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

I just want to say thank you to all of the wonderful compassionate team at Serenity Vet Services. It’s taken me a while to write this but I’m finally coming to terms with the loss of my baby bear, Echo. Your lovely vet who made the process as nice as possible, then taking care of my boy afterwards, wrapping him in blankets, as well as the amazing caring team arranging his cremation and bringing his ashes safely back to us at home a few days later along with his footprints and a handwritten card which was so so thoughtful. I’m so grateful that your service exists because it made what was the worst day of our lives as peaceful for us as it could be. There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think of him, it breaks me, but then I think about the way he got to drift peacefully and happy at home with no zero stress, and his sister(our other dog) got to be next to him and it could put her mind at ease knowing he hadn’t just left the house one day and left her. And the fact that now me and my family can think about that moment and not be distraught but instead be at peace because of your service, is ultimately such a beautiful thing. Thank you again.

James Heriot would be Proud of this team. I can't Thank you enough for all your Help Support and Speed when we need you. It was heart breaking saying Goodbye to Storm. A card in the post a couple of days later WOW lovely Thank You

I cannot thank serenity vets services enough. My fur baby of almost 17 years passed over rainbow bridge on Friday 17th January 2025 and the empathy and compassion that Vicky showed was second to none. She explained everything about what would happen and nothing was rushed, it was all in our time. As with most pet owners that have to euthanise their beloved pet I was guilt ridden but she even said she thought it was the right time. I cannot put into words all the things I want to say but if anyone ever asked me for recommendations I would say 100% these Thank you for making the most horrible decision and situation bearable

Our furby baby, Barney , left us a week ago to go over the Rainbow Bridge. Cannot thank Vicky enough for making his journey over the bridge as peaceful, calm, pain free and comfortable as possible. Barney's ashes have been returned to us in a timely manner. Cannot recommend this service enough. Thank you Vicky.

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.

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.

This is the best vet in Selby by far. Saved are dog other vets said euthanize him. This vet gave him three good years. He's a brilliant vet with a different way of dealing with your pet. Thanks. **

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 !!

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.

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 !

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 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!"

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!

We came in today and were treated with utmost friendliness, professionalism and Fran (our chihuahua) was treated successfully and kindly. Caterina proved to be knowledgeable and super funny. What a fantastic team. Kat is a lovely front of the house.

Brought my 2 kittens in on Thursday for neutering and spaying and I cannot praise the staff enough. From the reception staff to the surgeon and everyone inbetween we were made to feel cared for and welcome. You can see they love what they do and I was more than happy to leave my babies in their expert care. Thank you from Kit & Kat x

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

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.

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!

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.

Great vets. Been going with our dog since he was a puppy. He’s now 14. 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) 🐶❤💉😊👌

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.

Brought my cat here for surgery, we are registered with a different branch but managed to get an app with any. This branch had the earliest. Was quiet and very clean. There is no carpark but plenty of main road parking. Receptionist was very welcoming and the main vet was really lovely too. Gave great aftercare advice and booked me a follow up app at the branch I'm registered too for ease. Great service!

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.

We cannot express enough how grateful our family is for the incredible support and assistance Charlotte provided during such a difficult and emotional time. Your presence and genuine care made a world of difference not only for our beloved Max but for all of us. From the moment you stepped into our home, it was evident that you truly understood the deep bond we had with Max. Your attentiveness and thoughtfulness throughout the entire process was remarkable. Your compassionate demeanor helped alleviate some of the pain and grief we were experiencing, and we sincerely appreciate the warmth and kindness you showed us. The special touches you added to commemorate Max's life were beyond what we could have imagined. The delicate paw and nose prints, as well as his beautiful curly coat, are cherished keepsakes that will forever remind us of our beloved Max. Charlotte, your dedication to ensuring Max's crossing was as peaceful and dignified as possible was evident in every detail. Your care and support went above and beyond what we expected, and we are forever grateful for the role you played during this challenging time. Max's passing was eased because of your presence, and for that, we will be eternally thankful. With heartfelt appreciation and warmest regards Max's family 💛

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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
