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

What an amazing vets Rhona is absolutely briillant. Got my dog walking correctly in months. The team are amazing to. Can't recommend these guys enough.

I can not thank fran enough for helping me keep Nellie fit during this shoot season. Highly recommended

I found Vet Rhona and her team to be incredibly caring. I was referred to Rhona by my local vet ( Barnsley) the communication between both vets was amazing, sometimes holding case conference on weekend and even when one vet was off sick. My dog Sam was very lucky to get an early diagnosis of Addison's disease; before it caused him any serious problems. Addison's disease is mainly diagnosed when a dog is seriously ill, fortunately for Sam who had very vague symptoms was diagnosed before hand. So great full for a great team effort by both vets working together... thank you so much to all the team

Compassionate, caring, understanding & honest. Can't praise the staff at Mirfield & Huddersfield enough for how we and our fur babies were treated recently, would highly recommend.

Thank you so much to Zack for picking up on Baby’s heart murmur after two vets missed it!! (Not Donaldson’s). Somerset Road were also brilliant and my little boy is home and fine. ❤️ Donaldson’s may not be the cheapest but the vets are brilliant and I completely trust them with all 3 of my babies. Thank you.

Called ahead as I wanted to register my shynx'. The receptionist was really knowledgeable, and registration was easy. Cats were really calm with the male vet, who was great and allayed any concerns I had about spay/neuter for this breed.

Andy has cared for my own and rescued animals for over 10 years. From birth to death, I can say they have had kind and compassionate treatment. I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else.

The staff at this veterinary practice have been fantastic, not in only caring for my dogs, but ensuing a dignified and peaceful end to one of my dogs life. The showed compassion, empathy and love for both myself and my dog in her last moments. I will be forever grateful to them, thank you does not cut it.

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.

Fabulous practice and staff, very approachable and personable. Make you feel very welcome and obviously love animals, can leave your pet knowing they are in safe hands. Great communication from all staff kept informed re pets progress, nothing too much trouble. V reasonably priced in todays times! Wouldn’t use any other practice

Absolutely outstanding service. Myles spent so much time ensuring my dogs health certificates for overseas travel were prepared accurately, ensuring we had everything we needed. We are all currently enjoying the sun in Spain for the winter. Thanks Myles, extremely grateful for your time and effort

what an amazing practice and vets. The first visit today with Shep. Cheryl was very thorough and very professional soon putting our dog and ourselves at ease - what a practice! - well done. Thoroughly recommend this vets. Thank you

So caring with our beautiful boy Bane,we lost our boy but their compassion and care made a heartbreaking decision more bearable.Thank you all so much .

TO ALL THE WONDERFUL STAFF AT CANCER CARE FOR PET. We just want to say as a family what an amazing FAMILY you guys are.From the moment we walked in to the practice we were met by smiling faces and the greeting Ollie received was second to non.Thankyou from the bottom of our hearts for being there not just for Ollie but for explaining to us about Ollie his life limiting condition,his leg amputation and for being so respectful too us all.Ollie has now had 5 rounds of chemotherapy and alongside medication will be monitored closely.You really are amazing people doing and amazing job not just for the dogs/cats/goats/ but other animals too. Just as a point of reference Ollie has a very rare form of cancer due to his age,size and the area it was in that is why he had the amputation( hemanngiosarcoma) not sure of the spelling sorry. Below is a video of the day after his amputation bless him and he has just carried on like this ever since.

What a lovely team, who have treated our dog, who is very special to us and was given a devastating diagnosis. Neil, Kirsty and the team have treated her with surgery and subsequent chemotherapy and she is doing fantastic. We are really impressed with their empathy and they clearly all love animals when you see how they treat their patients. We are just grateful to be having extra quality time with our baby!

Was referred here by my vets as my Labrador Arnie has 2 different cancers in 3 places. The care from ALL the staff has been brilliant. I cannot thank them enough for the attention they give Arnie. Pulling up to the vets Arnie gets over excited in the car and drags me through the door and knows exactly where he’s going. The staff seem equally as excited to see him. We have to visit quite often as he had 5 rounds of chemo, with blood tests a week later and a couple of CT scans thrown into the mix too. We have been there almost every Monday for the last 4 month and every time is exactly the same level of excitement for both Arnie and the staff. For all the medical treatment that Arnie goes through, the fact that he still gets excited to be at the vets is only testament to the personal treatment of Arnie. Especially Giulia! The way she treats Arnie and the way he acts around her is amazing. When ever I am faced with options on treatment I have absolutely no hesitation in taking Giulia’s recommendation. She treats Arnie as her own so I am entirely confident in her recommendations. I’d honestly prefer not to hear the options available but only her opinion as that is what I would go with 100% of the time. I honestly hope nobody reading this has ever a need to go see them. But if unfortunately you need their services then stop reading and call them up. Theirs no where else I would ever go to so long as Giulia and the team are still there.

I cannot put into words the care, compassion and such kindness shown to us throughout Denzil's (aka Dennis) treatment. We always knew it would be losing battle for him but Guilla and all the team never gave up on him. When Dennis lost his battle all of the team showed him love till his last breath. I can't thank everyone enough at Cancer care for pets for helping him with the best care and treatment available for Dennis.

Booked to have my cat seen as she was clearly unwell, despite not being registered I was signed up in minutes and had an appointment within the hour on a Saturday morning. Amazingly compassionate staff at a very difficult time. My pet was handled with care and respect until her final moments. I will trust Donaldsons with all my future pets, thank you.

Outstanding vets. Have all my animals with them and can honestly say they are the best around. My dog actually likes visiting them and he’s had at least two operations. Just shows you how much they look after and care for them when they have to stay overnight. 10/10. I would give them more if I could. My dog Blu gives them a solid paws up :)

Donaldsons are fantastic! They are caring, knowledgable professional, people who have always been there when my many rescues have needed them.

Excellent caring service, really prompt appointments, professional service by all the vets. I really feel my dog gets such good care and follow up checks. Clear aftercare and information regarding cost. He recently had a dental appointment and teeth extracted, Ted bounced back immediately after, he was a new pup again. Unfortunately Ted has to have another operation but I feel confident he will recieve the best care. Thank you .

I couldn’t have wished for a more dignified end for my dog. The vet, nurse and receptionist were so very patient and understanding. Thank you all for your professionalism, compassion and kindness.

Always feel so welcome at this Vets. All the staff are super friendly, compassionate and helpful. Micky (or Nicky?) is always super helpful and friendly on the phone and when you go in, as is Steph. All the vets I see also always very loving towards my cats. I know cats can be sassy little things but mine are such cuddle bears that the vets always pinch a cuddle and say how friendly they are. Always manage to get the right diagnosis and gets them better. Could recommend them enough. Thanks as always :)

Fantastic, friendly and caring team at Denby Dale and feel the same about their Penistone practice on the occasions we've had to visit there. Always met with a friendly face and they have always provided a calm and welcoming environment for my past and present furbabies. Great team.

The vet that as just seen my dog Alfie was fantastic she cares and was so informative and understanding I would definitely recommend calder vets at Denby Dale. No waiting, appointment on time and receptionist was polite and friendly. Overall I felt confident with the service and my dog was in good hands. Unfortunately I had to have Alfie put to sleep I cannot thank the vet and staff enough for all the care and support given to us. I now go to the same vet with my dog Peggy who Unfortunately became a diabetic and again I cannot say enough about the vet and staff that have been fantastic in all her care needs I wouldn't go anywhere else!

Excellent as always. Nice to see a vet that is there for your much loved pets. My daughters cats are always at ease and usually purring away when Michael is examining them. Been with Calder vets for years and wouldn't want to go anywhere else.

Everyone at Calder Vets is kind and caring towards both pets and their owners. Even in very stressful circumstances everyone is put at ease and you can be confident that your pet is in good hands. Decisions are always made in the interest of the animal and any concerns that owners have are taken fully into account. It is great to know that our pets (and us 🙂) will be put at ease and receive the best possible treatment.

Could not say a bad word about the staff from first visit and through a long healing process after her operation (due to her not leaving it alone to heal )everyone was amazing Skye just loved visiting the vets couldn't wait to get in and see them all would definitely highly recommend thankyou for putting up with her 😊

I’ve been using this vet practice for years. I’ve always found all the staff to be helpful, knowledgeable and very professional. This morning my cat had an appointment with Tavi. Not only did Tavi look at the issue my cat had gone in for but looked at two other little issues as well. Not only is Tavi a great vet he is also a nice person. Very friendly, approachable and caring.

The receptionist Tracey was friendly, polite and explained and helped me to sign up to the pet plan immediately. She explained what was included, the price breakdown and gave me leaflets to explain. The vet Tavi was amazing. So knowledgeable and understanding of my dog and his temperament. Knew exactly what to do and how to handle him. It was the first time I came to this practice having recently moved the area and I'm so relieved I've found such a friendly, caring practice with a vet who can help my dog Noodle. Thank you so much. Next time I won't feel so nervous to come along with my pup! :)

Bring 9 out of 10 pets to companian care ( the other goes to a local vet as he hates the car). Never had an issue at all, all staff very friendly, and the vets take their time to allow the pets to relax, only thing is their prices have jumped up since lockdown.
