Metrovets: Reviews
Fantastic experience: These vets are amazing. Probably the best we've had. They were recommended to us, and thank God, as they are amazing.
Fantastic experience: Neil has been our family Vet for over 10 years and has looked after all my kittens and cats over the years. He is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate and approachable. No one likes to see their pets sick or suffering but I know with Neil they will receive the right treatment and care they deserve when they are at their most vulnerable. Thank you Neil and his amazing staff - Martyn, Suki, Mo, Coco :)

Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience with Neil and the reception staff these past couple days. Everyone was wonderful, especially with accommodating our emergency appointment. Everyone we spoke with was down to earth, and helped keep our family calm when it was needed the most. Will be our choice of vet for the foreseeable future!
Thank you Jack and Sophie, Scrabble is a little mischief
Fantastic experience: I have an anxious rescue dog who (as all dogs!) hated the vets when we got him - thanks to these amazing guys on reception, in appointments and everything in between he actually loves the vet now and they make such a fuss of him, you can tell everyone here really loves animals. Cant recommend enough!
Thank you Laura, it's a pleasure seeing him and you
Fantastic experience: Great vet with friendly staff
Fantastic experience: Top vets, no bother ever. Great reminders via text. Can get in on short notice. Proactive trying to book you in for regular stuff like flea and worming. Neil is the vet we see and he is as you would expect. Always helpful and puts the animals at ease. He is so quick adminstering jabs etc that our dog doesn't even notice.
Fantastic experience: Staff made such a fuss of our little dog when he was neutered recently. So friendly and made all the difference at this worrying time.
Fantastic experience: 1st class team , Maverick loves going to see Neil and the girls . Mavi always get lots of kisses ...no not just from the girls from Neil ! Thank you everyone, to anyone reading this you will not find a more caring, kind practice .
Fantastic experience: I very much appreciate that my pets see the same well experienced vet every time. Continuity of care is so important & Neil will fit you in if he can. The staff are all polite, & kind at difficult times too. I highly recommend Metrovet's practice.
Fantastic experience: Best Vets in the North East. Neil and staff has been fantastic with my Dogs over the years. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Great vets!! I highly recommend this establishment. The staff are lovely and the vet himself is amazing with my dogs. I Wouldn’t go anywhere else! Thank you for all your help and guidance
Fantastic experience: My wife and I would like to thank Neil for being an amazing vet by looking after our dog Bear right up until the end. Even though it was one of the hardest thing we had to do Neil showed us and Bear a lot of respect and dignity.Best vet in the Northeast . Les & Sonia
Fantastic experience: Not cheap . But the Best place for your pet.
Fantastic experience: My dog has been going here since she was 10 weeks old. She loves Neil and all the staff. She has had a couple of health issues which have been managed extremely well whilst keeping me informed.
Fantastic experience: Excellent all around. Lovely welcoming staff. I got appointment times which suited me perfectly. I also took out the annual care plans for my cat and my dog which offer such good value for money. Neil, the vet, checked out both pets and was caring and knowledgeable. Highly recommended
Fantastic experience: Lola only goes for snapping dew claws been lucky with her really I try keep them short but she snaps them when running Neil is fantastic does things so quick as I'm not of a drama queen never mind dog always used these vets great staff and lovely with our loved pets
Fantastic experience: Smashing vet. Really friendly. Loads of great advice for a new owner like myself.
Positive experience: We go out of our way to come here. Neil and the team are great with our pets past and present. Taking care of them and us especially when there was a tumour diagnosed. I wouldn't go anywhere else
Fantastic experience: Very good service. My cat which had been a stray living in my daughter's greenhouse needed four teeth out. Neil did the extractions and I had to take him back a week later. His mouth has healed well. I have no hesitation in recommending metro vets to anyone.
Negative experience: After reading so many great reviews,we had such high hopes and decided to switch from a large branded vets where our dog was seeing a different vet each time to metrovets.Hoping to get to the bottom of bad painful stomach issues with our dog.We had an incline she had IBD from ongoing symptoms,and we suggested that.Immediately Neil adamantly ruled this out.Without a choice he decided stomach ultra sound and blood tests to be done together.I did ask for bloods to be done first,as this could help to indicate if she then later needed a scan.We weren't too happy with this as it's an extra procedure that can come after doing other tests first, so we decided to cancel the scan,and spoke to the receptionist where we said can we get the bloods first.Her attitude was extremely abrupt and rude,she told us it wasn't our choice it's the vets decision so we therefore left the practice. Finally we have found an amazing vet that listens to owners,and cares about the animals, and not just money from extra procedures,and has a wonderful reception staff too.Oh and eventually we found out that our dog is infact suffering with IBD,this could have been treated well beforehand.
Fantastic experience: We were recommended MetroVets by a friend who said they were the best so when we got our puppy Teddie and noticed quite quickly he was constantly itching and biting his fur this place was the obvious choice. Straight away we put at ease and Neil obviously cares about the animals. After getting tests done to find out the cause of Ted’s skin problems we were told he had a severe dust mite allergy and as you can’t 100% get rid of dust mites, this meant poor Ted would need regular treatment for the rest of his life. Neil showed us the report and gave us all the available options and we never once felt pressured. As there is no way we wanted our little boy to suffer, we decided to go for the monthly allergy injection which helps relieve his symptoms and have been taking Ted for his injection every month for pretty much 7 years. Considering most dogs hate the Vets and our dog knows he is going to get an injection, he pulls to go in every time and still wags his tail. Another thing to note is that when ted cut his paw quite badly, I took him in to get bandaged and asked Neil if I could get some painkillers and was told he didn’t need them which shows he is not about profit first.
Fantastic experience: Lovely staff and vets.i wouldn't go anywhere else
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Metro Vets to everyone. We have used them many times over the years & the care is five star every time. We came in for an emergency appointment as one of our cats who hasn't been well recently injured his neck today. The receptionists were very helpful & super friendly. The Vet was absolutely lovely - He is very professional & kind. I got quite tearful at the appointment as I was so stressed & worried, The Vet was very understanding and sorted everything out for our cat really quickly. We also got our female 6 month old kitten neutered there just 2 weeks ago - it went very well. Her incision is very small & neat. She's healed perfectly. I know every time we go to Metro Vets, our pets will receive the best care possible. Thank you very much, From one very grateful Cat owner!
Fantastic experience: Brilliant vets ! Neil is first class hes very honest and will only ever do what is necessary for the animals welfare.He is funny and not too bad on the eyes always a bonus lol he has a great friendly team who do anything they can to help Woukd highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Just used this vets for the first time and after a bad experience at Moorview vets and wow what a difference. Neil was amazing and put both Bailey and myself at ease, spent time playing with Bailey and getting to know him rather then been rushed out the door . Thank you
Fantastic experience: These people really care for your pets I have total confidence in them
Fantastic experience: Neil was great with our new pup. Very friendly and made us really confident she's going to be in the best hands moving forwards!
Fantastic experience: Excellent place! Wouldn’t take my pets anywhere else.
Fantastic experience: Was looking after a neighbours pet whilst they were on holiday when cat became very ill. The vets were very quick to provide an appointment, care and onward referral. This was reassuring. Also the vet was incredibly kind, informative, and communicated well.
Fantastic experience: Excellent vet. Completely trust Neil with our dogs. I travel an hour to his practice - worth it.
Fantastic experience: Very good indeed
Fantastic experience: Don't normally review, but i just have to tell everyone how great this vets is. Neil the vet has helped us so much with our boxer, he has a few issues going on which really effected my own mental health. Thanks to Neil, he took over and got my dog back on track. he is to the point, tells you what is needed and cares for the pets. Naturally this reduced my own worries and now i am enjoying owning a happy healthy crazy boxer! Cheers metrovets!!
Fantastic experience: Find reception staff very friendly, in the past 2 year's we have phoned for reassurance about some concerns we had with our dog (Meghan), Neil has always called us back with valuable information and assurance and called us in only if required.
Fantastic experience: Great service as always from Neil. Thanks.
Fantastic experience: There's only one Metrovets !! Sadly as the reputation of this pet frendly business develops you may have to be on a waiting list to join.
Fantastic experience: Clean, helpful staff, explained well what I was confused about
Negative experience: As I hadn't been for some time they wouldn't see my cat, even though she was in pain Luckily I found an excellent, caring vet elsewhere
Fantastic experience: We have been coming here for years. It is reassuring to see the same vet each time. Staff is friendly and very helpful.

Fantastic experience: Neil is an amazing vet
Fantastic experience: Best vet. Neil is amazing.
Positive experience: Fantastic staff, very informative
Fantastic experience: Our Pip (JRT) is very wary of people touching her paws, ears and stomach, but for Neil she quite happily will lay on her back and let him examine away. You can trust a pets judgement of people, and she trusts them completely!
Fantastic experience: This is an amazing veterinary clinic, where my cats come first and my ideas second. The staff are caring and with a good sense of humour! I have two very lucky cats!
Fantastic experience: Neil and the team are ust superb with our 2 dogs. Highly recommended from a 10year+ customer
Fantastic experience: The vet here was fantastic dealing with my cat during the end of its life. Very sympathetic with friendly staff. They also have very reasonable prices compared to a few other local vets. Good job. Edit (2022) - Still a great place!
Fantastic experience: Only needs one word EXCELLENTTTTTTTTT
Negative experience: I thought Neil was great but my god make sure you don't cancel there OPTIONAL monthly health plan or else Neil will de register your pet without telling you and personally refuse to see your Dog in an emergency even when the receptionist explained the situation and then come out with the line "Go find another Vet as he isn't registered anymore" this was an emergency after over 10 years this is how my Dog was treated, disgraceful luckily Vets4Pets are giving my DOG the treatment he needs! I gave 1 star as it wouldn't let me give 0 stars!
Fantastic experience: Great vets and very friendly they were lively with my poorly dog who is terrified of vets.

Fantastic experience: First time owner of a Frenchie. Neil made me feel so much more at ease and gave me lots of reassurance. Fab vet and straight to the point!
Negative experience: Absolutely useless staff! Neil is a good vet but dealing with admin team to get an appointment or get anything sorted out is an absolute joke! Not worth the hassle no matter how good of a vet he is!
Fantastic experience: Best vets around Neil and all the staff are fantastic. Our Roli and DJ have no problem going
Fantastic experience: Great vets for small animals and have cared for my daughters guniea pigs really well, vet is excellent with keeping you updated on procedures and they give good aftercare too, nice to know as some vets won't look at rodents etc and in the past other vets have poorly prescribed medicines that were ineffective to treat a polyp that needed removing. Caring and friendly team all round and they've certainly kept my daughters guniea pigs safe and healthy as they get older.
Fantastic experience: Receptionists are great, a lovely group of young ladies, nothing is too much trouble and they are so friendly, couldn't ask for more.
Negative experience: Third time been Metrovets, unfortunately it is the last time also. Was told to change to other vet after return the medicine which is over charged. My dog is diagnosed with Hip Dysplasia today, then was shocking when paying for the recommended medicine with a month supplement: pain killer and joint support product. I google the same products after paid and left. Soon realized was charged with a shocking price: 3 times more for the pain killer and 2 times more for the joint support product. If I buy online, I can save £57 for the same products, same brands. Despite I went back for refund, however it never cross my mind to change to other vet because the support from Neil is good. Later evening I got a text from Metrovets who suggests me to look for other vet because of I return the medicine. I choose Metrovets after reading so many comments from other places. But now very disappointed.
Fantastic experience: Amazing team. Always there to help if any concerns about my two cats. Very helpful. The only vets clinic which actually agreed to accept my new kitten as a patient during lockdown.
Fantastic experience: Always helpful and friendly staff. Collected medication for my dog, procedures in place to minimise contact and limit entry etc. Very efficient and safe environment!
Fantastic experience: I've been taking my dog to Metrovets for around five years and I wouldn't take her anywhere else. Great service, friendly staff and a vet who always takes time to explain and support.
Fantastic experience: Neil and all the staff are very friendly and excellent service. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Would not take my dog anywhere than metrovets diagnosed problem in seconds.
Fantastic experience: Neil and his staff are 100% committed to your pet's wellbeing.

Fantastic experience: Magic great vets, very caring and good value
Fantastic experience: Fantastic quick service.
Fantastic experience: Really good service, girls very nice. Nice friendly vet.
Fantastic experience: We have been taking our pets to Neil and the team at Metro Vets for over 15 years. They are always spot on with the treatment they offer and very easy to talk to. They saved our Border Collie from Parvo.
Fantastic experience: Neil is the best vet in the world! After being messed about and ripped off by other vet chains, I asked around for recommendations and pretty much everyone I know locally pointed me in the direction of Metrovets. Neil is totally honest and genuine and really takes the time to get to know your pet, giving a first rate, personal service you rarely find. Can not sing his praises highly enough!!
Fantastic experience: Always great friendly caring service
Fantastic experience: Neil is a fantastic vet always listens, it's like you have known him for ever.
