Dalehead Services LLP – Vets in Settle
Clinic Overview
Dalehead Services LLP (Dalehead Veterinary Group) describes itself as an independent practice for companion animals and farm livestock, with on-site facilities including an in-house lab, digital X‑ray, ultrasound, endoscopy, surgery, and inpatient care. The website also states it runs its own out-of-hours emergency service, aiming for clients to see a dedicated companion-animal or farm-animal vet.
From the latest reviews available to us, owners most often describe being fitted in despite the clinic being busy, thorough examinations with clear explanations, and planned follow-ups (for example, rechecks booked after an injury). Several reviewers also mention costs being explained and then kept to, and one explicitly notes the vet didn’t try to sell unnecessary items.

While on holiday in Langcliffe our 13year old border collie became unwell. On calling the vets the lovely Sarah Jane on reception thankfully made us an appointment despite the vets being really busy. The vet gave our dog a thorough examination, went through in detail what the problem could be. We cannot thank you enough for putting our minds at ease. Great service

I can not put into words how AMAZING the Vets here. I lost my darling Ranger earlier this year and am only ready now to post this review. Karen was the wonderful lady who took such genuine and wonderful care of my little girl. I have no words big enough to show my appreciation. The way she held Ranger was truly so gentle. Plus she was just as thoughtful and caring towards me and my friend. Thankyou so very much. The world is a much nicer world with Vets like Karen. Thankyou again.

This vet went above and beyond with the prompt care needed when our dog broke her leg while we were staying nearby. If we lived nearer i would move all my pets in to their care. It made a terrible experience much better. The costs were explained and adhered to very reasonably as well.
