Peak Vets

Since adopting my little rescue staffy Missy, I have been to Peak vets on a regular basis for various reasons. From the first visit from adopting her (before she’d even been to her new home!) the vet we see has been wonderful. He sat on the floor with Missy, continuously spoke to her as well as me and referred to her as ‘Princess’ which only echoed my feelings towards my own dog. The reception, nursing staff and vets are incredibly helpful and compassionate. They receptionists always seem to remember Missy and give her treats when she comes in. They even went as far as to not charge me a consultation fee when I took Missy in for her shots but she wasn’t well enough to have them. I cannot recommend this vet enough! They are completely different to every other vet I have encountered and truly seem to love and care about the animals we make part of our families. Thanks Peak Vets for all you have done for us :)

I took my 8 month old cat Gucci to Peak Vets because of a sudden change in her behaviour, it was on a sunday when most other vets were closed. When I was seen by the vet she told me my 8 month old British Blue Shorthair cat had twisted her back and advised me to give her a course of medication to help her get better. Obviously I agreed and paid the vet for the consultation and reccommended medication, I was also advised to rebook a date for a further examination. My cats behaviour never changed however and I decided to get a second opinion from another vetinary practice in Sheffield the following day. I was told that the cat was clearly in season and this would be obvious to anyone in the same profession, I asked the vet to check my cat over for any signs of back problems but there didnt appear to be any signs at all. I then made a visit to the breeder who we purchased our cat from, she asked me questions similair to those of the vets I had just visited, but questions that I was never asked at Peak Vets. The breeder told me there was nothing to worry about as she was in season, just keep her inside and away from other cats and she will be fine in a few days. I contacted Peak Vets and raised this with one of their partners who told me that he was not prepared to accept that their examination was wrong and still maintained that my cat must have a back problem because his collegue said so. Despite me paying for a second professional vets opinion no refund would be possible I was told. 3 days later my cat is behaving totally normally and showing no signs of pain or distress. The vet would have known my cat was in season but felt they should charge more than just a consultation fee and so administered medication that clearly wasnt needed along with a re-​appointment. Very very dissapointing and gives a bad name for vets. DO NOT USE THIS VET!

We moved our 5 dogs and 3 cats to Peak Vets a few months ago and simply couldn’t be happier. I totally agree with the above comments that all 4 vets and 8 staff are utterly passionate about all the animals that walk through thier doors. The practice is spotless, the waiting room is large and airy. The qualified nurses take an interest in all the animals as if they were their own. One nurse sleeps on the premises! Talk about 24 hour care! So far we’ve seen Dr Steve who is the friendliest and happiest vet I’ve ever met, he greets you with a smile and a warm welcome regardless of the hour (we usually book in for 8pm and the practice is open till 9pm) We have never been rushed out of the door, each pet is given the time needed to be treated properly and this is without having to wait around to long in the very pleasant open plan waiting room. Then there’s Dr Greg, an incredible vet, trained at the Queen Mother Hospital in Potters Bar, London, only one of the best vet hospitals in the country. Greg treated our Persian cat Chloe with patience and great care and she’s now feeling so much better. We feel extremely fortunate to have this calibre of vet a short drive away and have no reservations in recommending Peak Vets to anyone. You may ask how I know all this? Steve and Greg actually take the time to chat while they are working, yes, my husband and I usually leave the surgery smiling after having spent 20 minutes with a couple of incredibly nice people. To top it all the fees are incredibly reasonable and they are open 7 days a week. And no, I have not been paid to write the above, I simply want to put across how fantastic this vets surgery truly is.

Used these vets for a short time now and rate them highly.
The staff are wonderful with animals and owners alike and take their time not to rush things through.
You really get the feeling that they care a lot about animals (as all good vets should!) and that they actually enjoy seeing your pet, rather than it being another odious work task.
They do a monthy newsletter with interesting information and offers. Unlike other vets i’ve used in the past, they also regularly do drop in days where people are invited to come in for a tour of the practice and a view behind the scenes.
They also stock a small amount of animal food, treats, toys and accessories.
Would definately recommend them.

The staff here are absolutely wonderful with all kinds of animals and we’ve taken all sorts down there; cats, dogs and even degus!
Both vets obviously love animals and they are wonderfully reassuring to us worried owners too. The reception staff are also extremely friendly and are on-​hand to answer enquiries by email as well if you haven’t got an urgent problem.
I would definitely recommend these to anyone in the area.
