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

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!

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) 🐶❤💉😊👌

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.

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 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.

Our beautiful Puka has been spayed in Oakwood veterinary surgery. I think it was the best decision we made to bring her exactly to this vet clinic and we was travelling from ls12 area because clinic was recommended to me. I was impressed with that care what they was given to each animal there. Thank you to Oakwood Team for this great experience I felt calm from surgery day to our recovery period at home .

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.

I absolutely love this vet. It's independent and works with the owner to care for their ill animal. It's not just about money. The vets are very nice and the receptionist always books me in very quickly. She also deals with me freaking out over email quite a few times (sorry but thank you). I really love this little vet practice. It's how all vets should be run.

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 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 !!

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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 honestly cannot recommend Serenity Vets enough. Losing my 17 year old dog Norman has been heartbreaking for me and my family but Serenity Vets made the whole process as calm, dignified and comfortable for Norman as possible. The vet who came to our home to help Norm onto his last journey was kind and respectful and we didn't feel rushed in any way at all. We decided to have Norm individually cremated through the Vets and part of this meant they also brought Norm's ashes back to us, along with the blanket he was wrapped in when he passed away and also a lovely hand written card which was an unexpected kindness. I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping us to make sure Norm felt loved and safe in his final moments. Your professionalism and kindness will stay with me forever. Thank you Lucy

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.

I’ve had dealings with this practice for many years - and always been treated with courtesy and professionalism. My latest trip was yesterday after my collie Tara frightened the life out of me with a nasty turn. The young vet was so kind and reassuring and the receptionist was particularly friendly and welcoming. Thanks to the whole team

The staff at Rothwell are very welcoming and everyone greets my little pup and try to put him at ease

Lovely friendly welcoming staff, very caring. They go above and beyond. They invited myself and Ted to just pop in for a chat and a treat, to help Ted familiarise himself so that he won't feel anxious when he has to come to see the vet.

Very pleased with my appointment. Friendly and polite staff, all round great service and advice for my kitten Bunny Thank you Abbey House

We’ve been with Abbey House Halton (and its previous incarnation Calder Vets) for 5+ years and they’ve always provided amazing care for our two dogs and two cats. One of our dogs is very difficult to handle, and they’re always very supportive and helpful in treating him.

I have been with Purple vets for around 5 or 6 years now with my 2 cats. The staff and vets have always had my best interests. The nurses there have always been so friendly and when I’ve called for advice they’ve been able to give a helping hand. One of my cats was recently diagnosed with cancer and as pain relief and steroids weren’t helping the size of the mass I asked for advice on other options. They referred me to paragon. It may have not been the positive result I hoped for but they still went above and beyond to make sure I got the answers I needed. When my cat had to be PTS they were there and there was no rush, I was able to say my last goodbyes to my dear old friend before she went over the rainbow bridge. They were very empathetic and supportive throughout the process. I always gave them a call if I needed advice. Consultations are free and everyone is very friendly. I would definitely recommend using Purple vets to others. Thank you for helping me through a very difficult time.

Shopped around for a local vet to have my dog neutered. I was recommended to try Purple Vets who I decided to contact. From beginning to end the staff were really friendly and made me feel at ease. They answered all my questions and nothing was too much trouble. They were very thorough when advising me on after care. I can highly recommend them.

Lovely small vets, so your pet isn't mixing with lots of other animals. Which is great if you have a nervous pet. The staff are amazing, you can tell they love animals. They are knowledgeable and always happy to give advice. You feel your pet comes first, not money like some vets.

We had to take our cat, Nectar, to Holly House out of hours, and the care we received was exceptional. The team was professional, compassionate, and incredibly thorough, which made such a stressful situation a little easier to handle. They explained everything clearly and treated Nectar with such kindness and respect. It’s reassuring to know that such great care is available when you need it most. I’d highly recommend Holly House for anyone needing out-of-hours vet services. Thank you to the team for everything you did for us and for Nectar!

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!

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
