Services
Our veterinary practice was initially established in 1953 on Oldham Road, Ashton-under-Lyne by James Gourley who was then in partnership with another veterinary surgeon. James then progressed to create his own custom built surgery on Wellington Road in 1974. In 1990 James retired from veterinary practice and his son Michael, who qualified as a veterinary surgeon in 1977, took over as principal of the family business.
Here at Gourley Veterinary Surgeons, we're very proud to have so many enthusiastic and dedicated individuals working in our friendly practice. We are all passionate about animals and their well-being, from our veterinary surgeons and qualified nurses to our essential support staff. Highly trained and caring, each of us has a role to play in making this a special practice for you to visit with your pet.
Our team of highly dedicated and experienced veterinary surgeons and vet nurses are devoted to your pet's wellbeing. Your pets are always our priority. We all have our own pets and work hard to provide the same service to you that we would want for our own much-loved animals. At our surgeries we provide continuity of care, working with you to provide effective and high quality treatment.
Many of our patients are receiving long term treatment and are eligible for 'repeat prescriptions'. Usually, we see these patients every six months, although for some conditions and often at the start of a new treatment, this may be more frequently. If your pet is due more of their usual medication, please contact us no less than 48-hours before you would like to collect this.
In the event of an emergency during our normal opening hours please call your normal surgery and you will be advised what to do next. If you require veterinary attention or advice during the night or at the weekend whilst our clinic is closed, please contact MiNightVet Manchester on 0161 794 4999. MiNightVet Manchester is our preferred emergency services partner.

A wonderful veterinary practice. The vet Luisa and receptionist Cassie in the Stalybridge branch are credit to the veterinary practice. Always had my animals taken care of and they have built up bonds with my pets. Never had any issues with them and they look after you as well as your animals. Very friendly

Gourleys have treated my dog Nipper for five years, and he has had the best of care throughout. The staff at the branches we visit are always friendly, reassuring and knowledgeable - Cassie and Luisa at Stalybridge see Nipper particularly often and they look after my beloved pup wonderfully.
I would recommend Gourleys without hesitation to anyone looking for a vet practice.
