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

Been dealing with Oakwood Veterinary since 2001, never been disappointed. Dr. Kothari is very professional and very straightforward. He did a major surgery on my Husky in 2016 with which I was very satisfied. Very kind and very reasonably priced. I would recommend them to everyone if they're looking for a professional and reasonable veterinary help.

We’ve been with Oakwood Vets for well over 15 years and they looked after both our cats that have now sadly passed away. We have nothing but praise for the team. Our cats received expert care for many years and we cannot thank them enough for the compassion shown when our eldest cat passed away earlier this year. I have recommended Oakwood Vets to others and will continue to do so.

Thank you so much!. We feel so lucky to have this vet!.... One of the few independent vets that remain despite the buldozer of corporate culture and the immoral prices that go with that. Lovely caring people and warm skillful service. Thanks again.

We always have a wonderful experience when visiting the vet and we have to come once a month for our cat's injections. You can tell that the vet really cares about animals and the well being of them. He is highly knowledgeable and only prescribes what is really necessary. I wouldn't go to any other vet after bringing our cat to him.

Lovely Veterinary team. My English is not good, but they always repeat and slow down their speech very patiently, which makes me feel very warm and relaxed， The email communication is very clear, and the charges are transparent and reasonable. After I adopted the cat, I checked all the practices I can find in Leeds. In terms of transportation, price and service, it was the best choice for me. Highly recommend this practice.

"I take my dog, Taffy, to Beechwood Vets in Headingley for her annual vaccinations and health checks. The staff are always incredibly thorough, carefully checking everything and explaining any health concerns clearly. When Taffy needed surgery, they gave us an appointment straight away. Today, she had her surgery, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The reception staff and the entire team were so kind, helpful, and understanding. A particularly lovely lady at reception was so compassionate when I was worried and crying—she took the time to calm me down and reassure me, which meant so much. Their calm and caring attitude made Taffy feel at ease too. The surgery went smoothly, and I’m so grateful for the excellent care they provided. Thank you to everyone at Beechwood-headingley surgery – you’re truly amazing!"

Couldn't be happier with our first visit to Beechwood Vets, Headingley. Took our puppy for their first check up and vaccinations. The staff were all lovely and made the vet visit as positive as possible! They were happy to answer all of our questions and took time to do so.

I’ve been coming to the Headingley Beechwood Vets since it opened with my cat and they are brilliant with her. She’s usually nervous at the vets but the staff all set her at ease, let her adjust and she gives her blood sample with no bother now. Highly recommend this vets!

I’ve had a great experience today for my first visit to Vets4Pets. I phoned up prior to discuss costs and the monthly plan, and Emily was so helpful. She was very informative and was very patient with all of my questions and queries. Upon my visit I saw Emily and again she was extremely informative and very nice to talk to. The Vet I saw (I’m not sure what his name is but he was young) was very nice, polite, gentle with my kitten and really informative again. A brilliant experience for me and my kitten, both as newbies to Vets!

The staff are always friendly and helpful. We love our visits and feel confident our dog Ezzy is well cared for .

I have my own doggy daycare and boarding business and every time I have had to use this practice I have been impressed with all of the staff. My own dog has had to come a lot recently and the nurses are lovely with him. They are always so friendly and helpful, both on the phone and in person. The vet David is excellent! He always goes out of his way to explain everything clearly, and I have complete faith in him, which is not something I have ever been able to say about any other vet. He is the right combination of friendly and professional, and I think that is so important when you are an owner, and trusting your pet into the care of someone. When he operated on my dog Bruno recently, the wound healed really well, so clearly he's a good surgeon as well! Bruno and I actually look forward to our visits to the vets now, which is amazing. A vets practice is only ever as good as it's staff, and they are fantastic here.

Have taken a couple of kittens here to be neutered and unfortunately our eldest cat go to sleep. The receptionists and vets are absolutely fantastic. They make sure your checked in and seated in the right area and the vets are told your there. The waiting are is always spotlessly clean and if any pets have an accident it's instantly cleaned up and disinfected. The vets are caring and not just there to make money like I have experienced at other vets where they want you to throw money at them to keep a animal going. When our elderly cat had had a diagnosis they were honest and up front and explained everything perfectly which was great for my elderly mother (no wasn't getting her euthanized yet) so I didn't have to explain it to her. The receptionist made sure we were looked after and we were shown to a low lit room with a nice fluffy blanket for our cat. After it was complete we were given a card with a collection of paw prints. This made a sad time easier. Other vets can charge £15 and over for print. If you want a place to take your loved fur / non fur babies to be cured , fixed etc then go here as the service is second to none.

I recently switched my French Bulldog to Leeds Veterinary Centre in Crossgates. My dog had surgery and I felt that James, Vanessa and all the team really do care. I was given advice and constantly updated. excellent service. Highly recommended, Thank you Leeds Veterinary Clinic

I've been taking my cat Bertie since August 2022 as a tiny kitten. He's been there on and off every month for one thing and another since that time, this last 8 months have been hard as he was diagnosed with hip displacia, especially this last week! I cannot thank Katherine his main vet and all the team for all their care, and going the extra mile for him and kindness. If I could give more stars 🌟 I would. Massive thank .. you all deserve it

We are staying in Leeds temporarily and our 14 year old dog is struggling. Saw the vet, Katherine, at short notice this morning. We really appreciated her kindness and advice. Thank you so much for helping our dog. This is a very clean, welcoming practice. The receptionist was very kind too. Thank you.

Incredible place and professionals. Highly recommend! Vets really care about your pet, provide detailed explanations and there is no rush whatsoever on the consult. Place is clean and organised with affordable prices. Big thanks for Dr. Katherine for looking after our Sukie and Splodge

The team are fantastic! They have been so supportive and understanding with our rescue Dachshund. He’s not had the best start in life and can very nervous around strangers, especially men. White cross have been so accommodating and supportive with him, always going out of their way to make sure he has the most stress free visits possible. A fantastic vets, highly recommend!

What an excellent vets . I’m happy my cat is looked after, procedures always explained clearly . Highly recommended

Appointments are always punctual and easy to book . The receptionists are all personable and vets thorough. Very happy with 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!

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

I’ve had 3 pets (a dwarf hamster, a gerbil and a rabbit) receive treatment at HHE and every time the care has been absolutely exceptional. It’s clear that everyone from FOH to the student nurses to the vets themselves really, truly care about the critters that come into the practice, and their knowledge and expertise is even clearer. Harriet even managed to perform surgery on my dwarf hamster last year, which must take delicacy and precision that I can only imagine. The whole team is beyond loving and skilled. HHE is the best practice I’ve ever been to and I’ll be bringing my pets here for years to come.

Thank you Kim, Sarah, and the reception team for supporting my bunny Dasher (right) and diagnosing his teeth issues. They were amazing at explaining what the possible issues could be and asking about his care in a non-judgemental way. I was very impressed that they gave me an estimate up front of costs and asked whether I'd be comfortable paying for x-rays if required. They answered all my questions in detail and I know I can contact them for advice if he continues to have issues. There was also no admin fee for insurance claims if I paid myself! I'd put off using this vet due to distance but it's well worth it even for my car-hating boys.

Took our Giz (bearded dragon) who was very ill sadly the vet explained everything, she probs wunt pull threw surgery so we made the hard decision to put her to sleep, we fetched her home to bury in the garden, the vet took little prints of her feet for us that was lovely of her, then a week later we recieved a sympathy card n some lovely wildflower seeds. All the vets we've been to over the years none were as nice, (think she was American sorry I carn't remember your name)thank you for looking after us x The Pearson family

I have come to this vets multiple times for my three hamsters over the last year and we have been seen by Harriet (and the occasionally lovely veterinary student) for all our appointments and she has been amazing despite it being bad news most of the time, incredibly compassionate while also delivering the diagnosis effectively and talking through all our options with us. Harriet is a credit to the team, and every time we've visited we've felt completely welcome by the receptionist team and always felt comfortable that our hamsters were in the best hands possible

Used this vets for years having dogs . Now having lost my last dogs due to old age, now have a cat 17 years old and becoming concerning. The lady vet we saw was absolutely spot on . Listened and discussed the problem which was heartwarming. The lady in question was called iris and was one of the best we have ever seen. Could have gone down the road of blood tests and xrays but at 17 years old is too much. Cats have 9 lives, maybe he's on his ninth.

Another visit for Cooper and Wilson’s annual booster. Cooper and Wilson again always so excited when we go. The team are so friendly and professional. Would highly recommend.

Great Idea really helpful to text reminder to book appointment/or send appointment already booked to confirm date ,time or 📞 to rearrange recep friendly, polite, helpful. Vet really good answered all our questions carried out good assessment weight,fitness,health of Baxter our Border terrier .Thankyou for a excellent service .

A very friendly and helpful vets. They took us on when our vet in Dewsbury said they didn’t have enough vets to help us. We rang every vet in the Wakefield area to get Milly her booster and her nails cut under sedation (she won’t let anyone near her paws) and they were all full. Yorkshire Vets said they could help. Really happy with them.

I required an emergency appointment for my gorgeous but very poorly cat. They were the only emergency vets around when we needed one. My boy had to be put down but I was so impressed by the staff's kindness, efficiency, communication and knowledge and understanding that I have now registered my two new furbabies with them and taken the pet care plan. Thank you so much to vets Jenny and Emma for giving my boy such good quality care. You were there when he needed you and all your staff were there for me too. Excellent, bright clean, well equipped facility. I definitely recomend.

Absolutely amazing, the receptionist was so kind! I just rescued a kitten, and I needed to get him checked, they got me an appointment the same day! Was really really impressed!

The staff do an amazing job, I took a Woodcock in that flaw into the side of a building, sadly the bird didn't make it due to it's injury, but the staff we're amazing and do an amazing job looking after animals, thank you

After waking up to find my 23 year old African Grey very weak and in respiratory distress I rang round trying to find an emergency avian vet appointment. After being advised he needed to go into hospital we made the trip to Holly House. Everybody was amazing, explaining everything, keeping us informed about his progress and the cost at all times. I was happy he was in good hands. He made a rapid recovery and I would like to thank everyone for taking care of him.

My dog Wally was very poorly and we almost lost him with a pneumonia and stomach issue. These are the best vets I've ever been to. Communication was clear/objective, and the caring is in the little things they did, like a nurse running to Tesco to get tuna to get him to eat at least something. Shout out to Francisco, Jenny, Katrina, Cathy, Tom, Dan and the ones I didn't get the name of. Everyone was outstanding.

We recently took my mum’s beloved cat to Holly House Vets, and we are so grateful for the kindness and compassion they showed us. The team was gentle, understanding, and treated our cat with such care and respect. They created a calm and peaceful environment, ensuring her final moments were handled with dignity and love. Thank you for your incredible support and thoughtfulness—it truly meant so much my mum. You have an incredible team!
