PetRepair Vets

PetRepair Vets is an independent, privately owned clinic in Barnsley, founded in early 2021 by Dr. Gabor Nemes. The clinic is set up for more involved medical and surgical work as well as routine care, with website-listed capabilities including emergency and critical care, orthopaedics, advanced dentistry, imaging, and an in-house lab. Recent feedback is largely very positive, especially around clear communication, compassionate handling, and support for anxious pets, though there is also one serious negative complaint.

Services

•General veterinary care and longer consultations: The clinic lists 15-minute consultations, preventive care, pet health plans, and second opinions.
•Emergency, surgery, and more complex treatment: Website information includes emergency and critical care, surgery including orthopaedics, and regenerative medicine. Recent reviews also mention urgent care for a very sick cat, an emergency visit for an African grey, and treatment for a tortoise.
•Dentistry and diagnostics: Advanced dentistry is listed, including a dental suite with digital dental radiography. One recent reviewer specifically mentions their dog having dental surgery here. The clinic also lists X-ray/digital radiography, ultrasound, and an in-house laboratory.
•Ongoing medical cases: Reviews mention help with allergy-related problems, recurrent infections, post-operative allergic reactions, and severe itching/skin issues, alongside praise for vets explaining options clearly.
•Other listed services and equipment: Travel certificates are offered, and the clinic also mentions advanced ophthalmological equipment.

Pricing

A very limited amount of published pricing suggests the clinic may sit around average, but this is based on very few comparable services. Review comments on cost are mixed but fairly consistent in tone: some owners describe the clinic as reasonably priced and appreciate honest advice, including being told where medication could be bought more cheaply elsewhere, while another says it is not the cheapest.

People

•Dr. Gabor Nemes: Founder of the clinic. Reviews describe him as clear, thorough, and highly trusted, with owners praising the time he takes to explain conditions and treatment options.
•Dr. Aleksandra Nowicka: Named repeatedly in reviews for her professionalism, calm manner, and gentle handling. Owners especially praise her care with nervous dogs and support around a dog's dental surgery.
•Rochelle: Mentioned positively by name in a recent review as helpful.
•Nurses and reception team: Reviews regularly praise the front desk team for being welcoming, reassuring, and knowledgeable, and one reviewer specifically thanked the nurses involved in their pet's care.

Reviews

PetRepair Vets has a 4.9-star Google rating from 229 reviews.

•Recent reviewers are overwhelmingly positive about the clinic's manner and communication, often saying vets explain things clearly and treat owners with respect as well as care for the animal.
•Compassionate handling is a strong theme, particularly for nervous or fear-reactive dogs, with owners describing patient, lower-stress visits than they had experienced elsewhere.
•Recent examples of care mentioned in reviews include dental surgery for a dog, ongoing treatment for allergy-related problems, and care for a tortoise, an African grey, and a very sick cat. Reception staff and nurses are also frequently praised.
•One detailed 1-star review describes a very distressing cat consultation, disputes the accuracy of the clinical notes, and raises concerns about oxygen therapy and CCTV/record handling. That account sits in clear contrast to the otherwise strongly positive recent feedback.

We wholeheartedly recommend this veterinary clinic! ❤️ Our dog Odi underwent dental surgery here, and from the very first contact we felt he was in the best possible hands. Special thanks go to Dr Aleksandra for her professionalism, clear explanation of the procedure, incredible gentleness, and genuine care for Odi. Her calm approach and dedication gave us real peace of mind during a very stressful time. We would also like to thank the entire team for their kindness, patience, and wonderful care both before and after the procedure. The atmosphere at the clinic is full of empathy and true love for animals. The surgery went smoothly, and Odi is recovering well. We are extremely grateful for such professional and compassionate care. We highly recommend this clinic to every pet owner! 🐾💚

I can't praise the team at Pet repair vets highly enough. From the girls on reception, who are knowledgeable and caring. To Dr Gabor and all the nurses who looked after my Tortoise. They went above and beyond the care i expected, to which I'll be forever grateful.

Pet Repair Vets CARE for your pets! I have taken both my staffy and Labrador here for the last 3 + years, and they have both received the best care and treatment. My staffy was extremely nervous at the vets, and showed signs of fear aggression, but with some care and compassion they were able to treat him with far less stress than with other vet practices. My labrador is extremely sensitive with a number of allergies resulting in frequent infections and treatments and the whole team treat him (& me) like part of the family. Despite our many visits, (some quite traumatic due to complications from allergic reactions), my lab is still always happy to see the team. Gabor goes over and above, and spent a considerable amount of time when the practice was closed with my lab, due to concern over his condition due to post op allergic reactions. Not the cheapest vets around, but you get what you pay for in terms of care and I could not recommend them enough. Thank you for looking after my pets as if they were your own!

On 21 October 2025, I brought my beautiful boy cat to PetRepair Vets after a frightening choking episode the night before. He had spent most of the morning cuddling and playing on the couch, bright, affectionate, alert, and purring — exactly as would have been visible on the waiting-room CCTV. I felt hopeful and proud and kept looking back toward reception expecting someone to comment on him. A photo that morning shows how well he was before the consultation. Despite this, the clinical notes later stated: “presented depressed, tachypnoeic, in respiratory distress.” During the consultation, the vet examined my fur baby's neck and immediately suggested euthanasia. I said: “I do not want him put down at this time. I will take him home and arrange care there.” The vet pulled him back and pressed on his neck again. Immediately my fur baby began choking, and the vet repeatedly said: “sorry, sorry, sorry.” While my boy was being treated out back, the assistant said: “It was too much for him coming here.” I told her it was because the vet had pressed on his neck, and she nodded. The vet repeated the same phrase several times that the visit had been too much. This felt rehearsed and emotionally manipulative, leaving me frightened and powerless. During oxygen therapy, I could not feel any airflow from the mask. When I asked, I was told it was on. The practice’s notes stated: “Will not tolerate face mask for oxygen therapy.” The solicitor later confirmed the machine was operational and no logs are retained. In my experience, however, he did not receive effective airflow, he wasn't resisting the mask but lying still this has left me concerned. I explicitly asked for CCTV footage of our visit. The practice said: “Our CCTV system is exclusively for the security of the premises… footage from 21st October 2025 had already been automatically deleted.” The solicitor repeated: “As stated previously, our client’s CCTV system does not cover the consultation or preparation areas… no footage from 21 October 2025 remains available.” Neither clarified whether there was CCTV in the waiting room. I have since received a photo showing a camera there, contradicting their statements. This felt evasive and misleading. I believe CCTV in consulting rooms should be mandatory for accountability. The practice wrote: “As a gesture of goodwill… we waived charges totalling £320.” ??? wow - I should be grateful then should I? After my follow-up requests for full records, oxygen logs and clarity on CCTV, the practice involved a solicitor, which felt heavy-handed and intimidating when I was merely exercising my legal right to records. Seeing my beautiful boy choke and struggle, leaving with him deceased, the repeated scripted statements, refusal to state that CCTV is in the waiting room, and contradictory statements about CCTV left me feeling devastated, powerless, and manipulated. I am reporting this practice to the regulatory body because the notes about my boy's presentation were completely inaccurate. I hope my experience encourages improvements in transparency, honesty, and accountability, and supports the introduction of mandatory CCTV in consultation rooms to protect pets and their families.
