I couldn't recommend a better vet. We had an emergency with two of our dogs after a fight, and they were amazing. All of the staff are warm, welcoming, and extremely knowledgeable. Please don't hesitate to bring your loved pets here!

Lovely friendly staff who go above and beyond for your pets. They tried their hardest to calm our scared lurcher and have informed us about their friendly sessions to get a dog used to the place before a big procedure!

Fabulous veterinary practice! Very proactive investigating Lola’s lump which turned out to be malignant, was removed within two weeks of finding it along with a spay. This team are very compassionate and their passion for helping animals is unreal. Thank you to all the Animal Care Assistants, Vet Nurses, Vet Surgeons and he lovely reception team, all worth your weight in gold!🤍

The staff here are lovely, and quite a fan of our hoppy babies (rabbits haha) Barbara and Brian. They have all helped with a large amount of issues and without them, I don't think Barbara would be here with us today. Amazing service, amazing staff who are extremely knowledgeable.

I've always had absolutely sterling service with Vets4Pets Bishop Auckland. I have 3 dogs, and all of their needs are expertly taken care of by the wonderful people here. I recently got a new puppy who came with some serious issues with his eye and his mouth. His eye had quite a large and deep ulcer. The vets took a look and told me the prognosis wasn't great, but they would do all they can. They sought a second opinion from an eye specialist, and promptly prescribed the recommended medication. I'm so pleased to say that we have managed to save his eye! There is some slight scarring, but he will live a perfectly normal life even with that. The vets, nurses, and even the receptionists seemed to really truly care about the wellbeing of my little puppy friend, Thor. I will never go to another vet as long as this one remains open. Please support this fantastic veterinarian surgery, they really are fabulous people. The prices are also VERY modest for the services they give. Thank you Vets4Pets! Of course, now I'm going to add a picture (or three) of my little wonky puppy 😍
