Rase Veterinary Centre – Vets in Dunscroft
Clinic Overview
Rase Veterinary Centre is part of a multi-surgery group (Rase and Aldervale Vets) and is listed as RCVS Tier 3 accredited. The website describes in-house 24/7 emergency out-of-hours cover across the group’s small-animal practices, plus cover for an external partner practice.
From the latest reviews available, owners most often describe
- •Routine care done gently for anxious pets, including a health check and booster vaccination where the vet “clearly explained” what was being done and spent time keeping a cat calm.
- •Surgical aftercare noted in a neutering case, with a kitten described as fully recovered and left with a “very tiny scar.”
- •Fast response in at least one emergency, including immediate treatment on arrival and an overnight drip for toxin ingestion.
- •A clear negative outlier: one owner reports being booked in for a suspected gastric torsion but then told the practice couldn’t treat it and to travel elsewhere, which they felt wasted critical time.

Rase were always wonderful with our dog, Belle. Whether she had inadvertently knocked a tooth uo into her sinus cavity, or just had tummy troubles. They were always patient, kind, and caring with our special brindle greyhound, right up until the end.

Have used Rase in the past for emergencies when my own vet wasn't available and always found the service and care great, but on my last visit in January, I phoned for an emergency appointment telling the receptionist that the dog In question dog was showing signs of a gastric torsion, they gave me an appointment, I went and was met with a young vet who basically flicked her stomach and said well yes it probably is but we can't do anything here so you'll have to go to scunthorpe Given that I made it clear over the phone this was likely torsion, why on earth any vet would suggest bringing the dog to them when they couldn't do anything for her instead of telling me to go straight to Scunthorpe. Torsion is a true emergency and time is critical and precious time was wasted travelling to a vet that basically told me to get back in the car and travel 40 minutes in the other direction! The only concern the vet seemed to have was trying to give me a quote to send me to Scunthorpe Rase. In the end I left and took my dog to a different vet. Will never use Rase again.

I took my cat Dottie to Rase Vets Dunsville today and I couldn’t be happier with the care she received. After a less-than-positive experience with our previous vet at Evolution in Thorne, this visit was a breath of fresh air. The practice itself is smaller and much calmer, which made a real difference to Dottie’s anxiety. It was clean, welcoming, and didn’t have that overwhelming smell of animals that can often stress pets out—something we struggled with before. The vet was absolutely lovely with Dottie—gently fussing her to help keep her calm, and giving her lots of attention throughout her health check and booster vaccination. Everything was clearly explained to us, and we felt reassured and informed throughout the visit. The reception team were also brilliant—friendly, helpful, and took the time to explain opening hours and what to do in case of an out-of-hours emergency. After our experience elsewhere, switching to Rase Vets Dunsville has been the best decision for Dottie’s care. I only wish I’d done it sooner. Thank you again to the whole team for your kindness and excellent service today! 27/05 Took my cat yesterday to them and again excellent service. Staff all friendly and professional. Best love I ever made moving my cat from Evolution in Thorne (poor practice) to this place. Thanks again

Emergency treatment given within minutes of arriving at the surgery. They managed to save one puppy put on a drip overnight but the other puppy was put to sleep. It seems they had ingested a toxin and the veterinarians prompt action definitely save a life. 100% recommended
