Best Vets in Barnsley – Complete Local Guide

The Pet Vet Barnsley is part of The Pet Vet group and is set up for both routine care and urgent cases, with emergency veterinary services listed as 24/7 or extended-hours in the clinic data. The website also states no surcharge for weekend appointments, including for unregistered customers. Facilities and services highlighted include in-house imaging (X-ray, ultrasound, dental X-ray) and an in-house laboratory, with a notable focus on dentistry (including “advanced dentistry” and “dental restorative treatment”) and care for exotic/small animals. Recent reviews add concrete examples of what that looks like in practice: owners describe emergency same-day fitting-in, multiple post-op checks after dental work, and staff who are confident with small/exotic species (rats, rabbits, birds).

Animal Trust Vets CIC Barnsley is part of the Animal Trust Vets CIC network, described on its website as a mission-led veterinary social enterprise with transparent pricing. It offers full-service general practice alongside higher-end capability (including CT scans and major surgery) and provides urgent care 24/7, with the website stating consistent pricing and a £79 out‑of‑hours supplement. From recent reviews, the clinic appears set up for both routine care and serious cases, with owners describing: - Detailed post-op aftercare following a TPLO procedure, described as “100% excellent.” - Overnight urgent admission with “regularly updated” progress updates through to discharge a couple of days later. - Clear discussion of options for recurring urinary issues in a cat, including catheter drainage, cystotomy surgery, and prevention planning (dietary changes and other surgery options). It is also listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility.

PetRepair Vets is an independent, privately owned clinic founded in early 2021 by Dr. Gabor Nemes. Based on the clinic’s own information, it’s set up for more involved medical and surgical work (including emergency/critical care, orthopaedics, advanced dentistry, imaging, and an in-house lab), rather than just routine check-ups. From the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly mention: vets explaining options in plain language; support for anxious or fear-reactive dogs (including patience and taking time to reduce stress); and at least one report of a vet advising where to buy medication cheaper than the practice could supply. One recent review strongly disputes the accuracy of clinical notes and describes a distressing consultation involving a cat, concerns about oxygen therapy, and follow-up handled via a solicitor—so experiences appear mixed.

Barnsley Vets4Pets Ltd is part of the Vets4Pets group, and the website says it has been run by Dr Caroline Richards and Dr Peter Richards since 2002. The practice is set up for both routine care and more advanced hospital-style work: the site lists in-house CT, orthopaedics and spinal surgery, plus rehabilitation (hydrotherapy/physiotherapy). In the latest reviews, owners describe pets going from scan to surgery quickly (including over the Christmas period), and also mention end-of-life support such as helping a family get “one more day” before euthanasia and sending a handwritten condolence card. One recent review strongly disputes the clinic’s decision-making, alleging “unnecessary procedures” and rough handling of cats—so experiences reported are not uniformly positive.

Churchfield Veterinary Centre is a long-established practice (the website says it has been operating since the 1930s) and states it provides a 24/7 emergency service every day of the year. Reviews describe pets being made more comfortable during visits—particularly nervous animals—and multiple long-term clients (e.g., 16 years and 45+ years) say they’ve stayed with the practice over decades. One recent negative review describes overhearing a vet and trainee criticising a previous client, including swearing, through doors that weren’t soundproof.
