My little dog Ned hasn’t been producing tears for a couple of months. The Ripon branch advised us to see Gary from veterinary vision at Thirsk. His appointment today was very hopeful and a plan of action is now in place to help Ned.

I just love this veterinary practice the receptionist always greets you with a smile, I was feeling a bit flustered with rushing but it wasn't a problem being 5 mins late. Every vet my two dogs have seen makes me and my dogs calm and relaxed. The professional advice I was given was exceptional, the practice are more than happy to listen to your views on treatment pathways and the best way to tick all the boxes so you yourself (the ownrer) are happy with treating your pet. I cannot recommend this practice enough. My dogs normally are seen in Northallerton but due to unfortunate circumstances I had to use Thirsk, Northallerton will be opening again soon, but wherever you go you are definitely more than welcome. Teddy & Noahs pawrent Thankyou
