Deepdale Veterinary Centre

Deepdale Veterinary Centre is a veterinary practice that also operates as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. Reviews describe a clinic set up for both routine care and surgery—owners mention spays (including complications), lump removals, orthopaedic surgery on an elbow after an accident, and a thyroid operation, alongside regular vaccinations and parasite treatments.

Several practical, clinic-specific details come up repeatedly: owners mention staff pausing at the start of appointments to help nervous dogs build trust, clear post-op aftercare guidance, and a separate waiting area for cats. There’s also mention of being seen straight away after calling with a sick dog. A small number of reviewers reference concerns about a “takeover,” while another reviewer explicitly says they don’t share those concerns.

Would highly recommend these vets. They've been nothing but amazing and helpful with my dogs, and treat animals with the utmost respect - pausing to gain my dogs trust at the beginning of each appt. They took amazing care of my puppy when she had to go in for an op, I feel very safe in their hands.

The practice was excellent, the staff were very welcoming and recognised Jet straight away. The whole visit from start to finish was superb.

28th November 2025 Visited to collect flea and wormer pills very accommodating of our Jack Russell Terriers special needs. They both ate their pills with cheese which is a first! May and July 2025 Visited hospital twice for breast cancer and spaying with complications. very good now excellent in fact. Lots of vets with different skills. Andrue just spayed our Jack Russell Willow removing a couple of lumps. Keep you informed enough but thorough info on what you need to help your dog after the operation. Professional, friendly organisation. Handy for walking the (other) dog and there’s a cafe too!

Couldn't be more happy with the service Deepdale provide. The staff (inc reception, the nurses and the vets) all really know and take care of our elderly cat Weller. The advice and care given is second to none. Also the practice itself has easy access parking and is very calm environment (with a separate waiting area for cats). Would not hesitate to recommend.

To all the staff (especially the 3 nurses) who went above and beyond to to carry Bella over a mile after she had got knocked over near the clinic, All were very helpful and a big thanks to Andrew who done the operation on her elbow, recovery is going well, she'll probably always have a limp but I guess only time will tell.....thank you all Martyn & Bella

Excellent service. I've read some other reviews that are concerned about the takeover of the business. I just can't agree with them. Excellent service, very caring, understanding and take time to explain the processes in spaying Dusty. Some have mentioned costs but I could not find a cheaper service for this and, in addition, a caring staff, happy to explain the procedures and follow-up care. I drove 12 miles to this vet and was not disappointed. Cannot fault them in any way. Thoroughly recommend.

Have been visiting Deepdale veterinary since it first opened 14+ years ago, we take our beautiful cat here for all her yearly boosts and the usual flea and worm treatment, plus any medical treatments, if any, should arise ( thyroid operation few years ago) Our cat now 14 is still going strong and still runs around like a kitten!! This, I'm sure, is all due to Deepdale taking such great care of her, the advice and recommendations from this outstanding veterinarian practice are second to none, everyone here is for the animal, and not for the bank balance, I cannot find fault in anyway whatsoever, What's more, there is now an absolutely awesome tea room, where you can chill inside or outside, with that treat you deserve Thank you to all a Deepdale for your outstanding work and care for all our loving pets of all shapes and sizes
