I switched from my regular vet to these after feeling we were constantly being ripped off when it came to our dog and the cost of his appointments. The vets here are very professional and friendly and it's worth the drive to Barnsley from Sheffield. My dog used to hate the vets but doesn't mind going here at all.

The only vets worth going to! I have been with many and had some very bad experiences. You can really trust them to do the best for your pet and not to do unnecessary treatments on them to bump up your vets bill. They give free consultations and out of hours care is the most reasonable out there. Animals trust also have a cats only section, where calming spray is provided. They are also much kinder than other vets when your pet passes away. Nose print, paw prints and a snippet of their fur in a tiny glass vial, presented in a lace bag with a ribbon. They really do care. Elizabeth at barnsley practice is the most knowledgable vet you could possibly find to help your cat. Love her to bits. Wonderful place.

We went to animal trust yesterday for the first time in an emergency and unfortunately we had to have our dog put to sleep. Megan the vet was amazing, she was caring thoughtful and considerate. She gave us a full explanation of our choices for him and lots of time to say goodbye. At no time was cost mentioned as it wasn’t the priority she gave that to us and our boy. Our other vets always mentioned cost above everything that’s why I am so glad he had his last time with Animal trust. Thank you. 💔
