Shuttleworth Veterinary Group is a training facility for veterinary nurses (as listed in the clinic data). Recent reviews describe the practice handling longer-term medical management (one owner mentions “lots of visits” for a chronic condition) and procedures under general anaesthetic, including peri-operative communication such as photo updates sent via WhatsApp during the stay. Experiences in the latest reviews are mostly positive, but there is also a detailed 1‑star account describing a very different experience: being presented with an MRI (£8,000) or euthanasia as the only options for a dog’s foot injury, plus concerns about communication and approach.

Rawtenstall Vets4Pets Ltd is part of the Vets4Pets group and lists a wide range of in‑house diagnostics and surgical options (including digital X‑ray/ultrasound, in‑house lab work, dentistry with dental X‑ray, and procedures such as cruciate surgery and fracture repair). The practice also states it uses separate waiting areas and wards for cats, dogs and small furries, plus an isolation unit. The latest reviews show a split experience: several owners describe unhurried consultations (including time for questions during a health check tied to a “Complete Care Plan”), staff cuddling/settling nervous pets, and supportive handling around end-of-life care (including a condolence card). A smaller number of recent reviews describe serious concerns, including a missed cancer concern, dissatisfaction with stitch quality after a procedure, and a complaint about how a dog with a heart murmur was handled during an attempted heart scan (long wait in a kennel and disagreement over sedation/handling).
