Best Vets in Thirsk – Complete Local Guide

Medivet 24 hr Thirsk - Skeldale Veterinary Centre is part of the Medivet group and is set up for around-the-clock emergency care as well as routine appointments. The website states a nationwide overnight emergency consultation fee of £130 (7pm–9am). In recent reviews, owners describe pets being seen quickly for emergencies, diagnostics such as scans and X‑rays being carried out, and surgery performed within hours in at least one urgent case. Several reviews also mention updates during hospital stays (including phone updates and allowing visits after work), while one reviewer reports an emergency consultation where communication and cost explanations felt unclear and rushed.

Thirsk Veterinary Centre describes itself as an independent small-animal practice. From the website and recent reviews, it appears set up for routine preventative care and in-house diagnostics, with multiple owners also describing dental work and even complex surgery for very small pets. Concrete details mentioned by clients include: - Clear explanations and options given during consultations, including one case where treatment continued over 6–8 weeks. - Dental treatment for a small dog, with the owner noting a fast recovery afterwards. - Intricate, lifesaving surgery performed on a Syrian hamster, supported by a team of nurses. - At least one review flags cost: a £150+ bill in under 15 minutes for a rabbit appointment and a cat check-up, despite still rating the care highly.

Bishopton Veterinary Group is a multi-species practice (pets, farm animals, pigs and equine) that’s been providing animal care for over 80 years. Recent reviews repeatedly mention calm, clearly-explained consultations and a willingness to include owners in treatment decisions—one owner highlighted that vets listened to their views on “treatment pathways” rather than pushing a single plan. Specific care described includes post-op checks after a midline spay (with the wound described as “clean and neat”), rabies vaccination, and dedicated eye consultations with an external ophthalmology service (Veterinary Vision / Visionary Vets), including “necessary tests” and clear explanations of outcomes. The practice also offers a “Lifetime Care Club” (details and pricing not stated) and is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility.

North Paws Rehabilitation Referrals is a veterinary rehabilitation facility focused on pain management and rehab for dogs, with treatments including hydrotherapy and laser therapy. Based on the website, it’s set up as a dedicated rehab centre (rather than a general vet practice), with a swimming pool, an underwater treadmill, and Class 4 K-Laser equipment; it also states ACPAT-registered physiotherapy. In reviews, owners repeatedly describe tailored treatment plans for mobility and post-surgery recovery—examples include prehab before a TPLO and rehab afterwards, plus support following cruciate surgery and an Achilles tendon repair. Several reviewers mention staff helping dogs build confidence with water over time (from being “afraid of the water” to “can’t wait to go for his swims”) and giving practical home/routine changes alongside in-clinic sessions.

Beningbrough Equine Veterinary Practice is an equine-focused veterinary service (as indicated by the practice name and website). From the limited written feedback available, owners mention “great service,” but the reviews we can see are very brief and don’t describe specific treatments, facilities, or case types. Corporate-group ownership isn’t stated in the information provided.
