a total celebrity when we go to the vet.

My first cat had to be taken here. Cj when I went into hospital... Am not able to look after her am so sorry. Thay are putting her up for adoption, I could of got her back but am not able to look after cj. She can play out 🐱😁 when she gets a new home and thay have given her her first needles. Thank you.

Amazing work these people do. I would have been lost without the rspca at times!! Being a person who has rescue dogs it's nice to know there's somewhere to take my dogs that have been given that second chance to somewhere that offers the support and medical attention they need at a very affordable price 😀 great work people and a massive thank you from me and my pooches xx 😊

I was very happy with the attention my cat received and pleasantly surprised at the cost. I am happy to refer the hospital to friends and family.

Had to take my fur baby less than a week ago to be told my baby's has cancer and it was touch and go of she would survive but the wonderful vets here saved her life and she recovering so well I can't thank you all enough you are my hero's ❤️

PetMedics have been amazing ever since our cat had been referred for her skin issues and allergies. The staff are so lovely and really do care. Pixie is now on allergy medication but is still under review for steroids but her skin and her quality of life has improved so much already and we have her lovely vet Silvana to thank for this.🩷 You are amazing thanks for all your hard work x

My spaniel had to be admitted for a couple of days as he had just been diagnosed with diabetes and was very poorly. All the staff were very professional and I was kept upto date with the situation very well. At discharge, the nurse spent time talking us through everything and teaching us how to administer injections. I cannot thank all the staff enough for the care they gave to Woody. He is now in a much better place than when he was admitted. Here he is with his sister keeping an eye on his progress 🐾🐾

my cat passed away and was brought to pet medics by a member of the public, when i arrived to see if it was my cat all the staff were lovely, kind, and considerate. they took the time to make sure it was my cat, and talked me through different options i had with what i wanted to do next with him, at no point did i feel unsure about what i had to do, and every member of staff was really kind to him and looked after him as if he was one of their own cats. they gave me as much time as i needed with him in their farewell room and didn’t pressure me to leave and let me have as much time as possible. A few days later they sent me a condolence card with my cats paw prints inside which i appreciate so much. also saw members of staff interacting with other customers and answering any questions they had regarding their own pets, the place had a nice atmosphere and didn’t feel like some other vets do. thank you again to all the staff at pet medics.

My sausage dog has been here twice, once with a sprained paw & sadly being run over on Christmas Day night. When we arrived on Christmas Day night, we ran in with our dog & the vet seen him straight away. Couldn’t of asked for a nicer vet & the reception staff. The reception staff were amazing and made us feel so much better. One reception lady even got the first aid kit to help my brother with his cut hands after the accident. Thanks to Pet Medics my dog was fine and sent him home with medication which he is now better. Thank you for amazing service from the vet & lovely reception lady’s on Christmas Day Night 💕 it was the last thing we expected but they made us feel so much better. 🙏✨
