Since my local branch of Crofts at nearby town Bedlington closed down I was referred to this practice. It is located not far from the main road running through Blyth but can be difficult to spot as it is in a primarily residential area. The best way to get there is to turn down the road opposite the bus station then take a right and it is on the left hand corner. Parking is available in the streets but there are some spaces marked 'permit holders only' and some yellow lines. The practice is on the corner of the street. There is a glass fronted window and one main wide door which provides disabled access. Inside there is a small waiting area. A hard seat alongside the window or two plastic seats near the reception desk are where you can wait. There is a noticeboard near the door with advertisments on it. There is a lot of helpful infomation regarding training classes etc. To the right there is a coffee making machine for cients. There is also a bowl of water provided for dogs. There are wall hooks where leashes are provided should you need one. The reception is usually manned by one or two staff members. The girls here are lovely and will talk to your pet as if they are human! They will even come around and stroke your animal if it is quiet inside. The dedication of the staff is obvious from the huge display of photos of animals behind the desk. I have three dogs who come here regularly and one has had a life-saving op which meant me turning up out of hours on New Years Eve. I have to say the staff are amazing, hard working and so talented. I often get a different vet every time I come here but they are all very nice. You can also choose to see a veterinary nurse too. A brilliant practice, they send me mail outs concerning the practice regularly as well as appointment reminders. They also have a new state of the art hospital for clients. read more

Awful vets, who are expensive and administratively incompetent. If you are insured, watch, as they state they will claim for you, however do not carry out all the work requested by the insurance company and can cost you a lot of money . There are far better and cheaper practices closer - you have been warned read more

I admitted my dog to this vets on June 2nd 2015 under the care of Mr. Henney. I was told at the time that the disease my dog suffered from was treatable with a 40% recovery rate. I was advised to have biopsies taken in order to find the best treatment. At no point in this consultation did Mr. Henney warn me that the dog was seriously underweight and not fit for the operation. The biopsy operation was on 5th June. On 6th June I had to return the dog as he had become seriously unwell. The vets response was the dog would be better off at home and I had to insist that they took the dog's vital signs, temperature etc. It was then found the dog had a seriously high temperature, so he was re-admitted at that time. I picked up the dog on Sunday 7th after he had been placed on a drip and antibiotics. The dog died at home in the early hours of 12th June. I phoned the vet that day to report this. They promised to return my call but did not do so. I returned to Crofts personally on 13th and was told by Mr. Henney that he did not know why my dog had died. Previously I had been supplied with medication for the dog, but had been charged for two different drugs but was given one only tablet of an entirely different kind from that prescribed. I also found their reception staff to be more concerned about how up to date my payments were. I found this whole vet practice to be inefficient, uncaring, and incompetent. I personally would never use this vets again or advise anyone else to do so. read more
