I'm migrating to Australia and my dog is coming with me. They've been so good with him and even managed to get blood samples from an extremely wriggly Border Collie without having to sedate him. They were also really helpful when completing the forms required by the export agent. I'd highly recommend them.

I visited Chantry vets yesterday for a routine appointment for my Dog, it was a lovely experience, the lady on reception was very welcoming and gave my dog lots of fuss and attention which he appreciated, she was very knowledgable and was able to answer all of my queries and offer advice. I was the last appointment of the day, I wasn’t rushed at all, the vet was really good, spent time to make my dog feel at ease before performing his health check and annual booster (he didn’t want to leave and appreciated the good boy treats!). To say it was the end of day, it was extremely clean. Great vets, I would highly recommend them

Found a dog wondering the street, in a scruffy state, obviously lost. Took her into my local vets and they refused to do anything. Thankfully reunited with owner via facebook now. Owner had even called vets and they advised they've "not taken any in". I'll l be de-registing my cat from that place ASAP. No duty of care unless they're taking your money!

So. After no phone call or email to discuss my cancellation and the reasons for cancelling my appointment, I have resorted to leaving a review so that everyone else can see how greedy this practice / business has become. In October last year we brought our dog in to have a cyst looked at. We were told just to keep an eye on it and if it got bigger, to let them know. In April 2025 the lump had gradually got bigger so whilst in Thirsk we had him looked at again. The quote for removal was £1575. Details were sent to chantry’s and I also asked them for a price based on our dogs examination at another vet. Chantry’s quoted the same price. We then went away on our trip to Europe for 3 months. Last week we noticed the lump had got bigger still. So, we took him to a vet in Trento, Italy. Amazingly the EXACT SAME operation, with us beside him before and after anaesthesia, with after care anti biotics, price was 250 euros!!!! 200 euros if paid in cash due to their tax laws!!! So, Chantry’s. Where is your care for animal welfare and how come you can quote a ridiculous amount for a routine operation!? There are poorer people than us who love their animals just as much as we love our dog but cannot afford your horrid quotes when operations abroad are PROVEN to be a fraction of the price! People, pet owners, use this group at your peril.
