Sage Veterinary Group – Vets in Heckmondwike
Clinic Overview
Sage Veterinary Group was established in January 1995 by Graham and Sally Codd. Based on the information available, it appears to handle both routine visits (for example, nail/claw clipping for a dog with arthritis) and end-of-life care (a cat euthanasia after a tumour was identified immediately). Reviewers describe a mix of experiences: one recent account reports handling during a nail trim that caused visible distress, while another describes a euthanasia appointment where the family were given time to say goodbye and felt the pet wasn’t kept in for costly tests.

People
- •Graham and Sally Codd (founders): the website states they established the practice in January 1995.
- •Un-named vet (from reviews): in one account, identified a cat’s tumour immediately and allowed the family as much time as they needed to say goodbye before euthanasia.
- •Receptionist / staff member (from reviews): one owner reports asking for a specific, gentler way of holding their arthritic dog during claw clipping and says the request was ignored twice, with the dog “clamped down on the table” and struggling.
Reviews
Google rating: 4.5 stars from 32 reviews.
- •Handling during nail trims can be a deciding factor: one owner previously felt their arthritic dog was held in a comfortable way, but a more recent visit describes restraint that caused distress and led the owner to leave upset.
- •End-of-life care described as calm and unpressured: one family recounts a tumour being identified quickly, time being given to say goodbye, and feeling that expensive tests weren’t pushed before humane euthanasia.
- •Convenience and general satisfaction appear in brief comments: one reviewer mentions “convenient” treatment, though without detail.

I used to love Sage Vets because when my dog has her claws cut they hold her in a way that she feels comfortable and does not struggle as she has arthritis in her legs. During my recent visit though I asked the receptionist to do this and she completely ignored me and clamped her down on the table. My dog was obviously in distress and struggling so I asked her again to hold her as I asked and once again she completely ignored me and my dog continued to struggle. I never want to witness this again. I left feeling very upset and angry.

My mum wanted me to review Sage as she had to have her cat euthanised; she had a tumour,sadly, which the vet identified straightaway. The vet was lovely and allowed my parents as much time as they needed to say goodbye to Dolly. She wasn't kept in for expensive tests, she was just humanely put to sleep. My parents are both quite elderly and have vowed not to get any more pets so I'm glad their last vet visit was a good one.
