Derwent Valley Vets Ltd is a veterinary clinic that (per its own site) offers routine preventive care alongside specific clinics such as dental clinics and weight-loss programmes, plus procedures like microchipping and keyhole speying. Reviews add detail that the practice is used for both routine appointments (e.g., puppy first visits) and more complex work-ups: one owner describes blood tests and an ultrasound followed by same-day surgery after a rapid discussion of options. Several reviewers also highlight practical touches such as follow-up phone calls after the weekend and accommodating end-of-life care at home at short notice.

Our Score (72/100)
From the latest reviews available, owners most often describe being able to see the same vet over time (helpful for nervous dogs), and mention specific staff members (Bethany and Chris) for ongoing care. One review raises a clear policy/communication complaint: a client paying £18/month for flea and worming says they were told they needed to pay for a consultation before being supplied because the dog hadn’t been seen “in so long,” and describes the interaction as rude and money-driven.
