Best Vets in Clitheroe – Complete Local Guide

Bowland Vets is described in reviews as an independently owned practice. The clinic appears set up for in-house diagnostics and surgery, with facilities including two operating theatres, a dental suite with x‑ray, an imaging suite (digital x‑ray and ultrasound), and an in-house laboratory, plus separate dog/cat/exotics wards and four consulting rooms. Recent reviews repeatedly mention efficient scheduling (including being “fit in” for a paw injury), online booking and reminders, and vets who investigate before recommending procedures (one owner says further investigation avoided “un necessary procedures” suggested elsewhere).

Mearley Veterinary Group is a multi-site practice (with multiple branches listed on its website). It offers veterinary nurse training and, via its Plus Plans, 24/7 access to an online vet. Reviews most often describe clear explanations during appointments, punctual consults, and staff being particularly good with cats—alongside a minority of comments about high costs and inconsistent follow-up. Concrete specifics mentioned by owners include: - Online appointment booking once registered. - Neutering with an added cone/vest discussion afterward (including an extra-cost vest mentioned by one owner). - Out-of-hours treatment used for a torn/pulled nail (one owner cites a £250 bill). - Dental work discussed and estimated (one owner says the estimate was “hundreds of pounds less” than another clinic’s).

Town & Country Veterinary Group is presented on its website as part of Myerscough Veterinary Group (11 branches), and it promotes a Pet Health Club® Plus plan that includes consultations. Recent reviews most often describe same-day help for urgent problems, including a vet “jump[ing] into action” with medication and arranging a scan quickly. Owners also mention support from the whole team (reception, vet, nursing staff) and describe the practice as clean, with one reviewer noting routine care such as an 18‑month booster.

Myerscough Veterinary Group is part of a wider group with 11 branches (as described on its website), rather than a single standalone clinic. In the latest reviews available to us, owners most often talk about routine consultations and treatments such as injections, and about staff being helpful with queries and willing to go out of their way—one review describes a vet driving in on a Saturday to collect paperwork and emailing copies to help an owner who was stuck while travelling. There’s also a sharp disagreement on value and diagnostic thoroughness: one owner reports spending “hundreds and hundreds” on visits and allergy treatment before finding the issue was fleas, while other reviewers explicitly say the clinic “don’t charge the earth.”

Dalehead Veterinary Group (Dalehead Services LLP) is an independent practice that treats both companion animals and farm livestock, with in-house surgical and diagnostic facilities (including digital X‑ray, ultrasound, endoscopy and laboratory work) and in-patient care. The practice also states it provides its own out-of-hours service, with emergency calls handled by a member of the practice team and attended by dedicated companion-animal or farm-animal vets. In the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly describe: - Prompt appointments even when busy (one caller says reception found a slot for an unwell older dog). - Thorough examinations with clear explanations of what the problem could be. - Follow-up planned (e.g., a cat booked in for a re-check after an injury/limp). - Transparent pricing conversations (one owner says costs were explained in advance and then stuck to).
