I don't have a lot of experience of vets, we've been fortunate enough not to need them on a regular basis. One of our cats fell ill in May of last year though when we were in Peterborough and was diagnosed with a tumour in her lung. When we came up to Sheffield we had to find a new vets and PV came recommended on the forum and was near to us in Woodseats.

Today we had the unpleasant task of taking Ansi Fat-Cat to the vets to help her on her way. The tumour had grown to the extent that even purring was too much work for her. She couldn't walk 3 meters without struggling to breathe (roughly 3-4 times as fast as her sister Asci Thin-Cat - aka Kat Moss), and we had taken to carrying her to her dinner so she could eat. She looked distressed most of the time, and I guess she couldn't work out why her body wasn't working the way it used to be. Even tuna wasn't enough to encourage her to eat so we took the decision to ease her pain. Still not sure I did the right thing.

Anyway, PV I felt were very understanding and compassionate given they had a 100kgs of 40yr old bloke blubbering in front of them. We stayed with her to the end, stroked and talked and the nurse did the same - you don't feel so daft when you're with like minded people. It was all over in seconds, and Ans didn't seem distressed at all
.
Next to a close relatives death, this was one of the most painful experiences I've been through, and I don't think it could have been handled any better. I'm going to have a drink to Ansi Fat-Cat tonight because I feel awful. This is right up there with a recent family suicide and I never expected it to be so.

Peak Vets is one of the best vets around , 2 years ago I had to take my old dog Rusty to be helped on his way, he had cancer and belonged originaly to my adopted mother, I had promised her i wouldn't let him suffer ever, Which Steve at peak vets fully understood, they gave us time to talk about what was best, I feel this was handled so well by them and they were there for us to be just us, I was very upset and wasn't able to stop crying , I won't use another vet in sheffield . They also give us a good cover for the small animals we have boarding here, we have had several occassions to use them and all our customers have been impressed by the care their pet has been given.

We use peak vets our 14 ferrets are there and our to dogs. 100% great friendly reliable good wi animals cant say no more really

there the best

Hiya Pscylo, Bridget here, so sorry to hear of your loss, it really grips your heart doesn't it?? we ourselves have had several pet losses this year and it always hurts more than if it was a human bereavement, though sounds like you've had to cope with both. We've just started to go to Peak vets after reading many recommendations on here about them, and wouldn't consider anywhere else now, they are very very good.

Another thumbs up for Peak Vets for me too. I had a disagreement with my vet who our famly had used for over 35 years and changed to Peak. I had Phoebes cruciate operation done there and they were fantastic. I am impressed with the customer service, opening hours and also the fact they have there own on call vet and have not signed up to the dreaded vets now service.

Keep up the good work Peak.

again, peak vets is fantastic. my kitten loves steve, always gives him kisses and steve loves her! he is great and really cares about your animal. fantastic!

I want Lorna to take her ferrets there should she need and she agreed, we both dont like our vets at firth park

with some of the reptile monsters we take in, i dont think they would be too impressed though, you aught to see the wierd long necked soft shell turtle that came this week!

it looks half like a alien, and half like me 1st thing in the morning!

we advise all people that adopt ferrets from us use peak as ther really good and know about ferrets

Ah, mate sorry for your loss. My dog I had from being a kid, died years ago now and I still fill up a bit when I think about it :(

we advise all people that adopt ferrets from us use peak as ther really good and know about ferrets
We advise Peak Vets to all our customers, and we have hd very positive feedback from them, all have been treate well there and cannot fault their positive dedication to the animals welfare.

we are another PV customer and use them for the rescue dogs too. I always send people to them. annax

I travel from chesterfield to go to these vets after having some bad experience with some of the practises in Chesterfield. Anna gave me their details and they have been brilliant with my Lurcher and Greyhound (and hopefully will be with the ferrets I hope to get soon)
