My pet had been under the 'care' of Wilsons at Bishop Auckland for over a year and had been hospitalised at the establishment twice in that time. In March 22 after tests, their medical intervention and 2 nights in their 'hospital' I was told that he possibly had Triaditus, but that this was not a definite diagnosis.
Between March 2022 and April 2023 the same symptoms occurred in him a few times when we attended their clinic again but he didn't have to be hospitalised.
Then in April 2023 his symptoms became much more severe. He appeared in a lot of pain as he wasn't moving, was very lethargic, sick, and generally not himself. This time I got a diagnosis for him of Pancreatitus. He was put on a drip again and stayed with Wilsons vet, Bishop Auckland overnight. I took him home the next day, he was given 5 days worth of Painkillers.
By this point I'd spent nearly £3000.
After the 5 days of painkillers were finished his symptoms slowly returned. He was lethargic, sick, appeared in pain, wouldnt eat or drink and was unsteady on his feet. It was very upsetting and distressing for me to see him so unwell and awful for him to be in so much discomfort.
On Sunday 23rd April I rang Wilsons vet, Bishop Auckland at 11.03 and explained the situation and asked for more painkillers. Reception told me that they were only open for emergencies on a weekend ( to me this was an emergency when my pet was suffering ) but she'd speak to the Vet and get her to ring me back. Nobody did, so at 14.50 hrs I rang them again.
Reception apologised and said they'd been very busy with emergencies and as soon as she got a chance to speak to one of the vets she'd get one of them to ring me. At 16.16 reception rang back to apologise and say that there was still no one available as they'd been very busy, and as the vets who are in don't know my pets case, would it be alright if the vet who dealt with him rang me the next day. ( I.e. Monday ) By now it was over 5 hours since I had first rang for help and had still not received any. I was extremely upset and at my wits end to see my pet in distress and not be able to get help for him.
This was an ongoing case but my pet had no continuity of care from Wilsons. I had a simple request for Painkillers. I obviously can't rely on a Vet practice if I can't contact them and get the necessary care required for my pet especially when they advertise being open for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Finally at 17.15 hours a Vet rang me back but by this time I had sourced some of the same painkillers elsewhere.
One of the reasons I was attracted to Wilsons Vet, Bishop Auckland is because they advertise on their website that they are open 7 days a week and this gave me a feeling of security to know that if I needed anything on a weekend they would be there. The opening hours that are advertised on their website are very misleading. I think this needs to be changed to give a truer picture to potential clients of the services they actually offer during those hours.
My pet was in unnecessary pain and distress because the practice did not attend to him when requested. They were too busy with 'emergencies' and obviously didn't have another Vet on call for situations such as this.
•••••••••••••••••••
I wrote to the practice and expressed my dissatisfaction at their service and suggested some changes to their working practices.
I received an applogy including the below statements :
On that day the Vets had had an unusually high level of emergencies to deal with and had not had time to look in to my pets care.
They have discussed in depth with the team what happened that day and how they can improve their service in the future so this doesn’t happen again.
They have taken on my points and reviewed their protocols appropriately.
••••••••••••••••••
I do hope they have put into place some new practices to ensure that this never happens again with any other pet.

If you keep rabbits do not take them here, they do not know how to treat rabbits. Twice my rabbits have come away from this vet with some vile parasite which burrows into the skin of the rabbit, the rabbits did not have them before the visit and it takes weeks of treatment to get rid of the parasites which have probably come off some sick dog or cat. Wilson's is not a clean or rabbit friendly vet, avoid them.

Worst vets in the area avoid at all cost!!!! Plenty of other good vets in the area, they have miss diagnosed myself and friends dogs in the past and the receptionist’s are rude and snotty in my experience. Can’t even work a phone properly without hanging up when they try to transfer or hold you.
Recently needed my pet seen to by PDSA due to leaving work and they took 3 hours to send my records over before I could make an appointment even though I told them it was urgent and would be done straight away. Complete waste of space

These people know what they are about and they do not incur unnecessary expenses on your behalf. Another vet in the area seems to have been guilty in stringing us along... "next thing would be a blood test but for now let's see how she does on this (expensive) injection to bring down her temperature. She probably only has a virus. "
But Wilsons a few short weeks later (two and a half weeks?) diagnosed no hope - enlarged kidneys and liver failure due to the worsening of our cat's heart murmur. They waived the consultation fee and she passed peacefully.
Save yourself being strung along and your pet from suffering by going to Wilsons in the first place. If they suggest a blood test it's because your pet needs it and not "a scaled down version" which will undoubtedly have to be followed by a full scale one. If they can diagnose without recourse to this expensive procedure, they will.
Thank you, Wilsons, for your care and your integrity.

My cat took poorly and called the vets he's registered with, unfortunately there wasn't a vet there and they suggested I take him to Wilson's Vets which I did, I was there at 9.20am my cat was having breathing difficulties they politely asked the people whom where there before me if it's ok to look at my cat and explained why, the vet whom dealt with us was just amazing she took my cat straight to the oxygen box/tank as she was worried about the way he was breathing, then came back and spoke with me about what she would be doing. Am happy to say after a nights stay with them and numerous tests, x-ray,scan, bloods ect I have my cat back home and he has asthma. I would recommend this Vets practice to everyone they were fantastic, so much so I am transferring to this Vets for all 3 of my cats. Thankyou all at Wilson's for all you did for my boy.

Absolutely horrible, I took the cat there 5 times because of urine in blood. The first time they gave him antibiotics and other medicine. It worked for a while then blood in urine again...went back to them, they gave the same treatment, so we got the same result, it works for a few days then back to square one, blood n urine. That happened four times. They asked me to leave the cat in the morning so they can obtain a urine sample. I come back in the evening and they couldn't get a sample!! I was asked to bring him in AGAIN next day... same thing happened, they could not get a sample the next day!! Seriously?! Anyone would have been able to get a urine sample from a cat in two days but the vets there could NOT. On top of that they suggested the exact same treatment that did NOT work before. You pay about 60 pounds each visit and you get nothing back. Poor cat. My recommendation: STAY AWAY.

I recently visited the Wilson Veterinary Group for an emergency appointment with a rabbit that would not eat. The vets fitted me in at the last minute on a friday, and upon arriving I was seen promptly. The staff were lovely, helpful and were extremely diligent and knowledgeable in their treatment. They were quick to diagnose the problem, and prescribed the appropriate treatment - 3 injections and special food to administered at home. The facility was clean, the staff showed a genuine interest in the care and the welfare of the animals, and treatment was reasonably priced.

Had my dogs with these vets for years and had been happy with the service from the Spennymoor branch up until several incidents over the last 3 years. My dog has had several operations over the last 3 years as he's getting older. Never again at this vets. The main branch at Bishop Auckland has become more about getting your money than the care I was used to at Spennymoor. The attitude of the vet during the last operation was a disgrace. Without going into detail he was reprimanded by his seniors but my dog may now need another operation in the future which could have been avoided had he done his job properly. Also during a recent emergency I rushed through to them after phoning ahead only to be made to wait 50 minutes in a case where time was of the essence. During my wait there I phoned Castle vets who offered to send a vet out to me if I wasn't seen soon! Needless to say I have now switched to Castle vets who have been much more helpful.

My pet was in unnecessary pain and distress because the practice did not attend to him when requested. They were too busy with 'emergencies' and obviously didn't have another Vet on call for situations such as this.
•••••••••••••••••••
I wrote to the practice and expressed my dissatisfaction at their service and suggested some changes to their working practices.
I received an applogy including the below statements :
On that day the Vets had had an unusually high level of emergencies to deal with and had not had time to look in to my pets care.
They have discussed in depth with the team what happened that day and how they can improve their service in the future so this doesn’t happen again.
They have taken on my points and reviewed their protocols appropriately.
••••••••••••••••••
I do hope they have put into place some new practices to ensure that this never happens again with any other pet.

If you keep rabbits do not take them here, they do not know how to treat rabbits. Twice my rabbits have come away from this vet with some vile parasite which burrows into the skin of the rabbit, the rabbits did not have them before the visit and it takes weeks of treatment to get rid of the parasites which have probably come off some sick dog or cat. Wilson's is not a clean or rabbit friendly vet, avoid them.

Looked after my poorly springer spaniel so well.... the vets are very attentive and compassionate in their work. Dotty had to have an X-ray, the practice kept me informed at all times... The practice is extremely clean and staff are so welcoming. Most importantly my girl is back home and on the mend.... thank you! Won’t be going anywhere else

Worst vets in the area avoid at all cost!!!! Plenty of other good vets in the area, they have miss diagnosed myself and friends dogs in the past and the receptionist’s are rude and snotty in my experience. Can’t even work a phone properly without hanging up when they try to transfer or hold you.
Recently needed my pet seen to by PDSA due to leaving work and they took 3 hours to send my records over before I could make an appointment even though I told them it was urgent and would be done straight away. Complete waste of space

These people know what they are about and they do not incur unnecessary expenses on your behalf. Another vet in the area seems to have been guilty in stringing us along... "next thing would be a blood test but for now let's see how she does on this (expensive) injection to bring down her temperature. She probably only has a virus. "
But Wilsons a few short weeks later (two and a half weeks?) diagnosed no hope - enlarged kidneys and liver failure due to the worsening of our cat's heart murmur. They waived the consultation fee and she passed peacefully.
Save yourself being strung along and your pet from suffering by going to Wilsons in the first place. If they suggest a blood test it's because your pet needs it and not "a scaled down version" which will undoubtedly have to be followed by a full scale one. If they can diagnose without recourse to this expensive procedure, they will.
Thank you, Wilsons, for your care and your integrity.

My cat took poorly and called the vets he's registered with, unfortunately there wasn't a vet there and they suggested I take him to Wilson's Vets which I did, I was there at 9.20am my cat was having breathing difficulties they politely asked the people whom where there before me if it's ok to look at my cat and explained why, the vet whom dealt with us was just amazing she took my cat straight to the oxygen box/tank as she was worried about the way he was breathing, then came back and spoke with me about what she would be doing. Am happy to say after a nights stay with them and numerous tests, x-ray,scan, bloods ect I have my cat back home and he has asthma. I would recommend this Vets practice to everyone they were fantastic, so much so I am transferring to this Vets for all 3 of my cats. Thankyou all at Wilson's for all you did for my boy.

Had to rush my King Charles spaniel through to wilsons from my vet in Norton, what can I say all the staff were friendly practice is modern and clean, I was told I could phone at any time which I did because I was worried the nurse that was working through the night was great putting my mind at ease, the vet phoned when I was told she would very knowledgable and again put me at ease, on collection of ted the bill wasn't half as much as I thought it was going to be ,I was told step by step of the treatment that ted was going to receive they didn't do things that they felt wasn't needed at that time the treatment was done systematically, thanks from myself and ted to all the staff .

Absolutely horrible, I took the cat there 5 times because of urine in blood. The first time they gave him antibiotics and other medicine. It worked for a while then blood in urine again...went back to them, they gave the same treatment, so we got the same result, it works for a few days then back to square one, blood n urine. That happened four times. They asked me to leave the cat in the morning so they can obtain a urine sample. I come back in the evening and they couldn't get a sample!! I was asked to bring him in AGAIN next day... same thing happened, they could not get a sample the next day!! Seriously?! Anyone would have been able to get a urine sample from a cat in two days but the vets there could NOT. On top of that they suggested the exact same treatment that did NOT work before. You pay about 60 pounds each visit and you get nothing back. Poor cat. My recommendation: STAY AWAY.

The very best veterinary practice, owner, staff and service! I have had all of my pets with Paul for over 20 years. He is an amazing man with vast knowledge, patience and kindness. This shows in the efficient and highly professional practices he runs. My current dog has several serious health problems and I can honestly say there is no man or practice I would trust as much as Paul Wilson and his staff to make sure she has only the best of care. Fantastic!

Hes a very boisterous, excitable little lad but the staff were so patient and made a big fuss of him. You always expect your furbaby to be looked after like you would yourself, and i am happy to say that he was. Many thanks to you all. Pam R.

Well following a very stressful night back in June my beautiful girl Lulu delivered 4 healthy puppies at Wilsons Bishop Auckland with the help of Lloyd and the team on duty the following morning. From first phoning the practice and our arrival to later picking my girl and her babies up to come home I was met with professionalism, support and reassurance from everyone involved. Today Im very happy to say mum is doing very well and that all puppies were given their first injection and a clean bill of health at the Newton Aycliffe branch where Katherine was fantastic with them all and Mandy on reception was her usual happy supportive self. Thank You from Lulu

I recently visited the Wilson Veterinary Group for an emergency appointment with a rabbit that would not eat. The vets fitted me in at the last minute on a friday, and upon arriving I was seen promptly. The staff were lovely, helpful and were extremely diligent and knowledgeable in their treatment. They were quick to diagnose the problem, and prescribed the appropriate treatment - 3 injections and special food to administered at home. The facility was clean, the staff showed a genuine interest in the care and the welfare of the animals, and treatment was reasonably priced.

Had my dogs with these vets for years and had been happy with the service from the Spennymoor branch up until several incidents over the last 3 years. My dog has had several operations over the last 3 years as he's getting older. Never again at this vets. The main branch at Bishop Auckland has become more about getting your money than the care I was used to at Spennymoor. The attitude of the vet during the last operation was a disgrace. Without going into detail he was reprimanded by his seniors but my dog may now need another operation in the future which could have been avoided had he done his job properly. Also during a recent emergency I rushed through to them after phoning ahead only to be made to wait 50 minutes in a case where time was of the essence. During my wait there I phoned Castle vets who offered to send a vet out to me if I wasn't seen soon! Needless to say I have now switched to Castle vets who have been much more helpful.
