I have been visiting Shipley and Idle Vets since I moved to the area in 2019, with my three indoor cats, and I've recently taken my 9 week old puppy for his first visit. They are so friendly and professional, putting me and my animals at ease. The welcome at reception is warm and they always make sure that any animals in the waiting area are OK together - they are very aware of the temperaments of the animals. On one visit they suggested I move my cats briefly into another room while a large, excitable dog left the vets room and left the building. Any of the vets I've seen have been great with all my animals and I never feel rushed, even when I'm asking lots of questions. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Absolutely heartbroken at having to put our boy, Buddy the cat, to sleep but from first consultation to sending him off the service was wonderful. The first vet we saw, John, gave a thorough examination with great care and gave us a diagnosis we could understand, unfortunately, Buddy just deteriorated after that and we made the painful decision to stop his suffering. The second vet we saw, Kate, was more like a bereavement counsellor than vet she was so sympathetic. We were there for 50 minutes whilst we were given a full explanation of procedure and time with Buddy before he went. My wife and I cannot praise them enough and highly recommend them to any concerned pet owners.

Great vet surgery. Reception staff are amazing, friendly and always make you feel welcome. The vet Alison that I’ve seen the last couple of times is fantastic, she’s great with my cat George, always explains things in detail and genuinely cares. Couldn’t ask for a better service, all the staff there are brilliant.

I chose this practice because I was dissatisfied with the atmosphere and pricing at my previous vet. I was made to feel very welcome at this practice, everyone was professional, well informed, efficient and seemed to be very pet/owner oriented. I’m delighted and would recommend highly

I have been going to shipley and idle vets for 35 years plus. Always an excellent service, and the best care for my many animals over the years. I would not go anywhere else! Thank you
