West Mount Vets - Huddersfield

West Mount Vets - Huddersfield is a small-animal practice that offers routine care alongside in-house diagnostics and surgery (including dental work). The practice site lists on-site dental facilities, an in-house lab, ultrasound, X‑rays and surgical theatres, suggesting it’s set up to manage workups and procedures without always referring out.

From the latest reviews available, owners describe clear explanations and shared decision-making around procedures (one review mentions a collie having teeth removed, with “full choice and freedom to choose”). One review raises a billing/communication concern about being charged £30 for wipes and confusion over what was included via the “Healthy Pet Club”.
