We had to take our beautiful kitty Twinkle, who was poorly, and sadly we had to let her go to sleep. The young lady vet was so beautiful and caring, gentle and compassionate. We have since received a beautiful condolences card, containing a packet of 'memorial' wild flowers. Thank you all. God bless you x

It’s really hard to find people and places within the pet industry that genuinely care. Stavley vets are one of these places, my dog Mabel absolutely loves it here and everyone there seems to absolutely love her. Shes been in a lot recently for her Spey and some other issues following but she still loves going and still leaves happy! Before her surgery I was terrified of the worst happening but when I went in for her preop checks I actually came out excited for her? I don’t know how they did it! I think it was simply the joy of seeing her around people who were excited to be around her, I knew she’d be looked after! My cats have also been with Stavley vets and they’ve always been honest and realistic with expectations instead of just doing things for the sake of it. It’s a really lovely place!

Excellent Vets and practice. Harry, my 3 year old Cocker Spaniel had a large cyst on his chest.I took him into Staveley Vets two days before Christmas.The vet diagnosed the problem and booked him in to have the cyst drained the following day and worked out the estimated cost. The day before Christmas Eve he was operated on and came home the same day. The two vets, Sue and James couldn't have been more caring,professional and efficient.As were the practice nurses and reception staff. The important thing about this practice is that all the vets are independents, working together. Four out of Five Veterinary practices today are part of large business combines, who over the past 10 years have bought up practices as vets retire.Their profits pay shareholders, which is reflected in their charges.I left a previous practice when I realised this and sought out an independent Vets. I couldn't recommend Staveley Vets too highly.
