The 30 Best Pets in Barnsley

“We've just had our first 1 to 1 with Jo, she is a fantastic trainer and a lovely person, the session and follow up is great value as Jo packs a lot in. I feel much more confident that I can get Teddy to walk better and behave around people and other dogs, we'll be attending other classes too. The unit at Outward Hound is spacious and safe and perfect for training, Jo is very, very knowledgeable. I highly recommend you get the life skills book from Jo as it gives you something to work towards, it's a very professionally made booklet and a bargain price. Thanks for all your help and guidance Jo. Regards Wayne and Teddy.”

“My mini poodle Hydi had the best time at the groomers she looked perfect and definitely made friends for life, will not take her anywhere else amazing ladies.”

“Huge range of pet products, great prices. Excellent VFM. Well worth a visit\browse. First choice when buying pet food\bedding or other pet related products.”

“My friend recommended pet repair vets for my African grey as we encountered our first emergency.From my first phone call to them, I knew my boy was going to be in good hands! I have owned animals all my life and been to various vets, Never have I ever come across a veterinary surgery, that have the same care for your pet as you do! I honestly can not thank all the staff at pet repair vets enough for their love and care for myself and my boy. It was by far the best experience I have ever had with a veterinary team. Once again thank you so so much to you all from Leigh & Rocky.”

“Barnsley Bunny Boarding is amazing! They really care about the rabbits in their care and it shows in everything they do. They are caring and hard working. My bunnies love it there. Thanks so much. X”

“Took my cockapoo they were very friendly and did a great job.”

“Brilliant shop been going here for 6+ years never had any problems all my reptiles, fish ect have been healthy. Any advice about care or how to tend to your animals needs are taken care of while there, they are great at sourcing any animals/products you want also if they don’t have them in stock whilst there. I’ll always take my business to Dave and Sarah great all around shop not one to be missed, great prices would recommend anyone to go beginner or more advanced keepers.”

“Very friendly gentleman. Good knowledge and great prices. Highly recommend”

“Georgia went the extra mile to be helpful today really made the experience stand out, I hope Cooke’s values good staff like Georgia”

“We are are regular customers at the Dewsbury branch, but when our dog became ill overnight we took her down to the 24hr hospital at Barnsley at 2.00am on a Sunday morning. From the first phone call when we were given a prompt appointment, to discharge a couple of days later, all the staff were wonderful. As Poppy had been admitted due to the severity of her condition, we were kept regularly updated at every stage of her treatment, and we're advised to call at anytime should we feel the need to.( Which we did on a couple of occasions) The staff were lovely and kind and as well as bringing Poppy back to health, they were also so reassuring with us too as it is very worrying and stressful when your pet is unwell. When these things happen, although it's never a factor as most people will do anything for their pet, Money is always at the very back of your mind. This is where Animal Trust Vets score another 5 stars!!! Their out of hours consultation fee is less than one third of our closest vets practice, and overall charges are similarity reasonable. Poppy is getting back to her old self, and we are overwhelmingly appreciative of all the Barnsley staff for their help,care and understanding.”

“They understand and sympathise with everyone's different needs. I have severe mobility issues which means I cannot control my pooch as well as walk with a rollator frame, so due to this the vet comes to me in the car park to my car, which is more comfortable and less stressful for my dog as well so thankyou very much for understanding. The staff are all top class and very professional polite and kind.”

“Took our 2 dogs here today, they have done a fantastic job will be using again 100%. Staff friendly and helpful and my dogs look a million dollars. Thank pet prim and trim.”

“Wide choice of food and toys and accessories for your pet ,I have found all staff to be friendly, knowledgeable and helpful should you need any help in the store”

“Been with this vets on and off for several years now and all of the vets and nurses I've seen here are very kind, caring and professional. The receptionists are very good and will go out of their way to help with appointments and queries. The Practice Manager is very pro-active and can often be seen in the background supporting staff members in what can only be described as very busy and at times possibly stressfull enviroment for staff members. She is very passionate and caring and a strong manager. They are open 24/7 and their prices are very reasonable in comparison to other vets, although administration fees for dispensing medications can be around £16 per item, (bearing in mind that almost all vets charge this not just Barnsley Vets for pets) plus the cost of the medications, some of which can be bought online with a prescription for much less, there is a charge for prescriptions but they are very reasonable! So it's probably worth getting a prescription which is active for 6 months once prescribed, for things like worming and flea products or long-term medications. All in all this vets offers up-to-date treatments and are very caring and knowledgeble.”

“The staff at the Cortonwood store are knowledgeable and more than happy to help with queries. It is a decent sized store with plenty of choice. If I am unable to get exactly what I am looking for, there is usually an alternative product available. The store is nice and clean, when a pup has an accident, it is cleaned up quickly without any fuss”

“Lovely staff, good selection of food and toys, vet and dog grooming.”

“Highly recommend! Lovely customer service and because we’re signed up to the rewards app we got 50% off as a ‘birthday treat’. My dog looks lovely and her fur feels so clean (she was minging before she went).”

“A group trip up for a taekwondo competition and we had a fantastic host in Katy at the restaurant, Katy went above and beyond over the two nights we stayed including after a trip to a and e that she made my kids feel safe and secured while we was away. Food was great and quick service. Beds comfortable as always 5* all round”

“The staff here are fantastic. After a rather trying journey up from Kent Jess and James were so friendly and helpful when we arrived. All other staff were great and there was a lovely atmosphere. Very easy to park in the car park and get to the hotel. Cheap parking too!”

“Clean, comfortable, easily accessible hotel with ample parking. The room was a little hot, due to no AC, however a large fan was provided which helped a lot. The restaurant next door has reopened, although I didn't use it on this visit. The stand out point for me, was the staff! We had travelled from Devon, for my partner to have major surgery at Northern General Hospital, and an, otherwise, stressful visit was made bearable by the care & compassion of every member of staff I met; they went above & beyond to check that I had everything I needed and that I was OK & enquired daily about my partner (he's recovering well). I'll be back to stay again when I return to bring him home. THANK YOU!”

“My cat was taken as an emergency the vet was waiting for her when she arrived the vet attended to her straight away and we ended up taking her to the main surgery on huddersfield road . They were waiting for her and attended to her straight away . They did everything they could to save her but sadly we lost her . I cannot thank them enough for trying to save her the cost of the care was worth it to try and save her . RIP Missey you were a much loved and now missed family member .”

“Room was very comfortable and clean and the the staff were very helpful and friendly. Beverly in particular was very helpful and gave good advise about the local area.”

“At the Christmas party afternoon. We went last year and really enjoyed it. Great food and always nice and hot, impressive how quickly everyone is served. Bingo , disco and a singer. Its a brilliant afternoon.”

“I cannot praise the groomers here enough, the care and patience shown to our furbaby was amazing. Peanut is a rescue dog and they were brilliant with him. Thank you so much highly recommended.”

“I recently stayed at this hotel while attending a Christmas party with my husband and I couldn’t have been more impressed. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was warm, festive, and incredibly welcoming. A special shout-out goes to Holly on reception, who was absolutely outstanding. She greeted me with a smile, handled check-in smoothly, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for my stay. Her friendliness and professionalism truly set the tone for the entire visit. The Christmas party itself was brilliant—great food, lively entertainment, and a lovely festive setup. The staff throughout the hotel were consistently attentive and helpful, making the whole experience feel effortless.”

“Was very impressed with everything and so organised with our coach party on arrival. Very clean and presented room. Food was amazing, especially huge choice for breakfast. Staff were all very friendly and extremely helpful. Only stayed one night but cant fault the hotel, was great!”

“We've been using Privileged Pets for years with our dog and have received nothing but exemplary service, I would (and have) recommend them to friends, family and anyone whom requires a top class dog walking/sitting service.”

“Been using Ruffined’s dog walking service for several months now! Nala (our cockerpoo) loves the group walks and gets on really well with Dan. She can be nervous when greeting other dogs so this helps her a lot!”

“We use Megan for walking Eric our dog and feeding the Claz the cat when we are working. We also use her for sitting the pets while we go away. I wouldnt trust many people with our fur children but Megan is extremely caring and experienced in her profession. I recommend her without hesitation.”
