Best Vets in Huddersfield – Complete Local Guide

Donaldson's Farm and Equine Ltd describes itself as an independent large‑animal and equine practice with in‑house diagnostics and an equine unit, offering work such as lameness and dental diagnostics and gastroscopy. The website also states a 24/7 ambulatory emergency call‑out service for registered farm and equine clients. The latest reviews available to us, however, include companion‑animal appointments (a bird, cat, and dog), with owners describing: - being taken straight into a consult room after a frantic call for a seriously ill senior dog, and being given time to say goodbye after the dog passed - a bird owner saying the front desk were “lovely” and the vet handled the bird carefully and professionally - one complaint about an icy, untreated car park and dissatisfaction with a “cheaper alternative” medication option that ended up costing more than expected until the plan was changed

Donaldson’s Vets Ltd is an independently owned veterinary group (not a corporate chain) focused on small-animal care, with website-listed capabilities that go beyond basic consultations—such as CT scanning, ultrasound, cancer care, and keyhole surgery, alongside an animal rehabilitation centre and referral services (behaviour, dermatology). The site also describes emergency and overnight care, and clients mention being taken straight into a consult room in an urgent situation. Recent reviews include both strong positives (kind handling of an end-of-life visit; careful treatment of a bird) and a clear negative about consultation value/cost expectations and slip risk from an icy car park.

Donaldson's Vets Ltd describes itself as an independently owned veterinary group providing “Total Care” for small animals, with RCVS & PSS accreditation listed on its site. The practice advertises advanced and referral-level capabilities (including CT scanning, keyhole surgery, and cancer care) alongside routine services like microchipping. In the latest written reviews available to us, owners mention a “caring and professional” vet and helpful front-desk staff, including for a nervous owner bringing in a bird after a bad prior experience.

Donaldsons Vets Ltd is described on its website as an independently owned veterinary group that treats small animals only. The practice presents itself as set up for more involved diagnostics and referral-style work, listing CT scanning, ultrasound, key hole surgery, cancer care, dermatology referrals, and behaviour referral, alongside routine needs like microchipping and repeat prescriptions. In the latest reviews available, owners most often mention supportive handling of difficult situations and time spent discussing treatment options, including ongoing management of a cat’s lymphoma with steroids rather than immediate euthanasia.

Brighouse Vets4Pets Ltd describes itself as a locally owned Vets4Pets practice, led by Practice Owners Caroline Stirk and Stephanie Wilson, and it lists facilities such as an in-house laboratory, hospital ward, isolation unit, and operating theatre. Based on the services advertised, it appears set up for both routine care (vaccinations, microchipping, nurse clinics) and more advanced work including orthopaedics (e.g., cruciate surgery), soft-tissue/airway surgery, and diagnostics (ultrasound, digital X-ray, ECG, in-house biochemistry/haematology). From the latest written reviews available to us, owners most often mention routine visits going smoothly (e.g., a puppy’s second injection) and good front-desk support, alongside positive comments about vets and nurses.
