Milnrow Village Vets Ltd

Milnrow Village Vets Ltd is an independent practice (not a corporate group) that opened on 10 July 2023 and is owned by two vets (the website describes them as experienced). Based on the website and recent reviews, it’s set up for routine care and first-opinion cases (consults, vaccines, microchipping, dental care and surgery), with some thoughtful touches around reducing stress and supporting owners through difficult appointments.

Concrete details owners mention include

• •A bereavement room used during euthanasia appointments, described as “a welcome touch in an awful situation.”
• •A separate space/room for dogs and cats, which one reviewer says reduces stress for animals.
• •Follow-up support after a pet’s death (a reviewer describes the team calling afterwards to talk things through).
• •Time spent in consults to listen and investigate an ongoing problem, with one owner saying this was missing at their previous vet.

The clinic also states it accepts student placements (vets/vet nurses) under supervision, and is a veterinary nurse training facility.
