The best vets my dog has ever been to, could not recommend Appleton Hall Vets enough. My senior dog is quite nervous and dog reactive, they always accommodate his needs and treat him with lots of care, attention when he finally calms down. Even able to get bloods without sedation, whilst he cries the whole place down, I always leave with more knowledge for my dog after every visit and all the staff are lovely too. Thanks for taking such good care of my boy!

We have used this practice for many years and they were so kind and helpful when we had to make the very difficult decision to get our much loved labrador put to sleep. The way they handled everything with such care and consideration made a very difficult time a little bit easier.

I cannot speak highly enough of Appleton Hall Veterinary Clinic and the amazing care they have given to my dog, Skyler, since I adopted her a year ago. From day one, they have gone above and beyond to ensure she receives the very best treatment and support. What truly stands out is their dedication and availability — they are always just a phone call away, no matter the time of day or night, and they never hesitate to offer advice or reassurance. Skyler was diagnosed with severe allergies, which was a worrying and difficult time, but the team at Appleton Hall handled it with exceptional professionalism and compassion. They worked tirelessly with us to identify the allergens and explore different treatments, and thanks to their expertise, we finally found the right medication that has made a huge difference to her quality of life. Every member of staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about both pets and owners. The clinic itself is always spotless, welcoming, and organised, which really reflects the high standards they maintain. My experience has been nothing but positive, and I have full confidence and trust in them moving forward. I highly recommend Appleton Hall Veterinary Clinic to anyone who wants the absolute best care for their pet. Thank you for everything — I look forward to continuing Skyler’s journey with you! 🐾

Everything you would want from a vets. The staff are just so lovely and caring. My little Poochon Claude had an op on his leg, they kept us informed on the day and I felt very relaxed leaving him in their care. Thank you so much for all you have done for him.
