Pennine Veterinary Referrals

Outstanding care from start to finish Pennine Veterinary Referrals recently carried out patella luxation surgery on my little dog Coco, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the exceptional care we received. Alasdair and his team did an amazing job—professional, skilled, and truly compassionate throughout the entire process. Every team member we met was kind and considerate, taking the time to explain everything clearly and reassure us. The reception staff were especially lovely—friendly, helpful, and always welcoming, which made a stressful time so much easier. Thank you to everyone at Pennine Veterinary Referrals for looking after my fur baby with such genuine care. I highly recommend them to anyone needing specialist treatment.

I had to take my dachshund Philip here following a particularly complicated break which subsequently required surgery. Alasdair and the team there were amazing. The surgery he was undergoing was explained to me in great detail and, in terms I understood. I felt confident throughout that he was in the best hands. I was updated throughout the day and the girls emailed the next day checking up on him which was a nice touch. He has since been back and his leg is healing very well. 5 star care made a distressing time much easier. Thank you!

Wow is all I can say. After being completely stuck with what to do after our dog tore her cruciate and getting lots of different opinions and options, Alasdair and his team made us feel so at ease, gave us relevant and easy to follow information and left us clear on what to do next. We felt so supported and understood, and very welcome by the girls on the desk. They squeezed her in at short notice for her consultation and did her surgery on the same day, home by 5pm that evening and is healing nicely. They also managed the insurance claim which was paid to me in two days, and sent us a check in email the next day to see how she is getting on. 10/10 service and I am so grateful for their support of Bella. I know the cost of surgery and the overall experience is overwhelming, but you definitely get the service you pay for!!!

Massive thank you to Alasdair and the team for their outstanding care and patience with our Lab puppy's broken leg. We couldn't have asked for more, the team were superb with him and he looked forward to the stokes and fuss they gave him on each visit. Communication was excellent and it was never too much when we had a question or wanted to check something. Thank you again, you've really helped us during what has been a very stressful time. Rup, Abbie & Alfie

Where do I even begin with this absolute star of a vetinary practice! Our 11 year old staffy was rushed into Pennine yesterday morning due to lameness in her legs. Within hours she recieved a full blood test, CT scan, MRI and surgery! Our vet Alasdair called us after each test with an update and straight after surgery. She had to be kept in overnight to recover from her anesthetic and one of the beautifully thoughtful nurses, Phillipa surprised me with a photo of our little Bella all tucked up in her bed and looking as happy as she could be. We rescued Bella and due to her traumatic start in life she is extremely nervous when without us but the team gave her all the cuddles she needed and more! Something that has never happened at another vet before and what I cant praise enough was Alasdair's patience with explaining exactly what he did during the surgery and why he did it. He kindly showed us her CT scan and MRI results in person and the passion he has for his work is truly inspiring. Last but by no means least, all the ladies on reception were absolutely incredible. They offered me a tissue and comfort when we had to leave Bella for surgery and when we collected her this morning they all came to say hello and update on how she had been. The practice itself is absolutely stunning and kept impeccably clean. This is a practice and a team that really do care and I would trust them with Bella's life.
