Highfield Veterinary Centre
Sheffield
Our Score (88/100)
Highfield Veterinary Centre offers routine and preventative care alongside on-site diagnostics (including imaging and blood testing), and it treats a wide range of pets beyond cats and dogs (rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets and hamsters are listed on the clinic’s site). Reviews repeatedly mention clear explanations, being given treatment options without pressure, and practical follow-through—such as re-checking a kitten “under warranty” after a spay when she became unwell over a weekend and helping an owner with insurance paperwork.

Hallam Veterinary Centre
Sheffield
Our Score (88/100)
Hallam Veterinary Centre describes itself as a long‑established small‑animal practice accredited by the RCVS, offering routine care (vaccinations, parasite advice, neutering) and cardiology referrals. Recent reviews include examples of vets giving detailed phone explanations and prognosis discussions during end‑of‑life care, and an emergency case where staff stayed after closing to continue treatment so a cat didn’t need to stay in kennels overnight. One detailed negative review alleges a rigid policy of not prescribing antibiotics for wounds unless infection is demonstrated, and describes an initial consultation where a bite wound wasn’t cleaned or properly examined (followed by improvement after a later visit with a different vet).
