“Arrived for vaccine appointment. Dealt on time no long wait. Vet checked puss over eyes teeth weight and heart before administering vaccine. Talked to my puss just as I do to reassure her through the appointment. Gave some good advice on relieving travel stress. Puss went home feeling quite content.”

“They were really good with my doggy, she had an infection and they were so careful with her, after one week with antibiotics she is completely fine now. I'll definitely choose them as our veterinary for Freya.”

“Any pets we've taken here have had an excellent experience and prompt and effective care. As far as we know, they're an independent outfit and not part of some large conglomerate, which may also account for their reasonable pricing. The only thing to watch is the parking in their yard, which can be tight and awkward, but you can usually park further away if it's a problem.”

“We have used Shearbridge Vets for over 20 years with various pets. They’re always caring, compassionate, doing the best for the animal and discussing the issues realistically. They’re give you the pros and cons of each procedure and test, advising on what is best for the animal while also considering the cost - which is unfortunately a factor we all have to consider. This company only want to do what’s best for pets and their families, they have never advised a test “just because” for profit, only for the animal’s benefit. I trust and recommend these vets to anyone who is interested / needs a vet. Whether it’s a check over or an emergency they’ve always been 100%, and we have had a couple of emergencies - including a house fire where the pets involved needed an urgent check up and were seen almost immediately. Thanks Shearbridge, I’ll be back next week!”

“This is a very lovely little vets surgery. Staff are amazing supportive even to somone who are not registered to them. Compassionate and sympathetic to me about my pet who was looking like he needed to be put down. Luckily he pulled though and is doing very well now. Would recommend”

“I have been a client of the Avenue Vets for 50 years, initially in Saltaire and now at Bingley. They are a lovely team and take good care of my waifs and strays that I take on.”

“Terry was wonderful and put Elsa our golden retriever at ease as soon as we went into the room. It was clear from his approach that his main focus was Elsa and ensuring she was ok. Terry immediately put mine and my husband’s minds at ease after giving Elsa a thorough check over - it’s so comforting to know we have a vet that we trust and who has a real, genuine care for animals. Thank you Terry!”

“Really helpful staff, always friendly and calm. Can see they care about the animals. I'm a new cat owner and everyone here is really understanding.”

“My dog was due for a 6 monthly checkup and annual vaccinations, as well as a Citapoint injection and the administration of her flea and wormer tablet (which she won’t take from me). We received a warm welcome at the Reception Desk, with hugs and treats for my dog, and an excellent session with vet Stuart Black, who made my dog feel very much at home in the surgery, and not only conducted the procedures very efficiently, but gave very helpful nutritional advice.”

“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”

“TOOK MABEL MY FRENCH BULL DOG TO BRIGHOUSE VETS ITS AN EXCELLENT VETS VERY FRIENDLY AND HELPFULL WOULD HIGHLY RECOMEND SORRY FOR MABELS BEHAVOIR IN WAITING ROOM SHE LIKES TO BE HEARD HA STEVE AMBLER”

“Was referred here by my vets as my Labrador Arnie has 2 different cancers in 3 places. The care from ALL the staff has been brilliant. I cannot thank them enough for the attention they give Arnie. Pulling up to the vets Arnie gets over excited in the car and drags me through the door and knows exactly where he’s going. The staff seem equally as excited to see him. We have to visit quite often as he had 5 rounds of chemo, with blood tests a week later and a couple of CT scans thrown into the mix too. We have been there almost every Monday for the last 4 month and every time is exactly the same level of excitement for both Arnie and the staff. For all the medical treatment that Arnie goes through, the fact that he still gets excited to be at the vets is only testament to the personal treatment of Arnie. Especially Giulia! The way she treats Arnie and the way he acts around her is amazing. When ever I am faced with options on treatment I have absolutely no hesitation in taking Giulia’s recommendation. She treats Arnie as her own so I am entirely confident in her recommendations. I’d honestly prefer not to hear the options available but only her opinion as that is what I would go with 100% of the time. I honestly hope nobody reading this has ever a need to go see them. But if unfortunately you need their services then stop reading and call them up. Theirs no where else I would ever go to so long as Giulia and the team are still there.”

“Amazing staff! Taken my dog a few times over the past few weeks. Even with the restrictions, they made us both feel welcome. After the cancer diagnosis they were warm, friendly and knowledgeable explaining next steps in a way i could understand.”

“I brought my cat in to be neutered and couldn’t be happier with the care we received. The staff was professional, compassionate, and clearly experienced. They made sure to explain the procedure thoroughly and answered all my questions with patience and kindness. The surgery went smoothly, and my cat was back to his usual self in no time. I really appreciated the follow-up instructions and how easy it was to reach out with any post-op concerns. It’s clear they truly care about the well-being of their patients. Highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for quality veterinary care!”

“Had to take our collie to the Burnley practice, this morning, and kind of "knew" that we wouldn't be bringing him home. We don't know the name of the vet who dealt with us, a really young guy, who was lovely to deal with. He was gentle and kind with our dog, and sympathetic, respectful and clear with his explanations to us. We were obviously upset but he made the process as bearable as these things can be. I hope he gets to read this review, or at least is told about it. He's a credit to the practice, and needs to be held on to (take note, managers). A kind professional, good with upset clients and lovely with animals - Burnley's James Herriot”

“Fabulous staff! So helpful and clearly adore their patients. The vet was very understanding and gave me some excellent advice. Receptionist was wonderful and smiley. Only issue is parking, but not much can be done about that!”

“The staff are amazing, caring people. The vets very knowledgeable. Have been coming here over 30 years.”

“Had a fantastic service when I took my baby dog Pebs to the vets she was very old with dementia and they were extremely patient with her I recommend this place to everyone the staff are so friendly and the place is always extra clean Thankyou to everyone who works there”

“I've read the reviews about this Veterinary practice and I personally have nothing but praise for our Cleckheaton branch. Our little dog Odie was diagnosed with diabetes 19 months ago and with the vets and all staff (especially Stacey) Odie was happy and comfortable until the end. I can't praise the vet at Morley (Hazal) enough, she was so good with Odie at the end, she had tears in her eyes and the 2 nurses who put Odie's canula in where so kind, they spoke gently to Odie all the time. They couldn't do enough and where so caring and sympathetic and nothing was rushed, we where allowed as much time as we needed. When we went to collect Odie's ashes, the presentation was so thoughtful and again Stacey was kind and gentle, allowing us the time we needed to enable us to take him home. A big thank you from our hearts to all the staff involved in Odie's care from him being a puppy until his peaceful sleep.”

“Met with Vet Rory who was one of the best vets I have seen in a long while. Took time to listen, was lovely with my 12 year old dog, Elvis, didn't recommend any unnecessary procedures, talked me through my options and gave advice on each one. I didn't feel rushed (even though they were busy) and came away feeling much hopeful for my older animal getting what he needs”

“I visited Calder vets in Mirfield today for my bunny. The service provided by the veterinarian and receptionist were amazing. My rabbit was treated by Iwona who was so kind and helpful, and I could clearly see she cared about peaches (my bunny). Amazing service I couldn’t be more satisfied x”

“The lady in the groom room today (fri13thjan2023) was very helpful and patient with my super nervous dog. Thank you for all your help. My dog really struggles having his claws trimmed and you were really helpful and caring towards him. He gets very stressed easily and you kept him at mostly at ease. He got a new toy and has forgotten all about it now. Hopefully next time will be easier for us all but I am confident he is in safe hands. Here again today (13th May 2024) groom room were great as always and special shout out to Jordan at the tills for helping with a problem over the phone to the flea service. Great customer service. Thanks again!”

“Since moving vets this is the first time I have had to bring one of dogs. He is usually a very nervous dog but right away, we were met by friendly staff who put ourselves and Archie at ease. This was continued when we met the vet who made archie feel comfortable, didn't try to push products on us, explained possible treatments and costs, and was knowledgeable and friendly throughout. We ledt feeling like even the vet had Archies best interests in mind opposed to trying to rack up the highest bill. Best vets visit since he was a pup, now he's 8! Would definitely recommend.”
