Best Vets in Middlesbrough – Complete Local Guide

Kibbles Veterinary is presented on its website as aiming for “stress-free” visits with a focus on compassion and integrity, and it lists pet checks, urgent care and nutrition advice. The website also states it offers weekend emergency cover with an on-site vet for emergency appointments on Saturdays and Sundays. In recent reviews, owners repeatedly mention transparent, low-stress handling (for example using a snuffle mat with treats for an anxious dog) and clear explanations around procedures, including surgery.

Concrete examples owners describe include: quick Saturday appointments leading to referral and expedited specialist eye care; dental extractions where the final bill stayed the same even when more teeth needed removing than expected; and owners being shown where their pet would be during a hospital stay for surgery.

Ownership group isn’t stated in the available information. The practice’s website describes a broad medical and surgical focus (including cardiology, neurology and orthopaedics) and care for a wide range of species beyond cats and dogs (small mammals, reptiles and birds). Clinic data also lists it as a veterinary nurse training facility and as offering emergency veterinary services (exact out-of-hours arrangements aren’t described).

From the latest reviews, owners most often point to clear explanations that help them make decisions, calm handling of anxious pets (including reassurance from reception staff), and thoughtful aftercare gestures such as sending a handwritten sympathy card after a pet’s death.

Clevedale Veterinary Practice is a mixed practice offering small animal, farm, and equine care, and it’s also a veterinary nurse training facility. The website describes small animal work ranging from routine care to more complex procedures such as laparoscopic spays, alongside dedicated farm and equine teams. Recent reviews most often highlight thorough, unhurried examinations (including dental checks), a calm approach that helps nervous dogs settle, and practical support outside appointments (for example, giving advice over the phone and helping clients navigate pet export paperwork).

Ironstone Veterinary Clinic describes itself as an independent practice led by three veterinarians, with an emphasis on not recommending unnecessary tests or treatments and using modern diagnostic equipment (per its website). Recent reviews back up several practical, decision-relevant points: owners mention same-day appointments when needed, staying open late to treat a pet, and vets sending clients home with a clear plan of action after thorough explanations. Multiple reviewers also comment on the clinic being smart/modern and spotlessly clean, and several describe fair/reasonable pricing (without giving specific amounts).

White Cross Vets Coulby Newham is part of the White Cross Vets group (the website describes 21 practices). Based on the latest reviews, owners most often describe straightforward day-to-day care and ongoing management for longer-term issues, with practical communication around treatment and aftercare.

Concrete details mentioned by clients include

• •Quick appointments for a sick dog, with concerns listened to and aftercare explained clearly, plus a follow-up booked with transport needs taken into account.
• •Continuity for ongoing problems: one owner values being able to see the same vet when their dog has longer-term issues.
• •Wellness-plan style preventative care is referenced (health check, injections, worming, flea treatment and nail trim bundled around a plan).
• •Pricing is a point of dispute: one reviewer reports being charged over £150 for a cat vaccination described as monthly; other reviewers describe the practice as “good honest,” so experiences don’t fully align.
