The Dales Practice Ltd

The Dales Practice Ltd is described by reviewers as a family-run veterinary practice (rather than a corporate group). It’s set up for both routine care and urgent problems: owners mention being seen as an emergency, getting same-day appointments, and receiving clear explanations of options—particularly from vet George. The practice is also listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility.

Concrete examples from recent reviews include treatment for a cat with a suspected broken leg that turned out to be an abscess (treated with injections and ongoing pain relief), and a home visit at end-of-life so a dog could pass at home.

Our kitty became really nasty and snarly every time we went near. Thinking he'd broken his front leg, we took him to Dales. Turns out it was an abscess, most likely from a bite. Dales Vets put our minds at rest. He was given a couple of jabs and some ongoing pain relief, and he's back to himself. Thank you

So I’ve used this vets the past couple of years and every time the vet I have seen has been George. What a guy! I couldn’t ask for a nicer man to be looking after my cat Alfie. He is professional, caring, kind and explains things in a way easy for me to understand. I can not thank you enough George for all you have done for my cat. I know his little days are probably numbered but having a vet like you to look after and care for him the way you have had made the whole process less traumatic for me and for the little guy. The women on reception are just as lovely to talk to and helpful and also make the experience of being there less daunting. Thank you to all of you. Can only recommend this place enough and will only have positive things to say about your business and team working there x

Recently swapped from another vets as we weren’t happy. My main concert was having a caring vet that would provide home visit if needed at the end of our dogs days. Dale view made this possible and although we are very sad at the passing of our lovely Woody his finally moment were in the comfort of our arms in his own home Thank you 🙏 x
