Lovely people. We were on holiday when we needed treatment for our dog, due to an accident, we were seen the same day by Sarah (the first visit) then unfortunately, a few days later, we needed to go back as our dog got poorly with colitis & again seen the same day by Emma. Cannot fault them. Very reasonably priced, compared to some vets! Everyone we saw were lovely & very friendly. If you are ever on holiday in the Lake District & you have a poorly dog, I cannot recommend them enough.

I had to use Rowcliffe Vets for an emergency with my dog out of hours and the service and care was absolutely faultless. We were away on holiday when we needed the vets for what would have been a fatal condition for my dog. Rowcliffes came to the rescue saving my dog and giving exceptional service and care for the few days we needed them. I would not hesitate to recommend them. I only wish you were closer to home! Thank you so much :)

Our dog Whinnie has colitis and unfortunately had a flare up whilst in holiday. A Sunday morning appointment was dealt with care and efficiency. We cannot praise this practice enough.First class thankyou.
