Named vets (Steph, Neil and Callum) are repeatedly mentioned for listening carefully and handling nervous or difficult-to-handle cats calmly.

Colne Valley Veterinary Practice is an RCVS-accredited clinic that’s been providing pet care for 70+ years (per its website). Reviews describe a practice that handles both routine appointments and urgent situations: owners mention on-time consultations with clear explanations of what will be done, and a case where a vet recognised a blocked bladder immediately, drained it, stabilised the pet, and arranged transfer to a specialist the same day. Reviewers also name multiple vets they’ve stayed with “over the years,” suggesting continuity of care, and one review describes staff going “above and beyond” when a missing cat was dropped off.

Reviews most often describe organised, friendly visits for both everyday appointments (blood tests, vaccinations, check-ups) and more involved work such as keyhole spays and dental extractions. Several owners also mention the team being comfortable with smaller pets (hamsters/guinea pigs) and using practical handling approaches (for example, staff knowing an older dog by name and using treats to help).

From recent reviews, owners most often mention

  • Being seen quickly for emergencies (e.g., a dog that had swallowed a dangerous foreign body was seen “straight away” and treated without “unnecessary costs/treatments”). - Rabbit care specifically being a reason people choose the practice (“rabbit savvy”), including phone advice and call-backs when busy. - Follow-up after difficult visits is inconsistent: one bereaved owner describes a call a few days later plus a handwritten card, while another reports a rabbit euthanasia visit felt rushed and they received no follow-up.
