We have used Abbeyfields before when our dog had to have an operation. Everything went well and the…read morevet was sympathetic and understanding at us being upset that the dog was poorly. Of course it was very expensive but I think all vets are unfortunately! We were happy with the service from Abbeyfields and would use them again in the unfortunate incident that we would need to take one of the pets to the vets.

Superb service, advice and friendly staff. Would fully recommend to anyone.read more

Sadly this week we lost our beloved cat SUKI, we believe that between us we gave her every…read moreopportunity to stay with us but it was not to be. On behalf of my family we would like to thank you for the professional care provided by you. As bills mounted up it was a pleasant surprise to get a revised bill which was less than we had anticipated. The lovely card with her paw prints on made us all cry. It was a lovely touch and we thank you all.

My 8 month old puppy died alone, in a cage at this practice…read more After ringing the emergency, out of hours vet 3 times he finally agreed to come out to the surgery to see our puppy at approximately 1.30 in the morning. After various tests (heart beat, temperature etc) we were told the puppy would have to stay in overnight in what (I thought at the time) was their capable hands. Steven took blood tests etc then at 4am left him alone (I presume on a drip) in a cage. When the nurse came in the following morning Frank had passed away and was lying in blood from his mouth and bottom. He must have wondered why we abandoned him to suffer alone and ultimately to die alone. Graham has tried to make amends for Frank's treatment by paying for his cremation, sending flowers and covering the insurance excess but nothing will bring my puppy back or take away my grief or guilt that I left him there to die alone. I would never recommend this veterinary practice to anybody and 1 star is an extravagant gesture.

This is the vet we use after transferring from another vet…read more The staff are very friendly and will take the time to talk to you and explain options. They spend time thoroughly examining the animals and talking to them and calming them. The vet always explain to my young children what they are doing and why. A great vets with great care.

The caring staff offer complete care for your animals, large or small!…read more Battle Flatts also has a small claim to fame as it is owned by now TV Vet Matthew Brash. Situated on the Main Street in Strensall, on first impressions the building doesn't look big enough to have a veterinary surgery inside, and indeed, inside is quite compact but cosy. Battle Flatts offer a wide range of veterinary treatment and have been taking care of my pets since I moved to York some time ago. I've was extremely touched by the caring manner that I've been treated on the unfortunate occasions when 2 of my beloved animals had to be put to sleep. I would highly recommend registering your pets with Battle Flatts as the prices are reasonable and the vets and support staff are wonderful.

This is a very attentive and responsive vets surgery. I have been using them for years and they…read morehave treated my cats for a variety of conditions as well as carrying out standard practices such as neutering. On more than one occasion they have seen a pet of mine at incredibly sort notice even though their surgery was fullly booked. Not only do they offer a high degree of professional work, they are also very sympathetic to owners worries and situations. I have had to have 2 cats put down here (ironically both in the same room) and on both occasions the vet in charge was so kind and supportive to me I felt like hugging them! It's worth noting both times there was nothing that could have been done to save my animals but the vet did everything possible until it was realised that to continue treatment would have been unkind to the cat as well as being a complete waste of money - so many less reputable vets would keep fleecing owners, saying there's still a chance'. These people might not be the cheapest but they are the best i have come across.

we has been to another vet in the area with our poorly cat who did not seem to be responding too…read morewell, we then took him to Wittrick Vets. We thought our cat was going to die he was thin, weak, not eating or going to the toilet, within two weeks he was much better and now a year later he is as fit as ever. Very good vet, very good prices too. Very nice people. Would recommend to anyone.
