Shipley Vets lists a broad set of in-practice diagnostics and procedures on its website, including dentistry, endoscopy, lab tests, surgery, and X‑ray/ultrasound, and it is described in your clinic data as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. Recent reviews include straightforward clinical tasks such as rabbit tooth trimming and highlight specific staff help (one reviewer names “Kammy” as particularly kind and helpful). However, the latest written reviews also include a detailed negative account describing poor handling of a highly anxious cat, delayed use of appropriate restraint equipment, and dissatisfaction with the vet’s communication during the consultation.

The lady vet did a good job of cutting my rabbit’s teeth. Feel they care about the animals.

We’d always brought our own and my parents cats here, but after today we won’t be returning. Whilst the other staff were absolutely first class, the vet himself gave off some pretty strange vibes. Found it strange he made no eye contact as I walked in, and with a cat in full fear he didn’t even start by altering the tone of his voice. I appreciate time is precious, but turning the carry box upside down to a petrified cat isn’t exactly welcoming and it was all downhill from there. I immediately explained her vet anxiety and expressed a four year cycle of her needing to be dealt with by staff wearing big thick gloves as they do every year. He thought knew better and persisted by trying to give her an injection without support. He asked me to hold her down, and stupidly I obliged. She immediately lost all composure and went for the hissing, biting and scratching, unfortunately all in my direction. He then proceeded to cover her head with the towel from her carry box, which only served to cause further distress. Only after the cat was completely distressed did he decide to follow my advice and take her away so she could be effectively restrained by someone with the correct equipment. When he returned he asked about worming treatment. I queried what forms the treatment comes in as I only knew of spot on treatment. He asked why I asked, which was odd. I explained she reacted poorly to the spot on treatment last time as it clearly caused irritation. He then said we can prescribe a tablet, and before agreeing I asked the price. At this point, his unprofessionalism peaked, as clearly another 45 seconds of his life was too precious where he turned his back to me, let out the biggest sigh you’d expect from a pubescent 15 year old before delivering his answer. I spent £89.72 and left with an extremely distressed cat. We will not be returning, which is a great shame as the prior veterinarians at Shipley were very good. Clearly standards have dropped.
