The Veterinary Clinic – Vets in Leek
Clinic Overview
The Veterinary Clinic is repeatedly described as a long-running “family” vet for some owners (15+ years mentioned), with continuity around a vet called Ralf/Ralph and a team that will refer on for specialist treatment when they think it’s needed. Reviews give concrete examples of what the practice seems set up for: ongoing management of chronic pain (one dog attends fortnightly acupuncture with Jenny), dental procedures on an older dog described as “fairly substantial,” and prompt diagnosis/treatment when a dog was “very poorly.” One reviewer also highlights openness about pricing (no figures given).
Services
Services and capabilities mentioned in the latest reviews include
- •Acupuncture for pain management (ongoing sessions referenced, delivered by Jenny).
- •Dental work / dental surgery (described as “fairly substantial dental work” for a 12-year-old dog).
- •General consultations and treatment (owners describe diagnosis and treatment, including rapid response when a dog was seriously unwell).
- •Specialist referral when recommended by the vet (owners say they’ve only gone elsewhere on Ralf’s recommendation).
- •End-of-life care (owners mention support for pets “who made their last journey with them,” without specific details of what was provided).
People
- •Ralf / Ralph (vet; exact role not explicitly stated): Mentioned across multiple reviews over many years. Owners describe him recommending specialist treatment when appropriate, and being involved in cases ranging from serious illness (diagnosis and treatment “with speed”) to dental work on an older dog.
- •Jenny: Named as providing acupuncture to help with pain; one owner reports attending every two weeks for this.

Our Poppy is 15 and a half and sadly has visited the vets over her life hundreds of times. She has been a patient of Leek Vets all of that time and has only ever been elsewhere when Ralf has recommended specialist treatment. We don’t see the vets as a service we see them as part of Poppy’s family. They have always shown unbelievable care for her, she’s easy to love as more of a fluffy baby. We now visit every two weeks for acupuncture with Jenny to help with pain and if your dog is struggling I would highly recommend it. We have seen staff come and go but apart from the first few years Ralf has always been there, I know everyone has their own experiences but we truly believe you couldn’t ask for better care. Our Poppy wasn’t given the best start health wise but it’s down to that extra special care and consideration that she is still her with us. If you go to ‘the pink vets’ you will not be disappointed. Five stars aren’t enough.

After many years with an increasingly corporate veterinary practice in Congleton/Macclesfield I registered with Ralf and his team in Leek. The difference in attitude and service is great and the openness of pricing etc. is most refreshing. Just had some fairly substantial dental work done on my 12 year old spaniel and I am delighted with the level of the surgery and the care she received. Can’t recommend them enough.

We have used this vets for many years and have nothing but praise for Ralph and his team. Our dog Walter were very poorly, they diagnosed the problem and treated him with speed and compassion. I'm glad to say he has made a brilliant recovery. Once again thank you to Ralph and the team.

My family have used this vets for almost 15 years. The care and compassion they have showed all our pets, including those who made their last journey with them, is exceptional, we are lucky to have them. Thank you for everything you do for the people of Leek and their beloved animals.

First class service. Ralf and his team are exceptional. The level of care that our beloved dog (Rue) recieved during her treatment was outstanding; from initial consultation to eventual treatment. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you for all of the help and support.

I recently visited The Leek Veterinary Clinic with my cat Sasha, and I couldn't be more impressed with the care and attention that he received. From the moment we arrived, the staff at the clinic were friendly and welcoming, putting both Sasha and me at ease. The clinic itself was clean and well-maintained, and I could tell that the team takes great pride in providing a comfortable environment for their patients. During our appointment, the veterinarian was knowledgeable, patient, and took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly. Overall, I would highly recommend The Leek Veterinary Clinic to anyone in need of high-quality pet care. They went above and beyond to ensure that Sasha received the best possible treatment, and I'm so grateful for their expertise and compassion. Thank you for everything!

Woof! It's great! My dog: Daisy may have a phobia of Vets, but they always have a warm welcome for her. She likes them when she sees them off-site and I always take that as a good sign! Fabulous Vet's who provide a loving and wonderful service. You will not be disappointed
