Have been using Seaham Vets for over a year now for our pet rats and the staff have been tremendous every single time. Every single member of staff I have dealt with have been friendly and professional, and the prices of their services are very reasonable. I would recommend this vet surgery to anyone in the area!

Absolutely fantastic!! My cat Meowth came in to be spayed a few weeks ago. The after care she received was brilliant, the practice is very friendly and they do take good care of your precious pets. I will most definitely use these again.

Seaham Vets are incredible. I cannot stress enough how fantastic they were. We have five rats, which are an exotic pet. Our rat, Daphne developed a pituitary tumour and was in pretty rapid decline for a while. We had first believed that it was a respiritory infection, and treat her accordingly, to little success. It was undoubtably terrible saying goodbye to Daphne, but we had such tremendous support through the entire process. We brought multiple theories of what we thought it could be to them, and we were always validated and reassured, and the treatment was then always tailored to what we felt she needed. A huge thank you to the Reception team specifically Stef, who probably got sick of us ringing up to ask for advice in her palliative time, and who always loved seeing her when we brought her into clinic. A massive thank you to Abby who has seen three out of our five babies into surgery or procedure. We cannot thank you enough for your work with all of them and it was lovely knowing that you were there with Daphne when she said goodbye. Thank you to Iggy, who was fantastic with your treatment of her specifically. You were so lovely and always took our concerns very seriously. Your help gave us an extra couple of weeks with our girl! Sybil- You were incredibly helpful in seeing us and giving us considerably more information than we had. Thank you for being so thorough and kind in her last weeks, it was so appreciated. And lastly Akhil, thank you for putting her out of her pain. It was an incredibly rough day for us, but you made it easier and explained everything so thoughtfully. Thank you all for your incredible work with us!

I can’t recommend Seaham Vets highly enough. The staff are incredibly professional and have gone above and beyond to provide exceptional care for our very poorly and nervous dog, Zak. They were available on short notice when we needed them, and their compassion really put us at ease. Aftercare has been outstanding— they've even called to check on him multiple times, which truly shows how much they care. We’re so grateful for their support and expertise. Special thanks to Ignatius and Carrie.

Super professional and compassionate surgery. So grateful for the way they treated my cat throughout her illness and the kindness they showed when it was time to say goodbye.

I called the vets concerned about my cats breathing on Saturday morning, they booked me in within 15 mins and straight away saw me, my cat heart gave up and she did die while we were there but the vets were amazing, they lit a candle showing I was mourning my cat so others entering would know, they gave me a care package with tissue, chocolate, candle, forget-me-not seeds and a note about support for mourning a pet, they also posted me a sympathy card with Shadows fur, nose print & paw prints... then when we collected shadow she was in a beautiful urn wrapped up all lovely, in a nice bag with a lovely certificate and again copies of her prints... nicely done, so much care and detail at such a hard time

I have always felt anxious during appointments since our old boy was put to sleep. However today I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Seaham Vets new permanent vet (Iggy) - hopefully that's how you spell his name! He is exactly what they have needed after seeing a number of locums that in my opinion haven't been great. Friendly, calm, reassuring, thorough, lovely with my dog, really listened and incredibly helpful, the list could go on! It was only when I came home that I realised my anxiety had completely gone. Fabulous addition to a great team.
