  I hate leaving negative reviews but we registered our cat a few months ago and it's been nothing but drama since the first visit. There have been lots of unexpected closures with no communication which is really disruptive, especially as we went for Churchfields because they were local and our cat doesn't travel well. They were closed a little while ago due to the roof being fixed which was understandable, but recently after requesting regular flea and worming prescriptions have had real difficulty as well. I received the text saying the prescription was ready when I was away from home. Tried to pick up last week as her medication was due on the 1st, but was told they were closed and would reopen today. Called Barnsley today, was told it would open from 4pm (leaving a two-hour window). My husband tried to drop in after 4 and they were still closed. Called Barnsley again, was told that the vet didn't have the key and was having to go and pick it up, and that after today they wouldn't be open again until 3rd September. We finally managed to get the medication a week late after my husband waited outside the clinic today until the vet arrived with the key at 5pm, but if we hadn't been able to do that we would have been up the proverbial creek until September. The people I've spoken to on the phone and during our visits have been lovely and I am sure it is nobody's fault in particular, but it's been extremely difficult and stressful trying to find out what is happening. If it's not too much of an administrative burden perhaps an email advising of closures where possible would be helpful to allow customers to plan ahead. I am still unsure of whether the closures are a regular thing or just a recent, short-term issue but we might need to consider going elsewhere if not resolved rather than putting our anxious cat through the drive to Barnsley.

  An absolutely brilliant vets practise who are very adept at dealing with my German Shepherd, who can be very vet aggressive. The team here always treat him well, but are firm with him (you have to be) and they always explain to me what's going on and why. I wouldn't go anywhere else with my anti social, hooligan dog.

  booked an apointment for a blood test for my little dog, got to the vets it was closed. Rang the branch in Barnsley. said to me yes it is closed at that time. You have been booked in wrong vets ( can you come to Barnsley). so what a waste of a 30mins car drive. I will be going somewhere else. No phone call to apologise !!!!

  Went with rescue hedgehog and they removed a tic n told me it was fine to be released . Took to a different vets for second opinion and they gave it emergency jab for fluids and weigh it and said it was 450g short of what it should be and would be fatal to release in its condition
