Our bulldog collapsed, took him to this vet. Said his heart fine etc, needs to lose weight. Diet and one month later same again, no answer; could be this could be that. Nothing to worry about.
2 weeks later his stomach is swollen. Back to vet who said bloat. Could take him home and bring him back when better staffed on the Monday morning. Taking no chances we waited till Monday morning. Left waiting once in waiting room and dog becoming more stressed.
Eventually in to see vet. I can not explain how concerned I was, specifically with the anesthetic. All very experienced apparently and I needn’t worry.
Our beloved dog had a heart condition. He’d been to the vet every time he displayed any distress. The swelling was his heart. They never figured it out and our dog died on their operating table unable to come out of the anesthetic.
The last time we saw him he was laid out on a slab.
Cold, uncaring, took away our sunshine and broke our hearts.
All without a bat of an eyelid. Read Less

Our usual vets based in Honley didn't notice a spinal issue in our dog they told her to rest (with pain killers) whenever she was in severe pain. We went to Donaldsons for the first time as an emergency (because there were the only vet open near us). Thankfully they spotted the severity of the issue and referred us to a fantastic specialist and I honestly think if our usual vet was open they would have told us to rest her which means our dog may not be here today. The only negative is that other emergency vets charge circa £110-£180 for a consult. Donaldsons charged £305. I was pretty gobsmacked! (That's with no meds or anything - just the consult). But the cheaper urgent care meant travelling further and we didn't want to waste time. And, while I appreciate cost is important to people, it should not be a priority. Quality us the most important thing. The vet on call (Kat) was however an absolutely amazing woman who clearly loves animals and had so much compassion. She noticed the issue that our other vet did not. I will be transferring all my other pets here because of Kat. Read Less

Cannot fault the service at Donaldson's. The vets are always lovely & reassuring. My grandad still brings his dog here even though he moved to Leeds over 15 years ago!

Not my usual vets - dog was taken here by our borders when she needed emergency treatment and I was away. Had to follow up with the practice afterward and had the most helpful phone conversations I've ever had with any medical practice, animal or human!

Fantastic veterinary practice. They've looked after my pets since I was a very small child. Always have the time to talk and explain to customers.
