Dog & Cat Vets in Glossop

## Summary Ashdale Veterinary Centre is a small-animal practice where recent reviews describe both urgent, walk-in style care and more routine medical work. Owners give concrete examples of pets being treated immediately on arrival (a severe bee-sting reaction with concern about airway swelling) and dental trauma being identified (a cat with three broken teeth) and managed with follow-up reassurance. However, other reviews raise serious concerns about access and communication: repeated phone calls to get through, and one account of an appointment being refused after the owner stated their dog was an XL Bully. There is also a highly negative report alleging repeated reassurance during episodes of collapsing, followed by the pet dying two weeks later. ## Services Services and situations mentioned in the available information include: - Urgent same-day treatment for acute reactions (severe bee sting with worries about airway constriction; treated immediately after arrival). - Assessment and treatment for oral/dental injuries (sore mouth; three broken teeth identified after suspected trauma). - Medical consultations and prescribing (tablets given for a cough in a case where a dog was repeatedly collapsing, per one reviewer). ## Reviews **Google rating: 4.0 stars from 127 reviews.** **Themes below are drawn from the latest written reviews available to us.** - **Rapid urgent care is specifically praised**: one owner reports being accepted at the door and treated immediately for a severe bee-sting reaction, with improvement the same afternoon. - **Dental/oral problems were identified and managed**: a cat with a sore mouth was found to have three broken teeth; the owner describes reassurance from reception through to the vet visit and a good outcome at home. - **Access issues by phone**: one reviewer says it can be “good when you can get a hold of them,” but describes needing to call repeatedly and not being able to leave a message for a callback. - **Refusal of an appointment based on breed is alleged**: one owner says an appointment was initially offered, then refused after they mentioned their dog was an XL Bully, and that the call ended abruptly. - **A serious negative clinical outcome is reported**: one reviewer alleges multiple visits for collapsing episodes where they were told the dog was fine, followed by the dog dying two weeks later.
