The Best Veterinary Cares in West Yorkshire, United Kingdom (2025)

We wre referred to Paragon when our diabetic dog Jasper developed cataracts. Jasper is 14 years old but wasn't enjoying life being unable to see. We were given a consultation with James Rushton. He examined Jasper very thoroughly. He explained all the risks and costs of the surgery. We were kept informed at every stage of the process. We can't speak highly enough of Paragon and would highly recommend them.

Paragon Vets especially Chris Linney has done an amazing job doing their magic on my pooch, she had big surgery to help her heart and although it’s a ongoing progress, I wouldn’t have her here today, if it wasn’t for Chris and his team. He has reassured me that she is doing well and what the next steps are and that they are happy with her progress. It’s a long journey.

We travelled almost 60 miles to be greeted by very friendly and welcoming staff. The vet was very knowledgeable and treat our dog with care. We left with the answers that we were looking for with regards to her illness. Would highly recommended this practice.

They took in our exceedingly poorly 4 year old dog. They were so caring, and understanding. Every day we had 2 updates, they were clear and understandable, and really did set our mind at ease. They were easy to contact when needed, and coming from Bolton, we were able to visit quite a way outside of their open hours. Very very happy with them... Our dog? 6 days in ICU, and now back home and recovering...!

Palmer and Duncan vets have always been very efficient and informative in dealing with our dog Willow a working stock retriever and Sooty and Mittens the young cats. Mittens they saved when she had emergency major surgery after she swallowed a length of sewing cotton that got stuck in her gut. All the staff are very friendly and bubbly. When your pet needs extra care they were good to refer to another practitioner. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Been using this surgery from the day it opened. The staff in the reception are brilliant, always pleasant and helpful, nothing is a problem for them. Also the Vets are very good, they are kind and care about your pets, they explain everything to you about your pets illness and do everything they can to help. I can recommend them to anyone needing treatment for there pets

My beloved dog, Max, was only registered at Palmer and Duncan a short time before we had to say goodbye to him on Friday evening, but the patience, care and compassion shown by all staff we met during that time was outstanding. Thank you so much for making such a difficult time that little bit easier for us. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone in Ossett with a pet.

After a bad experience with a large veterinary practice we decided our next pet would be cared for by a smaller more personal team. So far we feel more at home with Palmer and Duncan. Angus isn't as impressed as us!

Without a doubt, the best and most caring vet I've ever met. Vetcare Selby provides an absolutely first class personal service. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mauro and his team. A very big personal Thank You for looking after and providing first rate care to my beloved Lucy and Ida.

Excellent service. Puppy enjoyed the visit as much as we did and didn't feel a thing. Good advice about puppy care and insurance. Will recommend

If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would, they’ve looked after both our dogs (Ted and Albert) with so much care and passion. Especially recently when Albert decided to chew on some tablets. He got really poorly and his kidneys were failing, they worked so hard on him and he’s made a full recovery. I couldn’t thank them enough for how they were with him and us.

As we are new customers the vet took his time to help my American Bulldog feel comfortable. Listened to what I said and gave me plenty of advice without the usual large bills. Apollo also loved all the treats he was given

Many thanks to Raj & Lynn for their compassion & care with helping us through putting our old border terrier to sleep. They really did make it easier for us, nothing was too much trouble. Lynn even teared up, and she had never met our dog before. What a lovely practice.

Very friendly and caring. Managed to fit my dog in for an appppointment within an hour of calling. Very attentive and thoughtful. The vet was exceptional at putting my dog at ease and very thorough with her examination. She even gave my dog a treat afterwards. I would highly recommend.

We brought our new puppy along here to get his first immunisations along with micro-chipping. Us not being registered here though it was pretty quick & straight forward getting an appointment within a quick reasonable time frame (waiting 7days to be exact). Raj was the vet in charge that day & gave us a really warm very. Mylo was made to feel super relaxed & did not feel a thing. Would definitely recommend to any family or friends. Thankyou Kindly Heidi (receptionist) & Raj (vet) 🐶❤💉😊👌

Great vets. Been going with our dog since he was a puppy. He’s now 14. Would highly recommend

We have been bringing our pets here for years, and we keep using cross green vets. Worming, jabs, and any concerns they have been great.

I couldn't ask for a better , more thorough vet than Emily Legate. The surgery is amazing and the staff are highly knowledgeable and very reasonably priced which is an added bonus but ultimately I use this veterinary surgery because I had a years worth of unsolved issues with my prescious boys ear, in one visit we had swabs taken then discovered he had a deformed ear canal in the offending ear , then he was booked in swiftly for an ear flush under anesthetic, Emily filmed the ear canal and debris in it ,for me to better understand the situation with his ear. I can't praise these guys enough and they have my recommendation to any one who wants caring, thorough up to date and highly trained veterinary care . It's a big thumbs up from me and Roman dog. I wish I could put 10 stars !!

The best vets all the family has had the pleasure of using. The prices are very reasonable, ample parking at the side/rear of the surgery. Appointments can be booked in advance and also given same day or within a day or two upon phoning. We have over the years had to use the out of hours service for the dogs and we are always impressed with the high quality of service provided. We are always kept informed if any of the animals have to stop overnight or have been in for day surgery. We would not take our animals anywhere other than cross green vets !

I'd just had a bad experience with another vet practice (not in Otley). I was nervous about trying another after moving, but I couldn't have felt more reassured. The staff were so lovely! I wasn't rushed, the vet went out of their way to make my cat feel comfortable, and gave me lots of great advice. So grateful to have such caring, professional and reasonably priced vet practice nearby who truly put animals before all else. Can't recommend them enough.

Amazing practice with caring staff. I have been using them for 8 years and really appreciate their excellent care of my pets. The petplan offered means that costs can be budgeted each month easily.

Lovely, friendly staff. The receptionist are great and helpful as well as the vets who are very knowledgeable in rabbit care- (hard to come by for rabbits) I would highly recommend this vets. When Monty has his injections or checkup or even operation. They always make sure to fully check him over regardless, and inform us of how he is getting on. I can’t fault the vets here and we are glad we signed up.

This is purely the best vets in town. They look after my elderly rag doll Valentino, who had a bad experience at a previous vets. They go the extra mile for him and have kept notes even down to scent cats love and are sure to have it on there hands when they see him. They are so caring and patient with him. I have also just adapted a dog that I found dancing in the traffic, they helped me with checking him over and what to do. They now have him on their records and have welcomed him with open arms that he loves to see them. He is all chipped vaccinated n ready to love life. Thank you all at Westwood Vets, Garforth. You are all amazing.

My number one choice for pet care. The surgery is always clean bright and welcoming nothing is too much trouble for all the staff. I particularly like the separation of waiting area for cats and dogs - which shows they care how their clients are waiting without getting stressed. My Howie is extremely vocal even without seeing any other animals. All the vets are happy to answer questions & nothing is too much trouble. They care about our pets as if they belonged to them.. And that’s a big plus for me. Wouldn’t go anywhere else, 100% pet friendly & good price point. Also situated in an accessible area with available free parking. Thanks to all at Westwood

It has taken me weeks to write this review because I am devastated by the loss of my Lottie. The time had come to make that awful decision that all pet owners dread. I was told about Charlotte and her home euthanasia service by my own vet and I am just so grateful. Charlotte was wonderful. She handled Lottie so gently, showed my husband and myself such kindness and compassion. She made such a sad situation bearable and I can't thank her enough. I would recommend Charlotte to anyone in the same situation as myself. She took control and organised everything including Lottie's cremation. I will be forever grateful.

Charlotte came to our home and made a very difficult time acceptable. Her professional approach and caring nature made the passing of our dear friend tolerable. I can recommend her services without any reservations. If you need her services please do not hesitate.

Charlotte made one of the most difficult decisions and experiences we’ve ever had to face much more bearable. We had to say goodbye to our 15 year old springer, Maddie, who was so loved by all in the family. Charlotte was kind, compassionate, responsive and gave us ample time to say goodbye in the most peaceful way possible. Charlotte went above and beyond with some extra little keep sakes that will be cherished forever. Thank you so much. Josh, Chrissy & Danielle

Charlotte was very kind, considerate and respectful, she explained the whole procedure, gave us time to say our final goodbyes. She sent us a card with our dogs paw print and nose print on which so thoughtful. We requested an individual cremation and she returned the ashes to us with some beautiful little memories including some fur in a lovely bottle. We have another old dog and when her time comes I will most definitely use Charlotte's services again.

Can’t recommend this vet enough. After using beechwood vets which were a total rip off and unfriendly staff we moved my dog to this vets from a recommendation. My dog is very anxious about attending the vets and the vets and staff here are very friendly and have the animals best interests at heart. We took my dog as he had a lump on his chin the vet took a look at it and said it was likely a piece of bone that had grown out and there was no point doing a biopsy as with my dog been anxious he would need sedating- many vets would have said to do the biopsy to get extra money! The best part of all the vets didn’t even charge us for this consultation! That is how you know the vets are good and caring about animals and not out to rip you off!

Excellent vets with great service from both the vet and admin team. Have been my vet of choice for 3 dogs now stretching back over nearly 20 years. Building is easy to reach, sharing an access road with the car wash, but with dedicated parking and a small grass area at the front. Ramp access to the front door is easy to manage for the mobility impared. Inside is clean, bright and airy, with toilets available and a small waiting area, including an area especially for those with smaller pets that is marked as a dog-free zone. Reception / admin staff are polite and helpful, greeting customers warmly and happy to say hello to pets and try to put them at ease. I've never had to wait more than a minute or two before being called into the examination rooms. All of the vets I've seen are equally nice, friendly and cheerful, and empathic towards the animals they're treating. The examination rooms are 'compact', but big enough for the job at hand, clean and tidy. Whenever I've taken my dogs in, the vet has always taken the time to try and treat them as kindly as possible, making sure there's a little treat to be had for each injection taken or for being poked and prodded - but it's little things like letting the dog take a moment to sniff the stethescope before they're checked over that I think makes going to the vet a non-traumatic experience for them. Vets have always been happy to discuss treatment options with me and make recommendations for their care, and the prices seem fair and reasonable in my experience. Strongly recommend.

Always amazing with our Bailey who's a 14 week old miniature dachshund. He doesn't get nervous visiting and they always take good care of him every time we visit! Always quick to see you and easy enough to book appointments. Managed to get one this morning by calling up at 8.30am to see if there were any appointments. Managed to get one at 10am which was amazing. Poor Bailey's anal glands were full and needed to be expressed but the vets took very good care of him.

I visited this vets yesterday with my new kitten Rodger, the reception team were very lovely and friendly which made us feel super welcome. The interior of the vets was clean and fresh. Also the vet we saw was so lovely with him and gave him lots of love! 100% recommend this vets and so glad we chose this practice

Sad occasion. Our 15 year old cat had to go to sleep. The practice staff were very sympathetic and understanding as they have always been over the years we have been coming here. Would recommend 100 per cent!
