    Old Stone Vets are lovely. Very kind and caring, have used them for years with no complaints whatsoever. Easy to get appointments pretty much as needed. Easy parking.

    A massive thankyou to all the staff from the Watson family. We were lucky enough to have Old Stone caring for our cocker Millie from a puppy up until we said a final goodbye on 13th March. The care, advice and support through the years has been amazing from all the staff including the chatty and friendly receptionists. A heartfelt thankyou to Vet Rachel. In the last few weeks before loosing Millie due to Lymphoma, Rachel gave us sensitive but 'sensible' advice which we really appreciated - and needed! We always felt Millie was in capable and loving hands during all visits. Forever grateful. Thankyou.

    We can’t thank the team at the Stanhope and Alston branches enough for everything they’ve done for our dog. He wasn’t even registered with them (we don’t live locally and are registered with a vet closer to home), but when we rang on Tuesday morning as he was being sick and having trouble going to the toilet, they found us an appointment within just over an hour. From the moment we arrived at the Stanhope branch, everyone acted quickly and professionally. Their knowledge and calm, reassuring manner immediately put us at ease, and we felt completely comfortable leaving our dog in their care. After assessing him, the Stanhope team arranged for us to go straight to the Alston branch for X-rays and ultrasounds. When we arrived, they were ready and waiting for us, and once again their approach was professional, reassuring, and kind. Throughout the day we received three update calls, which we greatly appreciated — it really showed how much they care. Our dog ended up needing surgery and is now doing well, thanks to the swift action of Rachel and Kathryn. I genuinely don’t think the outcome would have been the same without them. We are so thankful for everything they’ve done — we couldn’t have asked for better care.

    Saw our elderly dog three times, the last time was at home to send him over the bridge. Lovely, caring vets and the hand signed card they sent us after was a beautiful touch. Recommend. RIP Bob.
