Best Vets in Selby – Complete Local Guide

Selby Vets4Pets Ltd is part of the Vets4Pets chain (the clinic branding and website content are Vets4Pets). Based on reviews, the practice is frequently used for routine pet healthcare and repeat medications, with the team sometimes fitting pets in at short notice (for example, an end‑of‑day appointment for a dog’s large abscess, and a same‑day fast‑tracked flea/worm prescription when a household health risk was explained). However, a small number of reviews describe problems with communication and medication/prescription processes—specifically, not being clearly told why a flea/worm product was changed, not being given clear dosing instructions at collection, and frustration about being asked to book a paid consultation or have blood tests before repeats.

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.

Hayloft Mobile Veterinary Services Ltd is an independent, family-run mobile vet service, providing vet and nurse appointments at home. Based on the website and reviews, they’re set up for first-opinion small animal care plus a range of mobile diagnostics (including x‑rays and ultrasound) and routine procedures. Reviewers most often mention home visits reducing stress for cats, with examples including handling a very timid cat calmly, follow-up calls to check treatment plans, and at-home end-of-life care. One recent review strongly conflicts with this, describing a booster vaccination visit where the owner felt the team’s handling and comments about a dog’s behaviour were distressing.

Vetcare is described by a recent reviewer as a wholly independent veterinary practice. Reviews repeatedly mention a vet named Mauro and a small team who spend time explaining options and managing anxious or difficult-to-handle pets (for example, using patience, treats and cuddles to help nervous dogs through visits). Cases owners highlight include treating a cat’s serious eye problem with diagnosed drops, supporting a dog after tablet ingestion leading to kidney failure (reported full recovery), and routine care such as vaccinations and annual check-ups. One review strongly disagrees with the overall tone, describing poor communication and upsetting end-of-life comments during a visit for an older dog with back pain.

The Dam Veterinary Centre is a small-animal practice (email domain: cvsvets.com) offering routine care and surgery, with in-house diagnostics (lab, X‑ray, ultrasound) and an on-site dog-grooming parlour. It’s accredited as an RCVS General Practice, a Cat Friendly Clinic (Silver), and a Dog Friendly Clinic, and it’s also listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. In the latest reviews, owners repeatedly mention being seen quickly (including same-day appointments), clear explanations during exams, and post-op follow-up calls (e.g., after a spay).
