Tees Vets

Tees Vets is described by reviewers as an independent practice (one owner explicitly contrasts it with “rip-off corporate vets”). Based on the cases mentioned, it appears set up for routine preventive care (vaccinations, check-ups, blood tests) as well as in-house treatment and surgery for some conditions without referral. Specific experiences owners mention include a quick vaccination appointment for a cat to reduce stress, antibiotics prescribed for a rabbit with sneezing that improved within days, and a surgical procedure arranged at the practice after an unexpected blood-test result, with repeated explanations and regular updates.

There is also a clear split in experiences: several reviews describe compassionate support, including end-of-life euthanasia care for a dog, while one reviewer reports a serious concern about a new vet’s handling of a cat (limited examination due to hissing and no eye drops given).
