I find the vets nurses receptionists, all very professional the way they are looking after my dog is exceptional and also the support they give me is so reassuring, I'm so pleased with the whole experience, if you are looking for a vet practice I highly recommend Kingsway Skipton.

Had to make an emergency appointment as our dog was ill for a few days with no sign of any improvement. Thoroughly checked, medication given. Informed if no improvement within 24 hrs, contact the practice. Very satisfied with treatment, all staff friendly & efficient. It was very busy when we arrived & reception staff kept us informed as to when we'd be seen by one of the vets.

Contacted Kingsway vets to get a librela jab for my elderly spaniel whilst I was away from home. I had a prescription from my usual vet in Ireland so was a very simple matter of providing the drug and administering the injection. The good :- Pleasant reception staff and vet, easy to book an appointment pleasant surgery with easy parking. The bad:- THE PRICE I normally pay 90 euros (£78.78 sterling) for the monthly injection from my vet in Ireland here l payed £162.47 for the same injection (We were in the consultation room for just over 3 minutes) . I expected to pay more in the UK as it has a reputation for over the top veterinary costs but this price is nothing short of scandalous. If I need to seek veterinary treatment in the UK in future I will be sure to find an independent practice not corporate rip of merchants !!

Excellent experience. Professional, knowledgeable, friendly. We were on holiday in the area and needed a vet for our dog. Kingsway was recommended to us, and was perfect. Thank you.

When our dog sustained an injury recently we needed to visit the vet’s. The whole experience and process of initial urgent appointment to being referred onto a specialist hospital for surgery was excellent. All staff were compassionate and caring to us as owners and to our dog. Communication was brilliant in all aspects of explaining the injury, costings and the referral process for getting specialist treatment

Perfectly good practitioners. But being charged £70 for a short (less than 15 minutes) consultation, which was frankly unnecessary and simply to receive a referral for dog hydrotherapy treatment elsewhere, is unacceptable. Having been with Kingsway for many years, I'm being forced to look elsewhere.

I wholeheartedly recommend the team at Kingsway Veterinary Group. Our sweet little cat Molly sadly got hit by a car at the weekend. Luckily she survived but she was in a bad way and we didn’t know if we were going to lose her. We were able to get her seen immediately at Kingsway (on a Sunday) by Beth. Beth gently examined Molly and gave us an idea of what might have happened. After x-rays and tests Beth kept us informed of how she was throughout the day and let us know possible treatment options and approximate costs. We had more follow up calls on Monday, a meeting with the surgeon Steven and a very welcome visit to see Molly at the surgery. Steven clearly explained the whole process to me. Molly had broken her leg in two places. It needed plating and pinning in several places. Steven and the nursing team kept us informed of how things were before and after the operation and how Molly had got on overnight. I’m very pleased to say that Molly is now safely home where she belongs - just a day after the operation. As a family we can’t thank the whole Kingsway team enough for their kindness, their expertise and for keeping us fully informed throughout the process. We really appreciate it. Here is Molly before her accident.

One of the worst experiences possible was made slightly easier by the lovely vet & nurse that came to our home to help our dog pass (apologies I do not remember your names due to circumstance). After a brief phone call they rearranged things so they could come and put Evie down in the comfort of her own bed. It took them an hour to arrive, although i admit we didn’t want them to turn up it was best they did. Professional and kind. Thank you both.

I just wanted to say a huge thankyou to everyone who looked after out beautiful boy Gizmo when he crossed the rainbow bridge on the 24th of July. You where so kind, nothing was too much trouble, you gave us as much time as we needed before and after to say our goodbyes. Even when we where ready to leave you covered him with a blanket and one of the nurses sat with him until he was taken to be cremated, that was just such a sweet thing for you to do! You organised everything right down to Charlotte collecting him to be cremated and being able to pick his ashes up from the vets! Today we collected Gizmo's ashes which thanks to Charlotte was presented so beautiful. There was a beautiful card from everyone at the vets, you had taken the time do his paw prints, nose prints and save us some of his hair. These little things mean so much to us in such a sad time. We will forever remember your kindness, thankyou so much from us all ♥️

Excellent all round. The team on reception were so professional - especially as I had 5 pets to bring in at once. Really impressed by everything and would highly recommend. I used their service for Rabies TITRE/RNAT testing for travelling Pets to Australia from the UK and highly recommend as they are very specialist in this area.
