#3 Vet in Selby, North Yorkshire
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.

Hayloft vets; if I could give 10 stars I would. The best service I’ve ever had from a veterinary service and the fact they are mobile is worth its weight in gold. Cats generally don’t travel well and this element of trauma is already removed as our pets are treated in the comfort and security of their own home. Both the vets and nurses have provided comfort and calm when dealing with our cats if signs of stress have been demonstrated and when handling our youngest cat as she is incredibly timid. Reassurance has also been provided to my husband and I whilst treating our eldest cat, taking care to go through what’s happening with her health as she ages and making sure we are happy when setting up a treatment plan for her. Nothing is too much trouble for this company. They have provided me with follow-up calls to check everything is going ok with treatment plans. Amazing company: kind, compassionate, reassuring; everything a pet and its owner needs. Thank you so much for your service!

I cannot thank Hayloft Vets enough for their kind and compassionate service. We sadly had to have our lovely old Jack Russell PTS which was done at home. She was terrified of vets and they put her at ease, taking their time to make the experience stress free and peaceful, surrounded by those who loved her. Thank you Hayloft!

Hayloft Vets – A Deeply Distressing Experience I will not be using Hayloft Vets again, and I’m sharing this review so no other dog owner has to endure the stress and upset we experienced. The vet and nurse arrived at our home to administer my Labrador’s annual booster. From the moment they arrived, their approach lacked understanding, empathy, and professionalism. My dog, as expected, barked when the door was answered—a natural response to new visitors in his home. The vet immediately questioned his temperament and asked for a lead to calm him down. My dog, who is gentle and loving, calmly accepted the lead. Despite his cooperative behaviour, the vet insisted we go outside, and when my dog moved towards him in a friendly manner, he physically retreated, warning me to “get him under control” and said he didn’t want to spend his day in A&E. I reassured him that my dog wouldn’t harm him. Nonetheless, he continued with inappropriate comments implying aggression, painting my sweet-natured Labrador as a threat. What followed was a lecture on castration. I mentioned we were considering breeding him, and the vet responded bluntly that there are enough stud dogs out there and that Labradors are often euthanised due to hormone-driven aggression—especially around children. As a parent, I was horrified by these generalisations and the judgmental tone. His words felt more like scaremongering than professional advice. When it came time to give the vaccine, neither the vet nor nurse made any effort to build rapport with my dog. Instead, I was told to restrain him while the nurse came from behind, causing him to turn his head and make a sound—again, a perfectly normal reaction. The nurse then shouted “Hey!” at him. Even my son, sitting in another room, heard the outburst. What upset me most was the complete lack of compassion. They didn’t take a moment to understand my dog’s personality or to reassure him. He’s the gentlest soul—and deserved kindness, not fear-based handling. Dogs aren’t robots; they respond to energy, and unfortunately, theirs was cold and unwelcoming. I left the experience feeling shaken, saddened, and guilty for putting my dog through such tension. I will not be using Hayloft Vets again, and I sincerely hope they reconsider their approach before more dogs and owners are left feeling as we did.
