Andrew Mellor Vets

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.

Services

•General medical care and diagnostics (stated on the practice website).
•Surgery (stated on the website; also reflected in reviews describing an operation that “saved [a dog’s] foot” and other “life-saving” interventions).
•Spaying (mentioned by a reviewer describing care around a spay appointment).
•Second opinions (a reviewer attended after a difficult experience elsewhere and describes detailed explanations and thorough treatment).
•Cat and dog handling: reviews highlight efforts to keep a cat “comfortable and stress-free,” and the premises reportedly include separate cat/dog sections.

People

Good parking compared to the old surgery, much easier getting the dog ready. Nice and roomy inside. A definite improvement over the old place

Andrew Mellor Vets is an incredible vet practice. Andrew and his team are amazing informative caring compassionate and very helpful, nothing is too much trouble. Originally we were with another vet who referred our first dog to Andrew. He performed an operation which saved his foot we were so lucky. After that we transferred permanently. We are so glad we found this wonderful Vet practice. The new premises are lovely bright roomy and welcoming. And there is a specific section for cats and dogs how very thoughtful!

After an awful experience with Vet4pets Andrew Mellor vets was highly recommended to me for a second opinion and i can not recommend enough. Andrew was absolutely lovely and so were all the other vets. Andrew was so gentle and reassuring — not just with my cat, but with me as a worried pet parent. They took the time to explain everything, answered all my questions, and made sure my cat was as comfortable and stress-free as possible. The treatment was thorough, compassionate, and efficient. I left feeling confident and grateful, knowing my fur baby was in the best hands. My cat is already on the mend and feeling more like their playful self again. 🐾💕

I trust these vets implicitly with all my pets. They have saved two of my dogs lives now! The team radiates compassion and understanding, they make you feel like your pets are just as important to them as our family. They do what is necessary, while not upselling. Special mention to RVN Ellie and Vet Andrew for their surgical genius!!

Andrew Mellor and his team are angels without wings. Andrew doesn't try to convince you to have operations or treatment for the purpose of making money. He is honest and totally transparent. He thinks only of your loved one. He has been the 🐕 doctor for our beloved Kiayha since we first adopted her. Andrew and his crew were amazing on our last visit. So caring and compassionate . We cannot sing their praises enough. Our family would never register with any other vet. Thank you Andrew and your angels.
