I took my (near) 5-year-old Cavapoo to Bowland Vets for a check-up. He’s had gunky ears for a few years and is very sensitive about anyone trying to poke around and clean them. Hats off to Charlotte - she went right in there and cleared out a load of mess. He shook his head for a few hours afterwards, but then was so much more comfortable. She did what no other vet or groomer had dared to do. Nice one!

I honestly couldn’t recommend Bowland Vets enough for the care and compassion they’ve shown both throughout my dog Oscar’s long life and sadly, during his passing. The team have always gone above and beyond, treating him with such kindness and respect every step of the way. They’ve always treated Oscar as an individual, focusing on his specific needs rather than just his age, which meant so much. I’ll always be grateful for the support and empathy they’ve shown, it truly made all the difference. I would trust them wholeheartedly with any pets I have in the future and recommend them to ANY pet owner. Again from the bottom of my heart thank you 💜

We're from Leeds but spend time at a holiday park so we use this vet. 100% professional... From the reception staff to the nurses/vets. Good online booking and reminders.... Better than my GP. We're members of their plan which is great value for money on all the main things required as a pet owner.

Bowland is by far the best Vets we have Been to. All of the vets really care and the whole surgery is very professional and efficient. Nice atmosphere and the only vets my timid Dog likes going to. Both of my dogs are in better health since being with bowland vets.

Beautiful practice. Wouldn’t feel comfortable taking my boys anywhere else now, the care and advice you get is second to none and so refreshing to see an independently owned veterinary practice. Sian is great with them and I just love how she remembers them when they come in for a visit! All the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Keep up the good work guys 🙌🏼.
