Medivet Harrogate Knaresborough Road -Shamrock Veterinary Clinic

Services

• •General small-animal care: routine appointments include check-ups, vaccinations, and first visits for new pets, with recent reviews covering dogs, cats, kittens, and a rabbit. Owners also mention treatment for a stray cat’s abscess, plus microchipping, flea treatment, and worming during the same visit.
• •Dental and longer-term care planning: past feedback describes careful discussions around dental care options and home tooth-cleaning, including a case where an anaesthetic was avoided because of a dog’s heart history. Ongoing monitoring for heart issues is also reflected in reviews from an owner whose dog’s heart murmur was followed over repeat visits.
• •Behaviour-aware handling and continuity of care: reviews repeatedly mention patient, thorough consultations for anxious or excitable dogs, with one owner noting that seeing the same vet over time helped reduce their dog’s stress at appointments.
• •End-of-life and bereavement support: owners have praised the practice’s compassionate care during cancer-related loss, including thoughtful gestures such as a condolence card and paw prints.
• •Emergency and training capability: the practice lists veterinary nurse training among its capabilities, and out-of-hours emergency care is available through one of Medivet’s 24-hour centres.

Pricing

A very limited amount of published pricing suggests the clinic may sit above average, but this is based on very few comparable services. One published fee is an overnight emergency consultation at £130 for care accessed between 7pm and 9am via Medivet’s 24-hour centres. Reviewers also describe prices as reasonable overall, and praise the team for considering what is best for the animal without unnecessary treatment or extra charging.
