The Pet Vet Barnsley – Vets in Barnsley

Updated January 2026
Independent Clinic

Clinic Overview

The Pet Vet Barnsley is part of The Pet Vet group and is set up for both routine care and urgent cases, with emergency veterinary services listed as 24/7 or extended-hours in the clinic data. The website also states no surcharge for weekend appointments, including for unregistered customers. Facilities and services highlighted include in-house imaging (X-ray, ultrasound, dental X-ray) and an in-house laboratory, with a notable focus on dentistry (including “advanced dentistry” and “dental restorative treatment”) and care for exotic/small animals.

Recent reviews add concrete examples of what that looks like in practice: owners describe emergency same-day fitting-in, multiple post-op checks after dental work, and staff who are confident with small/exotic species (rats, rabbits, birds).

Based on the website summary and reviews, services and capabilities mentioned include

  • Vet consultations and nurse clinics
  • Home visits
  • Routine and emergency treatment (one review describes being “fit in at last minute” for an emergency appointment)
  • Diagnostics on-site: X-ray, ultrasound, dental X-ray, and an in-house laboratory
  • Dentistry: “advanced dentistry” and “dental restorative treatment”; reviews mention treatment of dental malocclusion with multiple post-op checks
  • Orthopaedics (listed on the website)

  • Veterinary Nurse Training facility (listed in the clinic data)
