#11 Vet in Rochdale, Greater Manchester
Peter Fenton Equine Vets Ltd – Vets in Rochdale
Clinic Overview
Peter Fenton Equine Vets Ltd is an equine-only veterinary practice that operates via visits (owners note you call and a vet comes out, rather than bringing a horse into a small-animal clinic). The structured clinic data also lists emergency veterinary services (24/7 or extended hours).
Based on the latest reviews available, owners most often describe routine and ongoing horse care—especially dental work—alongside responsive support for urgent situations. Specific examples mentioned include vets coming out to do dentals and being “on time and prepared with everything they needed,” and one owner reporting that in an emergency they were “usually there within the hour.” One negative review describes an appointment for dental work being cancelled around 90 minutes beforehand due to a same-day prepayment protocol the owner says they weren’t told about, followed by difficulty getting calls returned and an unsympathetic response from the head of the practice.
Services
- •Equine veterinary visits/call-outs (owners explicitly describe that you call and the vet visits you).
- •Emergency veterinary services (listed in the structured clinic data; one review also describes emergency attendance “within the hour”).
- •Equine dentistry (multiple reviews reference dental work/dentals being carried out during visits).
- •Phone advice triage via reception (one owner describes reception taking queries, checking with a vet, and getting an answer back, while noting some issues can’t be diagnosed over the phone and may require a visit).
People
- •Peter (vet): described as “very patient and kind” with a pony over a multi-year relationship; also mentioned attending dental work alongside “Mo” and taking time to ask about the horse’s background.
- •Rachel: credited in one review with “sorting” two horses and showing progress over time (the reviewer references before-and-after pics).
- •Mo: attended a first dental visit with Peter; described as friendly but professional.
- •Reception/office team: repeatedly mentioned as helpful—prompt at replies, answering questions about costs, and acting as a link between owners and vets for queries.
Reviews
4.6 stars from 31 reviews. The written reviews available are mostly very positive about the vets’ handling of horses and the practicality of the call-out service, with one detailed complaint about appointment cancellation and communication.
“”
- •Call-out model for horses is repeatedly highlighted (you call, and a vet visits).

- •Owners mention good handling of nervous/young horses (“patient and kind”).
- •Emergency responsiveness is described by one reviewer as typically within about an hour.

Appalling customer service. After being with the vet for 5 years+, I had an appointment booked for dental work for my horse which they cancelled 90 minutes before. When I called the practice this was apparently because I hadn’t paid for the appointment before 11am on the day. Not only was I not informed about this protocol but I also called at 11.10am as I had been working in the morning. When I eventually got hold of the head of the practice, after multiple phone calls which were not returned. He was very unsympathetic and did not acknowledge why I was so upset about the huge inconvenience of the last minute cancellation as I had taken the afternoon of work unpaid for the appointment. I have decided to move to a different vet after the service I have received from Peter Fenton. I can confirm the service I have been given, even as a new client, at the vet I have moved to has been much more satisfactory. My advice would be to avoid.

Peter and Mo came out for the first time to do a dental on my horse Guinness. They were wonderful! Friendly but professional. On time and prepared with everything they needed. They were lovely with Guinness and took a few minutes to ask about his story. Their reception team are prompt at replies and answered all my questions about costs etc. They came highly recommended to me and I now would recommend them to anyone for equine veterinary care.

As Peter Fenton is an Equine (horse) Vet you cannot take your animals there as you would to a small vetinary practice. You call the vet & they visit you! The Receptionists are all really caring & helpful. You can ring with a query & the Receptionist will ask a vet who is usually out visiting other horses. However you ALWAYS get an answer & your horse may need to see a vet as they can't really diagnose over the Phone. If you have an emergency they are usually there within the hour. I have been with Practice for 11 years & would not go anywhere else!
