I hadn't realised my dog was in pain with her tooth until we had it fixed by Bob Partridge at Vet Dentist, but the difference when she came home with a new root canal was amazing. It had been easy to dismiss her panting as being too hot, her inability to settle as being excited and her lack of interest in food as being bored. They were all signs of pain. I am so glad we could get her sorted out and now she is full of vigour and fun. Thanks to the team at Vet Dentist

George the vet was very professional. He explained everything in great detail when our dog Cain needed his tooth out due to a fractured tooth. He went through options just in case our first option couldn't be done. On picking Cain up he went through the procedure again in great detail showing us the xrays and pictures of Cains mouth. When we took Cain for a check up at our regular vets the week after she commented on what a great job George had done. Nicola also got in touch a couple of times checking on Cains progress. Very professional would definitely recommend. Thank you to George and the team.

Such a friendly and caring team. Our lab had to undergo extensive dental surgery and we were understandably nervous , however the team treated our dog as one of their own and gave us lots of information and reassurance. The procedure was carried out beautifully and the aftercare was fantastic with regular check ins. 10/10 would recommend.

I would highly reccomend Vet Dentist at Harrogate! My boy, Simba recently had his tooth proceedure done by the wonderful staff at Vet Dentist, Harrogate. After suffering from trauma due to an accident when he was younger, he developed enamel damage and due to him being a young dog, I wanted to try salvage the tooth, if it was safe to do so. I got a referral from my usual vets and was guided through the process by the wonderful receptionist/administration team member, Nicola via email. Admittedly, I was incredibly anxious about the whole situation, I knew it needed to be done and would never set my dogs up to suffer, I was more worried about it because I'd never had anything like this happen, didn't know how Simba would do, or had to deal with a claim through an insurer before. I was reassured by all and my request to have an initial consultation before the procedure so I could get an idea of full costs, the environment, what had to be done to send to my insurer the info and expose my boy to the environment was so SO appreciated. I also requested to stay with Simba as he got sedated/once he was droozy on the day. All of my requests were kindly met and respected, I was reassured by the staff and the wonderful vet George, who was so patient with me and simba. All of it was all in Simbas' best interest as he was pretty happy going in, cooperative, settled well and apparently wasn't panicked when he came around from the procedure. I was given a coffee upon waiting, had lovely chats with Nicola (it was lovely to meet in person). I wasn't rushed or anything which helped so much. The follow up care was all discussed and given to me written, to ensure I could care for Simba well afterwards and make sure he had a check up with my vets afterwards. I also recieved follow up emails and calls to check in on Simba. In conclusion and upon reflection, I think to myself why was I so worried as Simba and myself were cared for so efficiently. If anyone needs specialised care for their dogs teeth, I'd 110% reccomend the wonderful team at Harrogates Vet Dentist, I honestly can't thank you all enough. Simba looks and feels so good and he has a reassured, greatful mummy too. Kindest regards, Sally & Simba x

My 4 year dog Buddy fractured a tooth and once I was aware of it I took him to my local vet. I was referred to Vet Dentist in Harrogate by my vet in Saltburn as my vet could only offer an extraction as a treatment but alternative a treatment was possible. My vet contacted the Vet Dentist and referred Buddy. They contacted me later the same day and a provisional appointment made. They advised me at that point that because of the distance we were travelling it would be likely that Buddy would undergo treatment the same day. From the greeting awaiting us at the door, it was obvious that thought and care had been given and that personal touch made a positive impression on my as an owner. We were seen immediately and Buddy given a thorough examination. Having watched the video the practice sent to me prior to our appointment, I knew the level of quality and level care were exemplary. I also learned that there are only 6 small animal dental specialists offering this service in the country, the other 5 being in the south of the country. Mr.Partridge the only specialist in the North of England. How fortunate are we! Mr Partridge was very reassuring and I knew Buddy was in safe hands and whatever treatment was necessary, his welfare and comfort was the priority. I was given a plan of action, signed the necessary consent forms and left the rest to Bob and his team. Nicola in reception was SO kind thought the day as I opted to remain on the premises whilst Buddy underwent his treatment. The plan needed to be altered but I was consulted about the options available and put my trust in Mr. Partridge doing what, in his judgement was best for my dog. Buddy was handed over to me after he recovered from the anaesthetic later in the day and I was allowed to take him out to toilet and sit with him in the reception area until they were satisfied he was good to go. I was given meds and detailed instructions of the next steps and post operative care. Buddy had no issues post surgery. Was in no pain later in the evening. Had a light meal of scrambled following the advice given. He manages the stairs, a leap onto the bed and slept through until morning. This morning his normal self, though obviously mindful that his mouth will be sore. Pain relief and antibiotics administered, again following the detailed guidance given by Bob and a written copy just in case I should forget anything. I can’t thank the team enough for the care of Buddy. Velcro dog and other than his daily walk and fortnightly hydro session, he never leaves my side. My dog is my life having waited 65 years to get him. I was really apprehensive and anxious prior to our appointment. However, having met Bob those concerns were completely blown away. He was so kind, so understanding and so professional in explaining every step and the options, my fears evaporated. We are back in two months to have the second part of the root canal procedure undertaken. I now have a totally different mindset. Not in the least bit apprehensive or anxious about taking him and mentally prepared for the next step. And once again I’d like to thank Nicola in Reception who was kindness itself and made sure I had a cup of tea to keep me going throughout the day. Seems a small thing in many ways, but showed thought and kindness and was appreciated. Pleased that I asked if there were alternative dental treatments available other than extraction at my local vet. If Bob agreed with their diagnosis and extraction was the best procedure for the dog then at least Buddy now was in the best place to get the best care by a great team of experts looking after him every step of the way. Safe hands folks. Safe hands.
