The staff were friendly, caring and kind from first contact through the whole process of Ivy’s (my sprocker spaniel) operation. When the vet first came out to meet us he crouched down to my dog, fussed her and spoke to her in such a lovely “dog friendly” way. Ivy took to him straight away which has NEVER happened before with a vet. Whilst I appreciate vets are a medical practice, this is where I am taking “my baby” who certainly doesn’t care for serious vetinary chat. We both felt comforted, understood and most importantly safe at st Leonard’s vet practice in Derby. Ivy and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

We were seen by Melody and we were extremely satisfied. She was very caring, professional and honest with us. Our cat sadly has been diagnosed with lymphoma and there isn’t much that can be done at this stage. Thank you Melody for your honesty and sympathy. It is truly appreciated it, Click

Absolutely disgusting service. Rang up for 3 days straight with regards to a pregnant dog being poorly and struggling to give birth. To be told to wait 2 days and then today at 9am to be told the vet will call us back. Yet to receive a phone call. Call another vets and was told to rush to the vets as they realised how serious it was. Mother rushed to surgery and was told it was an emergency situation. If we waited for this phone call mother would have passed.

The staff were very helpful on the phone and via email. The prices for treatment and consultation are very reasonable compared to others locally. We felt the vet we saw was straightforward and gave good advice for treatment.

Avoid this place... If you care about your pets. My mum took her cat for a routine check and only wanted stuff for fleas They gave her cat a worming tablet within 90min she had to be put to sleep. Yet her health check up was fine, and was allowed to go home after worming and my mum buying the flea stuff... But my mum had to bring her back because of her breathing. It was negligence by the vet she did not tell my mum if there was any possible side effects.. The cat did not even need worming If my mum has not taken her cat to the vets she would still be alive now. I have read other people's reviews about medivet and all they want is profit they lie and fob you off to make money, also it's known that medivet tell there vets they must earn so much each month... The lady clearly was either put under pressure or did not have proper training for the job... And i am sure there will be more cases like this.

The only issue I had with the practice was that it was not explained to me that it would be me giving my dog his anti-worm and anti flea tablets. I assumed it would be a vet doing this as this medication is covered in the health plan. Other than that, a 5 star service.
