Wonderful team, particularly Morag and Aimi, and fantastic treatment of my nervous pony, made a worrying time so much better with their kindness

I have never had such caring vets. we unfortunately had to let our old Yorkshire Terrier Bailey go over the bridge last night. They knew we were coming and had put a lovely soft blanket on the table for him, allowed us as much time as we needed with him before and afterwards. Morag and the lady helping out (so sorry i dont remember your name) they let me chat about him and actually listened. I really felt that they cared about us. (Our previous vets when we've had our other animals put to sleep, laid the animals on the cold rubber mat and it felt like they wanted us in and out as quickly as possible) Once again, Thank you for caring and making the whole experience that little bit easier.

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.
