Wye Valley Vets
Born in hereford but after travelling the world, Chris came home with a dream - a dream of a state of the art, Veterinary Clinic here in the beautiful county of Herefordshire. The practice is a purpose built medical facility that was modified as a veterinary clinic. Making a spacious, light and airy area to work in, that dogs find a pleasure to be in and with space to have separate cat areas that are DOG FREE!

We also have multiple car parking spaces available on the premises, within close proximity to the front door. We love our job because we love working with animals and people. Nurturing our team, our clients and our patients brings the emotional rewards that allows us to offer exemplary service. We treat your pets as we would treat our very own.
Services
Born and raised in Herefordshire, I am passionate about the county. As a lifelong pet owner (Hamsters, Gerbils, Rats, Mice, Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Terrapins, Tortoises, Cats and Dogs, and to my mother's horror an Axolotl) it was only natural that my education followed my passion. I spent many holidays working with Arwyn Davies at Hay Veterinary Clinic and many Saturdays in a practice in Birmingham.
Born in Watford, but grew up in different locations before my family decided to settle in Hereford. Although my surroundings were always changing, the one thing which stayed constant was my passion for animals and the motivation towards becoming a vet.

In the summer between A-levels and starting at the University of Bristol, I managed to volunteer both at a Chimpanzee Sanctuary in Sierra Leone and also with a conservation charity based in Mexico/Guatemala.Both my experiences were incredible and enforced my enthusiasm towards my veterinary degree.
My aspiration to work in the veterinary industry began since before I can remember. Treating animals was something I always tried to achieve whether it was rescuing a baby bird in the garden, or using my plastic stethoscope and bandages on stuffed toys. I have previously studied different courses in the animal industry which I can transfer into my job role.
I grew up in Hereford and have always been surrounded by animals. My family had multiple dogs, cats, rabbits and hamsters as we all share a love of animals. Currently i only have Pickle my young beautiful cat who was re-homed to me by a friend, but I am looking to rescue a dog in the near future. I would love to one day have a house with lots of land and rescue as many dogs as possible!
All of our consultations are made on a prior appointment basis, but emergencies are given priority. Consultations are around 15 minutes, but sometimes vets can run late when dealing with sensitive subjects so we do ask for your patience. We have separate consulting rooms and waiting rooms for cats and dogs to help minimise stress levels.

I was happy up until recently. Receptionist didn't know how to claim for insurance, called someone else and there was a look exchanged because she'd not been shown how to do it. I further phoned and a nurse assured me it would be done. I emailed in as writing in addition to phone calls is usually a good idea, but no reply.
One month on, an invoice arrived (no compliments slip) and nothing had been done in terms of making my claim via the portal, despite my asking. Then, I was told it was 'my responsibility' - yes, but if staff don't reply, how are you supposed to know what's going on? Two days

Sorted our idiot cat's leg. Perfect balance of professional and friendly service. Highly recommended for your four legged buddies...or two legged, six even.

We visited the practice today. We are on holiday in the area and one of our dogs needed to have stitches removed following a procedure he had done at our own vets.
A very friendly and accommodating practice. The young vet was so friendly and she dealt with our dog so well.
Highly recommend this practice.

I have two dogs and a cat so have used Wye Valley vets several times. I have always found them to be professional, kind and caring to my pets. We're always seen in a timely manner and their costs are very reasonable. I would recommend them to friends with pets.
