Moorland Veterinary Centre

I was born here by section in the middle of the night on a bank holiday Sunday, my mum is still alive, recently had my spay and lumps removed! I'm still alive, my human-mum is a nightmare worrier, kept taking me back worrying and the vets never lose their temper or are rude to her, they put her mind at rest! Anyway, my stitches are out now and mum is relaxed again! But I must add, despite all I have been through, I am happy to trot off with the vets away from my mothers and still go into the vets alone. Why is that, well, obviously I was treated with love, kindness, and reassurance whilst they had me. The one-star reviews, plus the one from Kirsty are rubbish, they should be ashamed of themselves for targeting such a long-established local business! Thanks from the Tuey Read Less

I have used Moorlands for over 35 years and they’re the BEST! They run their own 24 hour emergency service which is rare nowadays. They’re always there for my dogs and I’ve never had a reason to moan or complain about them! The one star reviews are a load of bull poop! Read Less

To the one star's thank you for letting people read your review with all the other good reviews and a couple of bad, I think we found the problem! YOU. I have been with these guys for years when I had severely ill kittens and now my dog. Including these bad times we live in now they still doing a great job. Btw thanks to these guys my pets are still alive. Thanks leek moorlands. :) Read Less

I was shocked to see the one star reviews and venomous comments. I have used these vets for years. They have always been polite , knowledgeable , gave good advice and helped me through end of life with my pets. What sad times we live in... Read Less

If you trust your beloved pets to a practice that supports the killing of our wildlife, then you are delusional. Two of these vile people apparently work at this practice so find yourself a vet who truly sticks to the vet’s oath to do no harm. Read Less

An absolutely fantastic company of professionals who clearly know what they are doing and who care about their patients and owners. Please ,if you feel as though you have to leave ranting negative feedback on forums like this, could you at least get someone who can spell to do your typing for you. It just makes you look stupid as well as deranged. Read Less

Best vets for miles, ignore the reviews from trolls. I’ve been with this practice for 35 years, Chris the owner worked there at weekends as a kid and went on to become an amazing vet and runs a top practice. I have called them xmas eve, Christmas day, middle of the night and they’ve met me at the surgery! They are GREAT & they love our pets! Read Less

What an absolute disgusting disgrace. The practice manager baiting and murdering innocent badgers and training others to follow suit. Trapping in cages then shooting them many hours later, exhausted and terrified, how can this person represent a vetinary practice! And they have removed the ability to leave a 1 star!! Read Less

0000000000000000STARS BUT THEY HAVE FIXED THE STAR RATING STARTING ON 3STARS. PRACTICE MANAGER EMMA IS A BADGER KILLER WHILE THE MAJORITY OF US ARE FIGHTING TO SAVE OUR WILDLIFE SHE IS OUT THERE KILLING THEM.DEFINITLY WOULD TAKE MY PETS TO THIS PRACTICE AS I WOULD HATE TO THINK WHAT THEY DO TO PEOPLE'S PETS WHEN THEY LEAVE THEM THERE. Read Less

You cant help save animals if your killing animals for fun in your spare time, Very Double Standard's, How can you, save on one hand, cruelty killing on other hand, I'd advise looking for a vet that does not help or Manage a badger cull, Very Double Standard's, Read Less

The Practice manager of this establishment Emma Trueman is also the director for the needless Badger Culling operations in the area. How on earth do they operate as an animal friendly business while their practice manager organises the needless slaughter of our wild badger population. You couldn't make it up! Shame on you..and with folk like this in management god help the poor sick animals in your care. Read Less

The practice manager Emma Trueman is the director for the badger cull.. responsible for the thousands of badgers being needlessly slaughtered. A practice that practice killing wildlife!! As veterinary practice, they will be fully aware of the unproven sceince behind badgers spreading TB. Shame on them. I certainly wouldnt trust them to take care of my beloved pet. Read Less

A veterinarian surgery that’s position is strictly neutral regarding the culling of badgers! Sitting on the fence so as not to upset their farming customers, well I will not be supporting a vets that condone the murder of innocent animals, will not use them ever again!!!😤 Read Less

Look at the ethics of this vets practice before you trust your animals to their care. Their practice manager is a badger cull director! Would you want your animal treated by a company that agree with the mindless slaughter of innocent wild animals, as vets they will be aware of the science of why the cull isn't working. Shame on you for supporting this evil act by employing her. Read Less

Having a practice manager who is a badger cull director is highly inappropriate and ethically questionable. I think maybe she needs to take a good look at herself in the mirror. Those protected creatures take minutes to die in those cages and the ‘evidence’ for the cull highly questionable!! Think it’s time to take a look at the choices you’ve made hiring an animal killer at a vets practice!! 👎🏻👎🏻 Read Less

The Practice has really let us down. We have owned our family Labrador for 6 years and Moorland have always looked after her. As a puppy she began to scratch and was diagnosed as being allergic to house mites and has been given 6 weekly injections to combat this. Unfortunately, over the course of a couple of hours our lab developed a cough after taking her for a walk on a Saturday morning. We took her to Moorland vets as I thought she may have swallowed something that stuck in her throat. Unfortunately she wouldn't allow the vet to look inside her mouth and so the vet recommended that if the cough hadn’t gone by Monday we take her back and they would sedate her so they could examine her properly. Monday came and although the cough had subsided she still had a cough. We took her back and waited for a call. At lunch time we were called to say that our dog had been examined and unfortunately a large mass had been found at the back of her throat. I asked if it was cancer and was told that they were 99% sure it was, they were experienced vets and 2 vets had examined her. They were unable to take a biopsy as the mass was located in a part of the throat where access was difficult. As we had pet insurance and due to the dogs age they had brought her round from the anaesthetic. Two small animal hospitals were suggested and we managed to book her in within a couple of days in Derby. This was a distressing time for the family and assumed the hospital would confirm the diagnosis and we would have to make a very upsetting decision. The dogs cough had largely disappeared by Wednesday but we took her. After leaving her for an hour with the hospital we were called back, ready for the decision. The vet asked why she had been referred as he could see no mass or inflammation in the dogs throat and had taken x rays etc, she was fit and well, and had had taken photos of her mouth which we witnessed. We were obviously overjoyed with the outcome. The report from the hospital was sent to Moorland Vets and I called them a couple of days later. I asked how could they have been so wrong? if they were unsure, it would have been much better to say so, instead of jumping to conclusions. Instead of an apology, I was again told that they had reached the correct diagnosis and they suspected that the tumour had just fallen off!!!! And the hospital should not have asked why she had been referred and would take it up with the hospital. Understandably we have changed our veterinary practice. Upon registration with our new vets were went through our pets history and the mis diagnosis. We had just paid for another 12 months of injections for the allergy and took them to the new vets. Really nice guy who asked when she had last been checked for the allergy as she might have outgrown it, and it might be a good idea to leave the injections and to see how she goes on. Our lab has never been rechecked as the question had never been raised. More importantly, I described our pets coughing systems and the cancerous mass that had miraculously fallen off, he suggested that it could have been a bee sting and they can look like a hard large mass. As a family we have always trusted Moorland Vets, probably naively. Our lab hasnt had any injections for over 3 months and the allergy has not recurred. I have to conclude that making the most money out of a client is paramount. Read Less

Best practice by miles in leek, they run their own out of hours and the vets give you information that allows you to make informed choices. I’ve been here since I was 8, now 42 and 6 dogs and a litter of puppies later the service is still as good and personal as it was when it was Mr Hodgkinson was running the practice. I’ll add that their prices are very fair and ethical. Read Less

We really cannot recommend this practice highly enough. We recently moved to the area and when Monty joined our family, we needed a new vet. Everyone we spoke to only had fantastic things to say about Moorlands so without hesitation we booked him in. Monty is a Bernese mountain dog and is loved so much, naturally we only want the very best for him, moorlands is outstanding. Over the years, I’ve had many pets and many vets, none of whom I’d recommend with confidence. I’m happy to say that moorlands is the exception. Tracy has looked after Monty with as much love, care, kindness and concern as we ourselves do, she’s amazing. Thank you so much for all you’ve done, we are now absolutely certain we made the right choice. Thank you Tracy. Debbie, Paul, Ryan and Monty Hobbs Read Less

***STATUS UPDATE!!! The vets have had the police come to me to try to frighten me into removing this post!!! Oh how people panic when the truth comes out!!! And if you think il go quietly away THINK AGAIN!!! Do not fook with my dog n expect to intimidate me into being quiet lol!!! #fuktheestablishment Hey guys!! She's back!!! With a warning.. After a horrific afternoon/night last night i feel the need to warn people DO NOT USE PARK VETS!!! After receiving a phone call saying the famous n much loved Sassy was ill I quickly realised after going to her she was suffering with the fatal infection Pyometra. She was rushed to Park vets who confirmed it then asked for 800 up front to give her life saving surgery. I offered a payment plan straight away to which the response was 'no we want at least 200 up front if you can't afford we will put her to sleep' said by a receptionist who had a grin on her face that I can only say wanted knocking clean off... She then clearly wanted the problem out of her surgery n claimed she had booked sassy in for emergency surgery at the Pdsa in Stoke and they where waiting for us. This was not the case no phone call was made n the PDSA had no clue as to us arriving. They where about to shut n extremely luckily the surgeon was still on sight... When confronted by the vet at Pdsa, Park vets denied all knowledge and made some story about missing paperwork which was never the case. This all nearly cost Sassy her life. It may well of done yet she's out of surgery for 10 this morning. But I never want anyone to go threw the lack of care n organisation we went threw yesterday or for there much loved furry family member to be treated so coldly by the Park vets... Can honestly say one of the worst n most frightening things ever and the place wants shutting down... #prayforthepig #lovesassyRead Less
