Best Vets in Northallerton – Complete Local Guide

Bishopton Veterinary Group is a multi-species practice (pets, farm animals, pigs and equine) that has been providing animal care for over 80 years, and it’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Ownership (independent vs corporate group) isn’t stated in the available information, but reviewers reference more than one branch and a separate pet hospital within the same group. From the latest reviews, owners most often highlight very practical, appointment-level details: vets explaining treatment options clearly (including for a difficult-to-treat cat infection), checking medical notes in advance and spotting prescription anomalies from a previous practice, and gentle handling that helps anxious or “antisocial” pets cope. Dental work and same-day treatment planning for an ear infection are also specifically mentioned.

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).

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).

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.

Medivet – Northallerton East Road is part of the Medivet corporate group. The clinic’s own information suggests it’s set up for a wide mix of routine and more involved cases, with 15‑minute consultations, nurse clinics, and on‑site kit including an in‑house laboratory, X‑rays, ultrasound, an orthopaedic theatre, and ECG. They also state they see a broad range of animals (including cats, dogs, small mammals, horses and farm animals). From the latest reviews available, owners most often describe straightforward routine care (e.g., booster vaccinations and discussing/removing small lumps) and good handling of anxious pets (multiple mentions of dogs being put at ease). There is also a sharp conflict in experiences around urgent help: one older review alleges they could not get help when a dog was in pain overnight and challenges “24/7 call‑outs” messaging, while the clinic’s website states out‑of‑hours care is provided by a separate Medivet 24‑hour service.
