What some of our Customers say

"The team at Galtres vets are fantastic. I have experience with them for over 16 years as both an animal owner and local cattery business. The team are always friendly, committed and well informed. I get full feedback in a way I can understand the diagnosis. I am also always impressed with the knowledge of the reception staff too, very professional and helpful with lots of great advice. Keep up the great work! "

Sarah Potts, owner of
Hambleton Hills Cattery, Flawith.

“ Galtres Vets have been providing first class advice and care for my dogs for the last eleven years. From breeding and birth through the whole lifecycle to elderly care, I could not rate the Galtres team more highly. You don’t just have to take my word for it, the dogs are always keen to go in when it’s their turn and there’s no better judge than the dogs themselves.”

Ros Kind, Kennel Club Assured Breeder and Chairman of the Entlebucher Mountain Dog Club of Great Britain.

“Since moving to Stillington 11 years ago, Galtres Vets have always been their for our animals. I think we probably have the longest list of animals on their client list and they’ve always treated them with the greatest care. They’ve always been brilliant in general care, emergencies, have helped in the saddest of times and assisted in bringing new life into the world. They are so helpful in every way and go above and beyond to help our animals.”

Nicky Sutcliffe, owner of Sport Horse Select and EQUI Travel Safe.
