Bakewell Veterinary Clinic – Vets in Bakewell
Clinic Overview
Bakewell Veterinary Clinic is a small-animal practice that owners use for both urgent problems and long-term conditions. Recent reviews mention dogs being “quickly seen” for a seizure, ongoing management of heart failure over multiple years, and follow-up contact after urgent treatment. A minority of reviewers report being refused care or removed from the practice register in specific situations (a rescued cat where the clinic said they needed to speak to the owner who abandoned it; and a dog described as part XL bully).

- •Urgent same-day care (example: a dog with a seizure was assessed quickly, with guidance on what to do).

Outright refused to care for a rescued cat because they could not directly speak to the owner who dumped them.

Hettie out border collie received excellent service from all the vets at Bakewell throughout her life. Hettie lived two years from when her heart failure was first diagnosed in October 23. In our view at least one year additional life was due to the expert care that she received from Giles Bramwell. We are very fortunate to have such an excellent veterinary practice in Bakewell.

Fantastic place used to go years ago then changed for some reason. Since changing back i've had the best care for my other dog and this one. Great staff very caring don't rush you. They listen to to your concerns and reception staff are great. My dog runs in goes behind to greet them. I've recommended these to all my family and neighbours.

Refused my dog for a spay and removed us from their practice records because she is only part XL bully. Were very rude to me on the pphone. Would not recommend and would have put no stars if that was an option. Absolutely appalling behaviour from a practice that claims to take any pets!

We were staying at the nearby campsite when my dog, Zeus, needed urgent care over the bank holiday weekend. I was petrified because of the type of care that was needed and also worried about the bill over the bank holiday, but Douglas and everyone at the practice were just incredible and you can tell they love animals. I rave to everyone about how amazing the staff were and I only wish they were closer to us at home because I’d love to have them as our everyday vets. Zeus needed to go back over the 3 days we were away and I was so reassured throughout the whole process. Douglas even called on the Saturday night to make sure he was doing ok. Just so appreciative of how well Zeus was looked after and I can’t recommend enough x
