Crab Lane Vets

The quantity of medicine my dog needed could have been given in two shots, the vet prescribed 3 small shots so I could get a fourth for free as part of a manufactures promotion. Very helpful and caring staff. Read Less

Wonderful vets who really care ,all staff are fantastic . My pug has been in there for nearly three weeks now because it is the best place for him . Special thanks to Heather and Meem. Heather for her skill as a surgeon and Meem for her nursing skills that go above and beyond. And all of the staff for taking such good care of a mess of a dog !! Read Less

Cannot rate this vets highly enough. The care and attention and going the extra mile in the recovery of Marge and her shattered pelvis, punctured lung and pellet wound was second to none Heather and co are outstanding Read Less

A simple 'Thank you' is just not good enough..... We are a family who love dogs and they are very much loved family members. Until yesterday we had 4, all of whom are registered with the practice. The hardest part of choosing to bring a pet into the family is knowing that it is more than likely you will outlive them and there will be a point when you may have to make a difficult decision on their behalf. This we had to do yesterday. We chose to stay with Harcourt-brown for the last 16 years because the staff are just so kind and they clearly love animals. The receptionists have always been really helpful and obliging, and especially kind and considerate when it came to supporting us at the worst possible time. We don't ever ask to see one particular vet because quite frankly they are all good, and I do mean that. Yesterday the eldest of our brood, Patch, had reached his time to move on. It was one of the hardest decisions to make, but we knew following our conversation with Alison (Vet) it was the right one. Alison helped us after our first dog was in a car accident many years ago, and I've never forgotten how good she was then so I was very confident that she would help us get through this awful process. We wanted Patch to move on at home because we wanted privacy to be able to grieve as we wanted to and for him to pass on in a calm and loving environment. We were clearly very distressed leading up the time but he was ready. A mark of how good Alison and the team of vets and nurses is that our brood never get stressed when we need to take them to the practice. And that is important for any pet owner. I'd like to think that Patch knew it was his time and because of Alison's and Lisa's calm demeanour, Alison's explanation to us of what would or could happen, and more importantly their compassion towards us, he passed away very gently. They didn€t rush us to leave, they just gave us time to say goodbye which meant we could all hold him for one last time. I received a call from Lisa an hour ago to see if we were okay and to explain when Patch would be returned to us. There was no mention of money, and I suspect they would have waited a respectful length of time before doing. However, based on the fact that I now have a better appreciation of how difficult their job is and what a fantastic service they provide, I raised it myself. Which is why, even though it is only slightly over 24 hours since we said good bye to Patch, I€m writing this now as I want to thank them and recognise their good work. Those of us who love our pets need to know that they are in safe hands throughout and at the end of their lives, and I can only assure anyone who is considering Harcourt-brown as a Veterinary Practice that they are people you can trust.

Our fur baby had to have surgery on his back leg. Heather the cool vet was brilliant never seen anything as neat as her stitching. Everyone else helpful and make a fuss of him which is always a winner. Now just patients tender loving care and exercise. Read Less

I took my beautiful cat to see Ruth this morning with a lump the size of half a hens egg on his neck , fearing the worst, I am so delighted to say that she appeared to be bang on the mark with her diagnosis of an infected salivary gland. After an anti inflammatory injection and some antibiotics it has reduced by more than half. Thank you Ruth and thank you for being there on a Bank Holiday Monday. We will continue with the treatment as prescribed and keep you informed.Read Less

We sadly lost our beloved Golden Retriever in most distressing circumstances earlier this year. The surgery provided the best help and support possible. Prior to this, Hector had been with them for several years and they never failed to look after him (and us!) and also to provide the most professional service possible.Read Less

Excellent service and care for rabbits. We took Theo our rabbit to Crab Lane Vets when he stopped eating and acting out of character. After an initial check they decided to keep him overnight to make sure he was OK. We were given a menu and selected his meals. Thats right bunny room service, he was even hand fed. After a night stay, a play in the garden and some medicine I'm pleased to say he's back to his old self. I was very happy with the service received. :) Read Less

I started using this vets last year following a move from Somerset & a bad experience at a vets local to me in Doncaster. They may be just over 50 miles away but I would not go anywhere else with my Rabbits. Alison & Heather have saved my Little-Man twice. I cannot thank them and all the other vets, nurses & other staff enough. I cannot recommend them too highly and their prices are very reasonable too. Best practice for small animal especially rabbits in Yorkshire. Read Less
