We have been using Pat and the wonderful veterinary nurses at Churnet Valley Vets for over 10 years with our dog and cat. The knowledge and skills of the individuals working here is second to none. All staff know us and our pets by name and take the time to get to know us and them - all care is carefully tailored to suit their needs. We look forward to using their services for many years to come!

Lovely practice, so caring about the animals, Pat gives you such a feeling of confience in his care where other vets I have experienced seem more concerned about cash before care....The whole staff are lovely and Niko is happy with her care here.

Pat and his team went above and beyond for my Teddy. From the moment I walked in I was reassured and made to feel comfortable. Teddy was seen straight away, in a really calm atmosphere. I can't thank you all enough, he's now on the road to recovery 10 teeth 😬 down but the rest are all now pearly whites. Xx

I would highly recommend Pat and the team, who look after my eight dogs. Service levels are excellent which combined with expert knowledge, understanding, caring and realistic fees make for an amazing experience. I took one of my dogs for a consultation today and despite her condition not being common Pat diagnosed and started the treatment within the consultation. I would highly recommend Pat and his team.
