Vets for Pets - Chesterfield

Very good for getting quick appointments, but otherwise the worst vet practice I have ever experienced. I’ve never seen the same vet twice, and many staff seem unhappy to be there. I booked a nurse check-up in January '26, which is free under the Vac4Life programme, but was told a vet needed to see my cat for a flea prescription — this would have cost almost £200. I declined and was made to wait for a nurse who was extremely unhelpful. In March '26, I saw a vet for annual vaccinations (appointments at 11:00 and 11:15). I was out by 11:12; both cats were jabbed and weighed, and a possible heart murmur was noted — but I received no reassurance, flea prescription offer or information other than a mention of a £500 heart scan. I’ve since found a friendlier independent vet but wanted to continue the Vac4Life programme. There is nothing in the T&Cs preventing me from doing so, but apparently their system disagreed. Once it was clear I wasn’t paying for other procedures, they cancelled my account. This practice, like many corporate-owned vets, seems to care more about profit than the welfare of animals. They have never shown empathy or compassion for my pets and should be ashamed of themselves.

They used to have some lovely, caring vets. But new vets are aggressive and rude: they seem to care more about making money than treating animals and customers with dignity. It's a real shame because we used them for years.

Steph is incredibly friendly and helpful, she is a merit to the practice. We have always had good experience here with our reactive dogs, we had the cats registered but obviously didn’t come in half as often as we now do. Knowledgeable staff and really good with your pets. Our dogs love going to the vets they get beyond excited when we pull in the car park.

Just phoned up to tell them my bulldogs eye problem has flared up again and asked for some more eye drops, they said that I would need to see a vet again even though I’ve seen a vet recently for this problem. Left with little choice I agreed to see the vet but then they said the earliest appointment is Monday afternoon. This means my poor dog has to spend all weekend with his eyes shut and leaking horrible green goo, when I said this to them they didn’t care and suggested using an out of hours service. I don’t have much money and struggle with vet bills there is no way I can afford out of hour service. They said they were closing shortly but I could have been there in less than 5 minutes. To leave my dog my best friend like this is cruel. I could have been there before they closed but they decided leaving an animal in distress for a whole weekend was ok. I’m totally disgusted with this as NO ANIMAL SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO SUFFER.

Can’t thank the team at vets 4 pets littlemoor for their help with our furbabys. We’ve had one of them with a pelvic fracture and then the week after the other kitty had a blocked urethra which is very dangerous. They really have gone above and beyond to help us through this horrendous time. You really are all amazing and thank you so much for everything xx
