Specialist Vets in Bakewell

## Summary 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). ## Services Based on the latest reviews available to us, the clinic has been used for: - **Urgent same-day care** (example: a dog with a **seizure** was assessed quickly, with guidance on what to do). - **Chronic disease management** (example: **heart failure** in a border collie, with ongoing care over time). - **Medication and parasite treatment** (example: visit resulting in an **injection**, **cream**, **7 days of antibiotics**, and a **flea tablet**). - **Follow-up checks by phone** after urgent treatment (example: a vet called on a Saturday night to check how a dog was doing). ## People Named team members mentioned in reviews: - **Giles (Giles Bramwell)**: Credited with explaining what to do during a dog’s seizure and with long-term management of a dog’s heart failure; one owner felt this care contributed to additional quality time after diagnosis. - **Douglas**: Mentioned for urgent care over a bank-holiday period and for a proactive follow-up call on a Saturday night to check on a dog’s progress. - **William**: Described as friendly and clear in explanations during a consultation that included an injection and take-home treatments. Reception staff are also mentioned as “great,” and multiple owners say they felt listened to and not rushed in appointments. ## Reviews **4.7 stars from 225 reviews.** Themes below are drawn from the latest written reviews available to us. - **Fast help for urgent issues**, including a seizure where the owner says they were quickly seen and guided on what to do. - **Continuity for longer-term conditions**, with detailed praise for management of canine heart failure over an extended period. - **Communication and follow-up**, including vets explaining options and at least one example of an out-of-hours-style check-in call to see how a dog was doing. - **Refusals/eligibility disputes are reported by a minority**, including one review alleging refusal to treat a rescued cat without speaking to the abandoning owner, and another alleging refusal of a spay and removal from records due to the dog being described as part XL bully.
