Best Vets in North Yorkshire

Holmefield Veterinary Clinic Ltd offers general pet veterinary care, with a stated emergency service (24/7 or extended hours) and a “Pet Health Club” proactive healthcare plan mentioned on its website. Recent reviews describe vets explaining diagnoses and treatment options clearly, including a case where a rabbit was seen after official closing time and charged the daytime rate. Owners also mention the practice can handle larger/nervous dogs calmly (including a dog wary of men) and that staff can be helpful with insurance—though one reviewer reports being asked to pay a large amount upfront and claim back via insurance.

Your Family Vets describes itself as an independent, family-owned clinic, with facilities set up for small pets (including separate dog and cat waiting areas) and in-house imaging (X‑rays and ultrasound). The website lists both general and “advanced” surgery, and the practice is also a veterinary nurse training facility. From the latest reviews available, owners most often describe unhurried consultations (e.g., taking time to settle an anxious cat and “gain trust”), clear explanations (including decisions not to proceed with X‑rays when not needed), and practical follow-through such as sending symptom photos via WhatsApp. Specific treatments mentioned by owners include monthly arthritis injections for an older dog, a spay, and even a “pedicure” for guinea pigs.

Bainbridge Vets Ltd is presented in reviews as a practice that can handle urgent, same-day problems—several owners describe being seen immediately for time-critical issues (a dog that ate grapes, an injury, and a dog that was “really not well”). Multiple reviews also mention clear aftercare guidance (what to watch for and when to call again) and support with end-of-life decisions. Corporate ownership isn’t stated; one reviewer explicitly contrasts the experience with “before the big companies took over,” suggesting a more traditional, small-practice feel.

D A & D T Wittrick appears to be an independently run practice (reviews refer to “Mr Wittrick” and “the couple who run it”). Recent reviewers describe it as set up for practical, hands-on treatment without pushing extras—one owner says they “give what your pet needs not what they can push.” Concrete examples from the latest reviews include: - Removal of a dog’s cyst without needing a skin graft after another vet suggested a graft might be required, with the owner reporting a good recovery and “no scar”. - Seeing a dog with an ear infection late in the day and “no need for an appointment,” according to one reviewer. - Treating small animals as well as pets like cats and dogs (e.g., rabbit teeth trimming is specifically mentioned). - Providing support when contacted about a dog nearing end of life, even though the dog wasn’t an existing patient (as described by one reviewer).

Harrogate New Park Vets4Pets Ltd is a Vets4Pets practice that describes itself as locally owned, operating from a modern, well-equipped facility with in-house diagnostics and separate dog/cat wards. The clinic appears set up for both routine care and more involved cases: reviews mention urgent same-day help without an appointment, blood tests followed by a booked surgery (pyometra), and owners noting good availability. Out-of-hours emergencies are directed to Holly House Veterinary Hospital and Vets4Pets Leeds Birstall when the practice is closed. While most recent feedback is very positive about speed and reassurance, one recent review alleges a serious misdiagnosis and poor record-keeping.

Medivet Harrogate Oak Beck Way is part of the Medivet group and appears set up for routine preventive care alongside access to Medivet’s wider 24/7 emergency network. Owners specifically mention regular health checks (including 6‑month check-ups), parasite treatment during appointments (worm/tick tablets), and practical “hands-on” care such as anal gland expression. Reviews also highlight clear explanations of diagnoses and help with admin, including submitting Petplan insurance claims.

Mile House Veterinary Centre is a mixed-animal practice (farm animals, equine and small animals including dogs and cats) offering surgical facilities, home/yard/farm visits, and 24/7 emergency cover “at the surgery” year-round (with out-of-hours calls answered by a member of their own team, per the clinic’s site). It’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews focus heavily on routine surgery and communication: multiple owners describe very small-looking spay wounds and smooth recoveries, plus vets taking time to explain situations and options. One reviewer specifically says they prefer Mile House as an independent business (the clinic’s ownership/group isn’t stated on the site).

Open Wide Equine Dentistry (also referred to as Sally Kingsley Vet Equine Dentistry) is a dedicated equine dentistry practice established in 2017, described on its website as an RCVS Recognised Advanced practice in Equine Dentistry. The clinic appears set up for both routine and complex dental cases, with services and recent reviews frequently referencing tooth extractions (including fractured cheek teeth) and careful case-by-case decision-making. Across the latest reviews available, owners repeatedly mention: - Clear explanations during procedures (talking through findings, options, and aftercare). - Practical handling of difficult or sensitive horses, including adjusting sedation and taking time with nervous animals. - Follow-up support after extractions, when owners needed extra guidance. - Not pushing unnecessary work, with one review explicitly noting no sense of “fee building.”

Northallerton Vets4Pets Ltd is part of the Vets4Pets group (the website copy describes Vets4Pets as a nationwide chain). The structured clinic data also lists it as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. From the latest reviews available, owners most often describe straightforward consultations and ongoing care, with several mentions of vets explaining options clearly and advising on medicines. There’s also a negative account describing a cat being treated for a suspected bladder infection, involving an at-home urine collection kit, diet pellets and an injection that the owner felt was costly and stressful for the cat.

Ryedale Vets Pickering is a veterinary practice that offers emergency veterinary services (listed as 24/7 or extended hours) and is a veterinary nurse training facility. Reviews describe practical, problem-solving help in time-sensitive situations—such as providing urgently needed post-op pain relief medication when an owner realised they’d left it behind after a hospital discharge, and arranging a same-day appointment for a dog with a sore paw. Behaviour support is also mentioned: one reviewer reports medication advice that helped a dog with severe separation anxiety settle quickly. Several reviewers also highlight kindness from both the vet and nurse during an “unfortunate circumstance” visit.
