  The veterinary surgeons at Evolution Animal Care Veterinary Centre (CVS Vets) at Doncaster have been outstanding in the treatment of our border collie, over a number of years. As a team they are truly professional. We have found them approachable, caring and willing to offer advice when difficult decisions have to be made. In this respect, we welcomed their support when we recently had to have our dog, Tom, euthanised, after being diagnosed with an irreversible condition. Our thanks go to all concerned, starting with Kathy, the receptionist, who listened to our concerns and promptly organised a call back from the vet. To Jordan and her veterinary nurse who responded on the same day with a home visit. Their compassionate and reassuring approach made a difficult situation more manageable. Thankyou so much for the kindness, care and quick response shown during what was a challenging time.

Look at email images And see how they gossip! Communication was poor, there appeared to be a general lack of warmth from some staf.

  Amazing staff. Very understandable and empathetic when I was worried about my pet. They checked him over gave me options on ways of treating with the best possible affect also they didn't try to sell me the most expensive treatment option they actually tried getting treatment cost down in anyway they could. Absolutely amazing, they treat your animals as their own with love and kindness. Will never go anywhere else and this practise has my 100% trust. I have a total of 3 dogs, 1 cat, 6 guinea pigs and all use this service without a shadow of a doubt.

This kind of oversight could cause major issues for clients with limited transport or mobility, and it’s disappointing that such a basic safety process isn’t in place at a long-established practice. I was also deeply concerned with the way my initial complaint was handled. Although it was made privately, it received a public response from Philip which I felt was unprofessional. When escalated, I was surprised to be referred to by my job title—an unnecessary and irrelevant detail that added to my dissatisfaction. Eventually, the director Tina became involved as a final point of contact. While I appreciated her intervention, the tone of our interactions felt more business-oriented than focused on genuine client care—something I’ve now come to expect within the CVS UK Ltd group. Despite acknowledging the failings, they have refused to issue any form of refund and still intend to charge the full amount. As a result, I am now disputing the transaction via my credit card provider. Should any monies be recovered, I will be donating the full amount to a local cat charity (one unaffiliated with CVS UK Ltd). The practice promotes itself as having Silver Cat Friendly status, yet my experience didn’t reflect this. While a curtain and a towel sprayed with calming pheromones may tick a box on paper, it did not demonstrate any meaningful cat-centred care in practice. I have submitted evidence and concerns to the accreditation body behind this recognition, who are now investigating the matter. I have since moved my cat’s care to a practice in Dunscroft, and the difference has been remarkable. During our first visit, the vet spent nearly 20 minutes reviewing Dottie’s health records with us at no extra cost. This put us at ease, particularly around a heart murmur that had previously been presented as serious by Evolution, but was now described as so mild it would barely register a score of one. Following my explicit request for Dottie’s records to be closed and for all communication to cease, I was disappointed to receive an unsolicited email from the practice regarding her vaccinations and an invitation to book her in. This communication was not only distressing but may also constitute a breach of the UK General Data Protection Regulation , individuals have the right to request the deletion of their personal data and to object to its further processing, including direct communication. Continuing to contact me after a clear instruction to cease all correspondence is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about the practice’s compliance with data protection legislation. We had also been told by Evolution that Dottie would be having up to 7 teeth extracted—understandably causing us significant distress—only to find that no teeth were removed at all, and she simply needed a routine clean. This level of miscommunication added unnecessary stress to an already emotional process.
