Robert Pontefract Veterinary Surgeon
All our vaccinations have a high degree of safety and have undergone rigorous testing by the vaccine company. In addition, Vaccination confers a good high level of immunity enabling your animal to fight off otherwise serious and life-threatening infection. Get in touch to discuss your vaccination needs.

We have a long standing Referral Service for Eye cases which includes BVA/ISDS Eye Testing. The business of anaesthetising and operating on your animal family member is always taken seriously, from both the anaesthetic safety and surgical risk points of view. We assess each patient in objective manner and not necessarily in subjective terms that might otherwise be applied.

All our vaccinations have a high degree of safety and have undergone rigorous testing by the vaccine company. In addition, Vaccination confers a good high level of immunity enabling your animal to fight off otherwise serious and life-threatening infection. You are welcome to discuss Vaccination with one of our Vets, enabling you to determine when to have your pet Immunised.
The business of anaesthetising and operating on your animal family member is always taken seriously, from both the anaesthetic safety and surgical risk points of view. We assess each patient in objective manner and not necessarily in subjective terms that might otherwise be applied. Then an appropriate anaesthetic regime is given and the patient is carefully monitored.
We operate on most types of case and condition, from the most common surgeries to more involved and exacting procedures. We have certain areas where we have longstanding prowess and experience. So neuterings, both for males and females (castrations and spayings) are common. Our attitude here is that although these are seen as routine, this does not mean that the operation is to be taken lightly.
This area is an important part of the practice with lots of animals being X-Rayed or Ultrasounded or both. We have a modern ZooVet X-Ray machine and a new Agfa Digital X-Ray processor allowing us to send Radiographs for Hip and Elbow Scoring on CD. Ultrasound is performed on most soft tissue structures, even Muscles and Tendons.

Have been with this surgery for approximately 2yrs now under Robert for my dog as her eye specialist,I cannot fault his work and the surgery and treatment he has performed on her eyes whatsoever and his kindness he shows to her and his professionalism,but when you receive an invoice through the post saying you need to pay an insurance administration fee that I WAS NEVER TOLD I HAD TO PAY, and had then to be told I had already PAID one without my knowledge and NEVER having paid any in the past according to my records is disgusting practice!!! THEN to be accused of shouting down the phone, when I

Gave 4 days notice for dogs tablets still not ready to collect when I rang 4 days later they got them ready and even after a phone call to let them know I was there to collect left in the car park for 45 minutes until a further call only to be told the person i spike to hadn't passed on the message and went for his lunch. This is not the first time I have had this experience very unprofessional and couldn't organise a pi** upin a brewery. Please avoid if you have a new pet.

Often run very late with little communication. Have had to call to chase blood test result after 10 days. Seem very short staffed with regular change in staff.

Just called to check if my golden retriever needed an emergency vet visit, spoke to Will who was very helpful and consulted with a vet to advise me. Very impressed with the professionalism and kindness shown - and I’m just visiting the area, not even one of their customers. 5 stars!

Late for appointments every time - usually around an hour. Poor communication skills on costs and billing. Almost nothing positive to say except that my dog hasn’t got sicker from attending the vets.

Have been a couple of times for dogs' eye testing - very efficient and they are good at fitting in around your needs (though you need to book in advance as the service is in much demand).

Fantastic with my standard poodle while she had her bva eye tests done. She can be a bit of a wimp but came out happy and excited.
