We have a team of four friendly vets, all of whom have a wealth of experience. Our vets are required to undertake further study each year to continually improve and update their skills. Rebecka qualified from Cambridge University, where she had studied as a mature student, in 2004.
She has worked in a number of different practices in Derbyshire and spent five years working at the PDSA hospital in Nottingham, which provided her with a wealth of experience with difficult cases.It was whilst working for the PDSA that she met Claire who shares her ethos for wanting to provide top quality veterinary care in a personal and friendly manner sparking a desire for the pair to set up their own practice.

Join today and save between 20-30% on essential health services for your pet. Including worming and flea treatments, vaccinations and annual health checks, these plans spread the cost of your routine care. You get peace of mind knowing you are proactively monitoring your pet's health, whilst getting the best value in pet care.
Just as keyhole surgery has advantages in humans, the same opportunity now exists for our pets. Keyhole surgery is minimally invasive surgery involving passing a camera and specialised instruments through tiny incisions in the body wall. Due to the positioning of the instruments, a large clip area is required on both sides of the abdomen to ensure the area is aseptic.
We strongly recommend that you consider pet insurance for your pet, the cost of veterinary care can be more than most pet owners realise especially when specialist techniques or equipment are necessary and, with no NHS for pets, pet insurance is the best way to help you cover the treatment costs. Due to insurance regulation we are not allowed to recommend who you choose as your Pet Insurance provider.

I have used this veterinary practice for some years. The vet and staff are amazing. Today I used them for an Emergency and was crying like a loony. My beautiful cat had, had a seizure but at first looked like a possible stroke. He is my baby and 14yrs old 💔 and thought the outcome was going to be devastating. The team there are so friendly , supportive, compassionate and caring and didnt bat an eye lid I was sobbing. Charlie cat is now home resting and recovering. Thankyou 💕

This is the first time I have met our vets despite having had wonderful care for our cat over the last few years. Today was Luca the dog's turn and Louise was just wonderful with him (and me!). She explained things really well, gave me choices and I feel really happy with the care and treatment plan she suggested.
We moved here 2 years ago and leaving our last vet was a real wrench - I feel so grateful I've found a new surgery that's just as good.

We did a 140 mile trip to see Ellie Whitehead for my guinea pig Snowy and she provided an outstanding level of service and care. She was so lovely and caring and I can confirm she is the best out there and I trust her with everything guinea related! We are so grateful for everyone at Derwent Valley Vets and thank you all for providing us with the best possible service. Worth every penny spent.

This is a great vets. We recently moved from Scarsdale as customer service there was abominable.
Derwent Valley are professional, efficient, and most importantly they care about the animals that they treat.
I am hugely impressed and 100% delighted with the change. I recommend them without reservation.
