  Absolutely fantastic, Ellie was really good with my guinea pig today. She was very knowledgeable and calm. Figured out what was going on really quickly and the price was really reasonable as well in comparison to previous vets I’ve been to. Will definitely be taking all my guinea pigs here in future. ❤️

  Really good genuinely independently owned vets, treated our boy Duggie in the final stages of his cancer and were just so kind. When he passed they sent us a lovely card which was totally unexpected but meant a great deal. Highly recommended

  I have been with this practice for a number of years. Now just gotten a new puppy and the whole team are amazing. The receptionist are friendly and welcoming but truly professional. The vets and nurse staff are caring and eager to put owners and pets at ease. Bonnie had her injections and a microchip fitted with no issue. Brought back a few days later with upset stomach and again the vets were amazing gave her some pro biotic and sorted her straight away. Best vets in the area. If you want the best care for your pets then bring them here.

  Can't speak highly enough of Derwent Valley Vets... We are really so blessed to have a guinea pig specialist (Dr. Ellie) practically on our doorstep, and she is amazing, both with my guinea pigs and with me as an owner! I have full confidence that my precious pets are in the best hands. The Receptionists are also brilliant: friendly, warm and professional, and seems to have a genuine interest in any animal that comes through the door!

  Always a good experience at Derwent Valley Vets. I found Ellie when researching for a Guinea Pig specialist, she is so knowledgeable and thorough with guineas. I wouldn’t take my Guinea pigs anywhere else. I’m not local so she is always happy to provide online or telephone consultations too. Thank you Ellie and the practice !
