Farm Vets in Northumberland

Alnorthumbria Vets (Wagonway) describes itself as a mixed practice established in 1897, treating small animals as well as equine and farm animals, and it’s set up to handle urgent and complex cases alongside routine appointments. The website states 24-hour emergency care is available and staffed by the usual team of vets. Recent reviews repeatedly mention being seen quickly for emergencies (including out of hours), same-day procedures (an ear polyp removal), and frequent progress updates for hospitalized pets (including post-op phone calls overnight).

Robson & Prescott is a small-animal veterinary practice with ISFM Cat Friendly Clinic accreditation (Gold, Silver and Bronze status listed) and a Pet Health Club®/Pet Health Club® Plus scheme mentioned on its website (including consultations as part of the Plus plan). Recent reviews describe practical, day-to-day strengths: being seen at short notice, appointments running on time, and thorough “Pet Health Club” review checks. Owners also mention support around procedures and difficult end-of-life visits, including a sympathy card with a paw print after a cat died.

Morris and Plumley provides first-opinion veterinary care for both pets and farm animals, and is also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. The practice appears set up for day-to-day primary care plus time-sensitive problems: reviewers describe being fitted in within a few hours for sudden illness and pain, and one account mentions a vet examining a dog at the owner’s vehicle. A few practical touches come up repeatedly in what people notice—help transferring records from a previous vet, a “vaccination for life” scheme, and a rear garden/outdoor area for dogs (also mentioned on the website). Some reviewers explicitly compare it favourably against “bigger corporate vet businesses,” without stating any group ownership.

Cheviot Vets Ltd is not described in the available information as part of a larger corporate group. Based on the structured clinic data and owner comments, it appears set up to handle a mix of routine and urgent needs (emergency service is listed) and to see both pets and farm animals. Recent reviews repeatedly mention staff trying to fit pets in quickly when something needs looking at, practical treatments such as tick removal, and compassionate end-of-life support (including a named staff member, Becky). One reviewer praised the practice for easing their anxiety after a traumatic experience elsewhere, while another flagged costs as “staggeringly expensive,” despite otherwise positive service.

The Fold Farm Vets Ltd focuses on farm-animal work only (no companion-animal services are mentioned), covering species and setups including dairy units, pigs, sheep, and goats. The website states it provides 24/7 cover, 7 days a week, and lists proactive herd/flock support such as annual flock health reviews and routine diagnostic testing, alongside consultancy and training provision. The small set of available written reviews is consistently positive, with one reviewer specifically describing a “great team” that is “very friendly.” No corporate group ownership is indicated in the provided information.

Alnorthumbria Vets is a long-established mixed practice (established 1897) treating small animals as well as equine and farm animals, and it’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. The practice states it provides 24-hour emergency care via an on-call service staffed by their usual team of vets. In recent reviews, owners describe being seen quickly for urgent concerns (such as a new lump) and having options discussed without pressure toward expensive diagnostics; one owner specifically mentions choosing pain management and avoiding unnecessary treatment that would not improve quality of life. Experiences are mixed, though: there are also complaints about record accuracy affecting insurance and a serious allegation involving a vaccine being given to an unwell puppy during a student nurse appointment without a vet examination.

Alnorthumbria Vets is a mixed practice (small animals, equine and farm) that says it was established in 1897. The website also states they provide a 24-hour emergency service staffed by their usual team of vets, suggesting a continuity-of-care approach for urgent cases as well as routine work. From the latest reviews available to us, owners most often describe practical, pet-focused handling: a vet nurse introducing herself to a dog before treatment, staff taking time to listen, and support during stressful situations (including care for a poorly hen and help when someone brought in an injured young roe deer).

Old Stone Vets Allendale is part of Old Stone Vets (a multi-branch practice) and is now small-animal only (the website states they no longer cover farm, equine, or game birds). The practice describes providing consultations, vaccines, operations, and emergency care, with 24-hour emergency services available via their Alston branch. In the latest written reviews available to us, owners most often describe vets handling nervous dogs calmly, plus ongoing support after dental work on an elderly dog, and a gentle approach with a fearful rescue cat during a check-up and vaccinations.

Bearl Equine Clinic Limited is an equine practice (horses, ponies and donkeys) and is a proud member of the VetPartners group. Based on its stated services, it’s set up for both routine equine work and more advanced investigation/surgical cases—owners and yard clients mention a lameness case progressing to surgery, and the website lists diagnostic options like standing MRI and scintigraphy (bone scanning). Recent reviews also highlight practical service points such as fast booking for a 5‑stage vetting and a strangles test result turnaround within 24 hours. One review raises a non-clinical concern about a landlord’s attitude regarding parking during deliveries, which contrasts with otherwise very positive comments about the clinic team.
