Vets At Bretby – Vets in Burton On Trent
Clinic Overview
Vets At Bretby is a new, independently owned practice (opened in March 2025) in a purpose-built facility with separate cat and dog waiting areas and dedicated dental, surgical and isolation spaces. The clinic presents itself as set up for both routine care and higher-acuity work, with in-house ultrasound, digital x‑ray and laparoscopy, and it states it can handle emergencies and provide critical care.
Recent reviews describe hands-on surgical and medical care with structured follow-up: owners mention neutering with a free pre‑op check and two included post‑op follow-ups, plus rapid support when a dog was uncomfortable after surgery. Owners also report treatment for an eye ulcer, management of an ongoing skin condition with prescribed tablets, and appointments for a tortoise—suggesting they’re seeing a wider range of species than dogs and cats.

Great vets… very caring and supportive, happy to help with any problem. I can’t thank vets at bretby enough for all there hard work and 2 op they have done for my cockapoo and I left very comfortable leaving her with them, the after care was brilliant and always on the end of the phone for any questions. Would highly recommend to all my family, friends and customers.

I recently found myself struggling to get an appointment for my tortoise, Flash, at any of my local vets. Vets at Bretby were the only practice able to accommodate us quickly, and I’m so glad they did. Flash was seen promptly on both visits, and the two vets we met were absolutely fantastic, knowledgeable, gentle, and genuinely caring. The experience has been so positive that I’m now seriously considering moving my four cats over to Vets at Bretby as well. The only thing giving me pause is the extra distance compared to my current practice, but the level of care we received for Flash has definitely set a new standard. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a practice that truly goes above and beyond.

Our two new puppies have been looked after really well by Kieran and his team. They have not got off to a good start but thanks to them they’re on a full road to recovery. ❤️🩹 cannot highly recommend them enough.

I took my daughter’s cat to Vets at Bretby to get her vaccinated and microchipped, and we were so impressed with the care we received. The team were incredibly kind. Not just to the cat, but to my daughter as well, making the whole experience calm and positive. It’s such a lovely place, and we felt really well looked after.

I can’t recommend Vets at Bretby enough. My furry baby, Portia, has a skin condition and Kieran, the head vet, has been absolutely brilliant. He really knows the breed and explained everything clearly. The tablets he prescribed has made such a difference and is keeping it under control. I’ve had some not-so-great experiences with other vets in the past, but these guys are fantastic. Genuinely caring and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

I brought my two small dogs here for their neutering procedures, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. The clinic is conveniently located inside a garden center, which made the visit surprisingly pleasant—and parking is free and easy, which is a huge plus! Before the surgery, the clinic offered a free pre-operative check to ensure both dogs were suitable candidates. The vet and nurses were incredibly attentive and gentle throughout the process, and both surgeries went smoothly. After the operation, there were two follow-up appointments included, which gave me great peace of mind. One of my dogs experienced some discomfort post-surgery, and the vet immediately arranged a consultation. The diagnosis was free of charge—only the medication was billed. I truly appreciated their professionalism and warm-hearted approach. During the post-op checkups, the nurse was meticulous and caring, examining every detail to make sure both dogs were recovering well. My dogs felt comfortable and safe in this environment, which speaks volumes about the clinic’s atmosphere and staff. I wholeheartedly recommend this veterinary clinic to anyone looking for skilled, compassionate care. It’s one of the best I’ve encountered—and the free parking makes visits even easier!
