A New Year’s Eve visit for what ended up being a very expensive brownie. The staff were lovely and accommodating when our naughty dog helped themselves to a little sweetie treaty! They treated our dogs with great kindness and were quick to help us out.

Ryedale Vets are fantastic every single time. The team is caring, professional, and always take the time to explain things clearly. Appointments are quick and efficient without ever feeling rushed, and they genuinely put the animals’ wellbeing first. A friendly, reliable service that gives you complete confidence your pets are in the best hands.

The day before we left for our break in Helmsley our pup, Rosa, was run into by another dog and hurt her chest. I called Ryedale vets and spoke to Jo who was absolutely lovely and whilst the surgery was sadly having to deal with an emergency she still took the time to take my details and let me know she would call me back if we could get an appointment, at short notice. Well Jo did call me back and we were able to be seen by Erica who prescribed some pain relief. Thanks again to Erica and Jo for all your help.

Have been with ryedale vets for over 8 years now. We are at the practice regularly for our boy Cody! We have seen most of the vets and nurses and all are the same, they go above and beyond. We couldn’t ask for more. Cody has had hospital stays, blood transfusions, acupuncture to name a few treatments. He still is so happy to walk through that door. So thankful to all the team for all they do!

We moved to Ryedale vets around 3 years ago, one of the clearest reasons was if and when the horrendous time came with our animals we wanted them to be safe, a practice that was known for it’s love of animals. Our worst nightmare came true recently and thank goodness we made this decision to move. The entire team at Ryedale, both the Pickering and Helmsley sites loved Teddy, did everything possible to save him and provide the kindest care for him. His last day was filled with love, kindness, empathy and care and what more could we ask for! The entire team are incredible, we are utterly grateful to everyone for Teddies last few years. Our dogs are our family and thank goodness we moved to this vets as other than him being ours - it’s the best thing we did for Ted. He was a real character, thank you everyone for the years of care, understanding and love you gave to Ted, especially his last days.
