Best Vets in Thornton-Cleveleys – Complete Local Guide

Cleveleys Vets4Pets Ltd is a Vets4Pets-branded practice described on its website as locally owned, with an RCVS-accredited, modern facility that includes separate cat/dog waiting areas and wards plus isolation units. It appears set up for both routine care and more involved medical/surgical work, with in-house diagnostics (e.g., digital X‑ray, ultrasound, ECG/echo, in-house lab) and an operating theatre/hospital ward listed. From the latest reviews available to us, owners most often describe: - support through end-of-life decisions, including making time for families and keeping pets calm and pain-free - clear explanations and shared decision-making (including discussing options around tests/medication rather than pushing one route) - follow-up and continuity, such as post-neutering aftercare calls and a vet phoning late in the day to discuss ongoing treatment

Andrew Mellor Veterinary Surgeons describes itself as a family-owned practice: founded in 1974 (by David Wadsworth) and bought by Andrew Mellor and his family in 2012. The clinic states it is RCVS approved and VetGDP approved, and that it is a training practice for veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses. From the latest reviews, owners most often describe it as a practice that handles surgical and urgent medical problems confidently: one review mentions an operation that saved a dog’s foot, another says the team has saved two dogs’ lives, and spays are specifically mentioned. Several owners also emphasise the decision-making style—described as not pushing treatment “to make money” and not upselling, alongside taking time to explain options (notably in a cat second-opinion appointment). Facilities-wise, reviewers mention newer premises that are brighter and roomier, with separate sections for cats and dogs.

Andrew Mellor Vets is a family-run veterinary practice (purchased by Andrew Mellor and his family after he joined in 1997 and became lead vet around 2005). The practice is RCVS approved and VetGDP approved. Based on the website, it aims to provide surgical, medical and diagnostic services; recent reviews add specific signals around soft-tissue/orthopaedic-type surgery (an operation described as “saving [a dog’s] foot”), spaying, and second-opinion work where vets “took the time to explain everything” and keep pets “stress-free.” Reviewers also mention the newer premises being bright/roomy with separate areas for cats and dogs, and several owners explicitly say they felt not upsold into unnecessary treatment.

Moy Vets Thornton is a small-animal veterinary practice that (per client reports) offers access to vets and nurses around the clock, and can also coordinate visiting specialist input (a cardiologist is specifically mentioned). Recent reviews describe both urgent care and routine appointments (for example, being “seen straight away,” urgent surgery, and routine vaccinations), with multiple owners highlighting supportive staff during stressful emergencies. A minority of recent reviews raise serious concerns about cost transparency (including an x‑ray quoted at £550) and payment/record-release disputes during ongoing treatment.

Wyrebrooke Mobile Vets is a home-visit veterinary service that focuses on routine care delivered in your own home, with appointments arranged in advance. The website highlights general consultations and health checks, vaccinations, microchipping, and supplying medications/treatments. In the latest written reviews available to us, owners describe home visits that provided practical advice, and mention the vet being patient with a nervous or “dramatic” puppy and handling a cat visit positively.
