Dog & Cat Vets in Greater Manchester

Pike Moor Veterinary Surgeons describes itself as an independent small-animal practice with 30+ years of experience. The website highlights routine care alongside advanced diagnostics and surgery, and they also offer 24/7 digital vet support via the VidiVet app. Recent reviews give concrete examples of the practice adapting appointments for anxious dogs (e.g., using a back door entry and doing vaccinations outdoors). Cat surgery is also specifically mentioned: one owner reports a cat spay with a post-procedure phone call from the vet to explain how it went. A small number of reviews raise a serious concern about confidentiality/data privacy, describing a past incident where an owner’s personal medical information was allegedly shared within the practice.

Queens Park Veterinary Surgery describes itself as privately owned, and reviewers also call it a “truly independent” practice. The clinic appears set up for continuity of care—the website says clients can request to see the same vet or nurse, and multiple reviews echo regularly seeing the same vet with consultations that “never feel rushed.” Owners also mention surgical care including a tooth extraction, with one reviewer noting the team helped sort out insurance paperwork. Out-of-hours cover is stated to be provided by Petmedics. Experiences with the main vet’s manner are mixed: several reviewers praise a “no nonsense straight talking approach,” while an older negative review describes the vet as rude/sarcastic and “heavy-handed,” leaving their dog distressed.

Wendy Lane Vets describes itself as a family-run, independent practice with over 40 years in operation. The website highlights a practice-run Pet Healthcare Plan (explicitly stated as not insurance) aimed at spreading routine-care costs, alongside routine and medical/surgical work. Recent reviews most often mention cat and dog care (including vaccinations/health checks, spay/neuter, and support with anxious pets), plus end-of-life care; one reviewer also describes treatment for guinea pigs including an eye issue. A small number of comments raise billing/charging confusion (a text about an unexpected balance) alongside otherwise positive experiences.

Mount Road Veterinary Surgery offers first-opinion care for cats and dogs, with in-house diagnostics (laboratory testing, x-ray and ultrasound) and RCVS Cat Friendly Clinic status. Reviews most often describe routine preventative visits (health checks and injections) plus common procedures like neutering, with several owners mentioning staff taking time to settle anxious pets before examinations or treatment. A few concrete examples from recent reviews include early appointment starts when it was quiet, discussion of a “Pet Health Club” option versus paying as you go, and supplement advice (YuMove) for mobility support in an older cat.

Yew Tree Veterinary Surgery is an RCVS General Practice established in 1956 and set up as a small-animal clinic (dogs, cats and small mammals including rabbits and guinea pigs). The website highlights in-house diagnostics (lab work plus ultrasound and X‑ray), routine care (vaccines, parasite control, nurse clinics) and surgery, including a soft-tissue surgery referral service. From the latest reviews available, owners most often mention supportive handling for anxious or disabled dogs, and at least one detailed surgical case (tail amputation) with good recovery reported. A minority of reviews raise concerns about cost and follow-up on complaints, including one report of an ear infection visit costing £199 with the owner saying the treatment worsened the problem and that a refund was declined after a delayed reply.

Romiley Veterinary Clinic describes itself as a privately owned, independent, family-run veterinary surgery established in 1995. The website lists routine healthcare (vaccinations, health checks, microchipping) alongside in-house medical/surgical facilities, and reviews repeatedly mention breeding-related surgery: multiple C-sections, a spay, and follow-up care for puppies. Several owners also say they weren’t pushed into extra tests or higher bills, while one recent 1‑star review appears unrelated to the clinic’s veterinary care (“Birds shouldn’t be in cages”). Concrete specifics supported by the latest reviews include: C-sections carried out (including one described as out-of-hours on a bank-holiday weekend), a neonatal surgery where a puppy was operated on for intestines outside the body, and routine procedures like microchips and injections.

Rochdale Vets4Pets Ltd is part of the Vets4Pets chain and is described on its website as a locally owned practice that is taking new clients. The clinic appears set up for routine and investigative work, with an in‑house laboratory, digital X‑ray and ultrasound, plus separate cat and dog wards and an isolation unit. From the latest reviews available to us, experiences are mixed: some owners describe friendly staff, short waits and helpful advice (including a staff member helping choose medication for a cat’s scabby neck), while others report concerns about communication and decision-making—such as being told a kitten would need a heart scan (quoted as around £1000) before neutering, and a separate account describing an appointment where the owner felt the vet didn’t understand a sphynx cat’s needs.

Abbeywood Veterinary Clinic Ltd describes itself as an independent clinic, with an experienced resident vet and over 20 years of service stated on its website. Recent reviews suggest it’s set up for urgent, fast-turnaround care, with multiple owners describing out-of-hours help arranged by text, including for people who weren’t registered at the time. Concrete examples from the latest reviews include: - Being squeezed in out of hours for a dog with an injured paw, with the owner saying pain was addressed and the pet wasn’t left suffering. - Emergency surgery out of hours described as “saved my best friend.” - Treatment for vomiting and severe diarrhoea starting within half an hour, continued over 3 days. - Follow-up by text and photos to check progress after treatment. There is also a clear negative report from one reviewer who says they messaged about a bleeding abscess and were ignored, and they changed vets.

Bury Road Veterinary Clinic is part of the Regan Veterinary Group (small-animal practice). The clinic offers routine care (vaccinations, parasite control, neutering) alongside dentistry, diagnostics and surgery, and is listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. In reviews, owners mention practical arrangements such as a separate/back door for reactive dogs, and specific procedures including cat neutering and vaccination plus a full health check. Feedback is mixed on cost and sales approach: some describe “good prices,” while others describe being “very expensive” and feeling upsold, including around after-death arrangements.

Valentines Vets has been caring for pets since 1987 and operates as a group practice (with the former Jackson & Nuttall practice now part of the group as this branch). Based on the website, the clinic is set up for routine and diagnostic work (including imaging and in-house lab testing), and owners’ reviews repeatedly describe careful handling of anxious pets and supportive end‑of‑life care. Concrete details owners mention include: - Offering quieter appointment times and working “at the dog’s pace” for an anxious, reactive senior dog. - Vets (notably Lynne/Lynn and Olivia) taking time to explain options and answer questions clearly. - End-of-life appointments described as “peaceful, calm and dignified.” - Reception described as efficient with registration; one reviewer notes the reception area feels “cold and clinical” despite being clean and spacious.
