All the staff are amazing, so friendly and welcoming and nothing is ever too much trouble. The vets and vet nurses go above and beyond and it's evident they really care. Our boy can be a little anxious and they always take their time with him, they never rush him and they always make sure he has a positive experience with them. We wouldn't trust anyone else with our boy.

Our first experience at this vets was unfortunately when our dog was on a path of no return, but we dealt with Rachel who worked on reception and Mauro the vet. What an absolute breath of fresh air and they restored our faith in Veterinary practices in general. Never have I experienced such helpfulness and transparency at a Scarsdale vets (Pride Park or Alestree), where an informed diagnosis, prognosis and costs were all put on the table in a professional and empathetic manner (Mauro was absolutely brilliant). Rachel's help in bringing things forward for us when our dog took a significant turn for the worst was very much appreciated.

I have been with Scarsdale Vets since 2018 when I moved to Derby. Shelton Lock is very understanding. All the staff are very friendly and caring including the reception staff who are the first people we see. All Scarsdale sites are brilliant, my favourite is Scarsdale in Shelton Lock. Good vibes from the minute you enter the building. My 3 dogs are always well looked after. Absolutely fantastic. Thank you all at Shelton Lock. Laci, Levi and Lexi and owner 😊
