The team at Harewood vet are just wonderful. My golden retriever Karma had her tail shut in a door and needed a lot of vet visits over a couple of months to monitor healing and treat infection, then to surgically remove the tail tip after the healing didnt go as planned. The vets helped us learn to monitor Karma's tail at home and allowed us to do bandage changes at home too. I cannot praise the team enough. They listened to us when we told them what was working and what wasnt working at home with the tail bandaging - it felt like a real team effort - and they always got back to us quickly if we felt Karma needed another course of medication or an urgent check up. A special thanks to vets Michael and Yas, vet nurses Erin and Debbie, and the receptionist team. Karma is nearing the end of her healing journey now and we cant wait to see her goof around with her friends at Donquest daycare (where her mum works) again free of bandages and pain! We also appreciate the "Gap only" option with our insurance for payment of Karma's surgery. This took the pressure off significantly. I would also like to note that even after all the vet visits, tail checks, and surgery, Karma still loves going to Harewood Vet. I think this tells you just how much they look after their fluffy clients! Karma rates them 5 stars too!

Harewood Vets are an amazing group of people. I called up first thing Monday morning as our cat had a very swallow face, they said no appointments today but bring him down and leave him with us and we will see him when we can, by 1145 he was home with us all fixed up. Amazing service and kind caring people. Thank you ☺️

Great, friendly staff who make every effort to get to know your animal. After they completed the scan on my dog, they explained everything fully and helped me work out the next step in treatment for my little dog. Thank you for your professionalism.
