Wolds Veterinary Clinic

Wolds Veterinary Clinic describes itself as an independent small-animal practice offering both first-opinion and referral work, with a purpose-built setup and equipment including a CT scanner (opened in 2017 and later expanded). Recent reviews most often talk about routine neutering/spays with structured aftercare, plus more complex surgery cases (including orthopaedics), with examples like post-op check-ups included after a spay and proactive update calls while a dog was hospitalised after a hind-leg fracture operation. One recent review raises a sharp concern about high pricing (nearly £2,000 for “basic treatments”) and feeling judged when questioning costs, which conflicts with other recent reviews describing neutering prices as “reasonable.”

Reviews

4.8 stars from 536 reviews. The latest written reviews available to us include multiple routine surgical experiences (spays/castrations) and one recent complaint focused on costs and staff attitude around pricing. “”

• •Routine neutering/spays described as efficient with quick turnaround (e.g., a cat ready for collection “just a few hours later” after castration).
• •Aftercare gets specific mentions, including two post-op check-ups included after a spay, and “first class” aftercare following a laparoscopic spay.
• •Communication during inpatient care: one owner reports regular update calls while their dog was away for several days after orthopaedic surgery.
• •Handling messy/stressful situations: one review highlights a nurse cleaning a cat and carrier after an accident en route.
• •Pricing is contested: some reviews say neutering costs were “reasonable”/a pleasant surprise, while one recent reviewer reports being quoted nearly £2,000 for “basic treatments” and felt staff attitude was shaming when questioning the cost.
