Staveley Vets

I have recently moved to Derbyshire and was recommended this vets from dog walkers, I needed a vet ASAP and the level of care and service is absolutely faultless. The receptionist I spoke with was lovely, helpful and very reassuring. I saw Charlotte for our consultation and she was absolutely fantastic, faultless! She was kind, exceptionally caring and compassionate and couldn’t do enough. She made a very stressful time a lot easier. Thank you so much. I can see why this vets is so recommended. 5* service and a brilliant vets!

We have been with Staveley Vets since they opened and we wouldn't go anywhere else even if we moved! They have been there for us when our cat Lemmy was very ill and had to have a life changing operation. Recently our dog Little George has had cancer and had 2 lots of surgery. All the vets,nurses,reception staff are so kind and are animal lovers and it portrays that it is not just a business but care centred around our beloved pets.

We recently took our bulldog Dolly to Staveley Vets for a second opinion after months of ongoing issues elsewhere, and the difference in care was incredible. From the first appointment they were thorough, listened carefully to the history, and took the problem seriously. Sean in particular was brilliant — so honest and straightforward, which we really appreciated. Within minutes of examining Dolly he had already identified a mass that had been missed previously, and he explained everything clearly so we understood exactly what was going on. It immediately made us feel confident we were finally getting to the bottom of the problem. Within a very short time they arranged surgery and Dolly was treated within about 24 hours. The improvement afterwards was immediate. After such a long and stressful time trying to find answers, the speed and clarity of the diagnosis was such a relief. They also recently spayed our other bulldog and the care she received was excellent. The difference in approach, attention to detail and communication compared to what we had experienced previously was night and day. The care, communication and follow-up from the whole team have been fantastic and it’s clear they genuinely care about the animals they treat. We’re so grateful to have found them and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Staveley Vets

We had to take our beautiful kitty Twinkle, who was poorly, and sadly we had to let her go to sleep. The young lady vet was so beautiful and caring, gentle and compassionate. We have since received a beautiful condolences card, containing a packet of 'memorial' wild flowers. Thank you all. God bless you x

It’s really hard to find people and places within the pet industry that genuinely care. Stavley vets are one of these places, my dog Mabel absolutely loves it here and everyone there seems to absolutely love her. Shes been in a lot recently for her Spey and some other issues following but she still loves going and still leaves happy! Before her surgery I was terrified of the worst happening but when I went in for her preop checks I actually came out excited for her? I don’t know how they did it! I think it was simply the joy of seeing her around people who were excited to be around her, I knew she’d be looked after! My cats have also been with Stavley vets and they’ve always been honest and realistic with expectations instead of just doing things for the sake of it. It’s a really lovely place!

Excellent Vets and practice. Harry, my 3 year old Cocker Spaniel had a large cyst on his chest.I took him into Staveley Vets two days before Christmas.The vet diagnosed the problem and booked him in to have the cyst drained the following day and worked out the estimated cost. The day before Christmas Eve he was operated on and came home the same day. The two vets, Sue and James couldn't have been more caring,professional and efficient.As were the practice nurses and reception staff. The important thing about this practice is that all the vets are independents, working together. Four out of Five Veterinary practices today are part of large business combines, who over the past 10 years have bought up practices as vets retire.Their profits pay shareholders, which is reflected in their charges.I left a previous practice when I realised this and sought out an independent Vets. I couldn't recommend Staveley Vets too highly.

I had to contact Staveley vets in an emergency last night when my little dog became very unwell,very quickly. The vet answered the phone straight away and gave me really detailed instructions on what to do and how to get to the surgery. My vet practice is part of the group but isn’t immediately local,I’m not familiar with the area and this was a huge help in my panic. As soon as we arrived Katie was absolutely amazing,she explained everything thoroughly and was very calm and reassuring. I left my little dog and Katie rang me every couple of hours with updates and even sent me photos when my dog was feeling better.Teabag had to stay in overnight but I just knew that she would be cared for and in very good hands. To have vet so caring,both about me and my dog was priceless. I was able to collect her less than 24 hours after being admitted and Katie once again explained all the treatment that Teabag had had,gave me full explanations about what to do,medication etc once we got home. I seriously cannot believe how well cared for we both were. And the cost wasn’t half as bad as I expected(Katie even said if I struggled with the insurance company,to ring and she would support my claim!). I cannot thank her enough…..the whole experience was really scary but Katie made things so much better. Vet in a million…..I hope her boss reads this and already knows what a gem she is….🙏

Went into this vet with my presa canario mastiff breed last week, he is a very friendly 10 month old puppy and just wanted to say hello to everyone. Bearing in mind he went in only for a health check, we were met with a very rude vet who treated him as if he was a dangerous dog! She said most of them get nasty and will need to be put down by the age of 2……..She also stated about the type of training collar he was wearing saying it was abuse! I don’t know if she knows what abuse is! There are dogs being neglected and dying and she is so opinionated about my dogs collar? I didn’t ask for her opinion! I asked for a health check! She didn’t once interact with him even though he was kissing her, she treated him like he was a danger. totally different to how they normally treat my two smaller dogs!!! If you have a large breed dog I would stay away from this vets as they will not treat you nicely. I think she must forget that she is a vet, not a trainer or a behaviourist, she obviously doesn’t own big dogs so doesn’t know their requirements or just believes that they are all innately aggressive.
