Best Vets in Chesterfield – Complete Local Guide

Spire Vets Ltd. is an independently owned small-animal practice offering first-opinion care. The website describes routine care plus surgery, hospitalisation, nurse clinics, and home visits, and states a 24-hour on-site emergency service for registered clients. Recent reviews include specific examples of end-of-life support (offering a paw print and a lock of hair) and emergency treatment (a vet spending time assessing a cat and dressing a tail wound). Reviews also show a split on value and clinical experience: some owners praise efficient care without “unnecessary” treatments, while a small number report concerns about cost vs what was done and dissatisfaction with outcomes and follow-up.

Prime Veterinary Practice is described in reviews as an independently owned small practice. Based on the clinic’s own service list and what owners mention, it appears particularly set up for dog breeding/reproduction work (including progesterone testing) alongside general medical and surgical care. Owners repeatedly describe clear explanations during appointments, efficient visits for testing and documentation, and willingness to reduce costs where possible (one review mentions the vet offering to switch medication to a cheaper but equally effective option). Out-of-hours help is also specifically mentioned, including a Sunday late-night call-out.

Vets4Pets Chesterfield Ravenside is a Vets4Pets-branded practice; the clinic website describes it as a “locally owned” practice. Based on the website and reviews, it’s set up for routine and diagnostic work (in-house lab tests, imaging, and dentistry) as well as procedures requiring day admission (owners mention leaving pets in for procedures and staff “check in on them as the day progresses”). Out-of-hours emergency cover is stated to be provided via Vets Now. Decision-relevant specifics owners mention include: - Clear explanations and time taken in consults (“explained carefully”, “took time to talk…in detail”). - Compassion around end-of-life care (euthanasia is specifically mentioned, as well as support “especially when one passes”). - A conflicting theme around follow-up and costs: one reviewer describes paying for urine-related testing/medication and then not being contacted with results, alongside feeling “upsold,” while other reviews say they don’t feel overcharged and trust the practice.

Chapel House Veterinary Practice Ltd is a small-animal clinic that (based on its website summary) lists strengths in dermatology, physiotherapy, internal medicine, surgery, and emergency critical care, and is also described in the structured clinic data as a veterinary nurse training facility with emergency veterinary services. Recent reviews most often highlight clear explanations during consultations, ability to fit in urgent appointments (including being seen within an hour), and thoughtful end-of-life support (including sending sympathy/commiserations cards). A recurring downside mentioned is waiting without proactive updates, even when the delay was due to an emergency case.

Croft Veterinary Centre describes itself as an independent, family-run practice (established 1992) with on-site diagnostics (including ultrasound, endoscopic imaging, radiography and in-house analysers) and a surgery offering that ranges from routine procedures to orthopaedic work. Recent reviews mention dental extractions (including “lots of teeth out” for a rare condition), care after a road traffic accident, and a case involving neutering with complications that an owner says healed “perfectly” over a month later. Experiences with costs are mixed: one recent reviewer describes fees and prescription charges as excessive, while other reviews focus on communication and care.
