Sat hearing listening to the Vet and trainee openly slagging off the previous client through the completely non sound proof doors is not acceptable. Saying she needs 10 minutes to calm down due to the conditions of the puppies she'd just treated whilst im sat waiting for an emergency consultation for my dog. She was swearing as well.Unprofessional

A very good vet practice. All the people here are friendly and care deeply about the animals. My previous dog was very apprehensive of vets but was always much happier here.

I have been going to Churchfield Vets for nearly 16 years. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They listen to what you have to say and make the animals visit has comfortable as possible as well has the owner. The surgery is very clean and welcoming. I would definitely recommend this veterinary clinic to anyone because of the all round exceptional service.

Love the Barnsley practice, everyone is very friendly , they all look after your pet as they were there own, I’ve been going there many years and wouldn’t go anywhere else , they care about your pets , they go above and beyond for you . My boy can be a little nervous when he goes and they always accommodate for that too . The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable For me it’s the best veterinary practice I’ve ever been to
