Station House Vets

Station House Vets is an independent practice providing first-opinion care for small animals and equine patients, and it states that it runs its own emergency/out-of-hours service. Reviews repeatedly describe long-term support for complex, ongoing conditions (for example strokes, heart disease and kidney disease in an older dog), plus hands-on nursing care (bandaging) and practical problem-solving (a grass seed extracted from a paw after 10 days). End-of-life care is also specifically mentioned, including a vet and nurse staying “over half an hour” to support an owner during euthanasia.

Five stars are not enough to describe Station House vets. I have been a client since moving here 14 years ago. Throughout that time the practice has given first class service with compassion and gentle understanding. Today I had to take an elderly much loved dog to be put to sleep. The vet and nurse were with me for over half an hour and Bobbie was given a gentle ,peaceful end to her life. So many thanks for all your care given to my much loved dogs, your practice is outstanding.

Station House Vets are an amazing veterinary practice, they have a very experienced team of small pet and equine vets, and ALL of their staff are so super friendly, helpful and always cheery. Nothing seems to be too much trouble. It's a great independent practice that we - our dogs, cats and horses - have been customers of since we moved to Yorkshire in 1996. Wonderful practice

Pip, a miniature schnauzer, had the most difficult week after getting a grass seed in his paw. He was superbly looked after by nurse Helena at Station House Vets whose bandaging skills are second to none. But special mention to vet Morag, who worked a miracle when she managed to deftly extract the seed that had persistently remained hidden for 10 days! What a relief for Pip and everyone looking after him. Huge thanks for the wonderful care.

This is a super practice. The vets, nurses, receptionists & office staff are so friendly, competent and genuinely interested in their patients and owners. Over the past 7 years they have seen us through some difficult times with 3 generations of dogs. The best practice we have ever used.

As good as a veterinary surgery gets. They have shown a huge amount of care for my dog and he runs into to the surgery every time he visits.

This is the easiest and the hardest review I've written. Easiest because it's a no-brainer, I will always recommend Station House Vets to anyone and everyone without a doubt, and I often do. Hardest because I'm not sure if I can find the words to explain exactly what wonderfully caring and compassionate vets they are. Station House Vets looked after our Border Collie for 7 years after we moved back to Yorkshire. They treated her very much like an individual and got to know her over the years. They got her through so many illnesses, including strokes, heart disease and kidney disease. Heartbreakingly, we had to let Tess go recently as they had done everything they could (truly everything). However, she was nearly 16 years old, and it was because of Station House vets' constant care that she got to that age. They always put her well-being first and helped her have such a brilliant life. We will always be so very grateful to them for how they handled her final hours. She was treated with such love and respect. And the care and support we have received as grieving owners has been beyond the call of duty. If anyone is looking for a vet, Station House truly is by far an example of the very best. Thank you for looking after our fur baby, it will always mean the world to us.

My 3 dachshunds go into the surgery with tails wagging, so that shows how well the vets, nurses and receptionists treat the animals that come to visit. The Wellness program is perfect, as it saves quite a bit on the cost of vaccinations and flea/tick and worming tablets. The vets and nurses really take time for the visit and answer any questions and give advice. Same day appointments are available most of the time and they're open on Saturday mornings. The surgery is very well located, just off the A64.
