Despite these issues, a small number of reviewers praise the vets for their care and compassion, particularly highlighting individual staff members who have made a positive impact. However, the overall sentiment is marred by reports of serious mistakes and a corporate atmosphere that prioritizes profit over animal welfare. With 82% of reviews rating the service poorly, the sentiment is predominantly negative.

All about money, they came out to my horse and had zero compassion when they pts which I’ll not go into, previous had a £500 vets bill when they came to an abscess which they said was coming out through the coronet band and they couldn’t do much. She looked at it told me to call my farrier and asked me to poultice, she did nothing. Farrier came abscess in toe, I did call them to let them know they were wrong still charged £500
This is not a vets , this is business that only cares about making money these days. I recently moved my pets to another vets as the care was appalling , I got charged £330 for 2 blood tests , and it turned out they didn’t even take enough blood to do the second test, they said it would take 2 weeks for results but after not hearing from them I rang to be told they only did 1 blood test and I needed to return my very poorly cat for more blood, by then it was too late and my cat had to be put to sleep , they didn’t even offer to refund me for the blood test they didn’t do!!
I will never ever trust any of my pets with Rase vets (Dunscroft) again , and I would urge anyone who cares about theirs to find an alternative vet asap.
Used this practise for close to 40 years.
Used to be caring and supportive- now you never see the same person - no personal service in fact hardly any service .
Wouldn’t ever use them again.
Only gave 1star as no option for zero

Contacted this vet today regarding a family members dog who I believe is quite poorly. I have LPA for the family member who in my opinion is in need of help and I wanted to discuss the dogs needs but obviously they do not have a duty of care as they were unwilling to discuss the situation.
£50 a month Vip and get refused flea treatment every single month
Pay for vip my bill is 50 pounds roughly every single month an constantly been refused flea treatment when we have paid monthly it's all just a scam they don't notify you when injections are due so you have to pay the full amount again you get a text to say flea treatment is due and you ring to order it an they refuse iv cancelled all payments an I am changing vets this is beyond a joke now month after month they are taking 50 pounds for absolutely nothing no services is provided it's plain an simple a scam !!! AVOID PEOPLE
What a rubbish vet wooden advise anyone to use that vet they want to be ashamed of their self calling themselves a vet I wouldn’t use this fact none of the vets have got a clue about animals at all
New vets , best vets the staff was so lovely, even shared there quality streets with us. Half price to other vets in town, shame on them. Certainly be using these ppl again
We are registered with Aldervale Vets at Sutton on Sea. We have no problem with them at all. Polite and helpful and caring. But the problem arose because our dog Pear was scanned at Aldervale and a closed pyometra was diagnosed. We had suspected this. A closed pyometra is an emergency and a life threatening condition which can result in death with 24 to 48 hrs. Aldervale transferred our dig to Rase Vets at Market Rasen for emergency surgery. Our dog is still at Rase Vets as I write this and has been there since early Saturday evening on the 10th August!!
Communication with Rase does not exist. From our dog arriving there we telephoned 12 times throughout the night trying to find out what was happened. Each time we were told someone would get back to us but we never received a call. We were told about 10.30pm on Saturday by the receptionist that they were busy and it would probably be around 3am before she was dealt with. Remember she was admitted for emergency surgery.
We heard nothing further. No call after 3am so around 6am we rang and this time spoke to a vet who said she had still not had surgery and that the day staff would deal with her after 9am. She had been on fluids to try to make her kidney and liver functions better. NB both these functions are compromised by the very presence of pyometra which is why immediate surgery is required!!
Needless to say no-one contacted us after 9am so we rang yet again. This time we were told they were taking her off fluids at 2pm and would do a quick blood test to check kidney and liver levels.
Guess what!!! We left it until 3pm before we rang yet again. This time we were told they were going to operate now (3pm). They would ring.
Yes, you're right, no call.
So we rang. We asked why she had been left for 20 hours (TWENTY HOURS) without the emergency op. We did not receive an acceptable answer.
They said the operation was a little more complicated as they had problems getting the sutures to hold because the uterus was thin, I challenged them and said if they had carried out the EMERGENCY surgery immediately twenty hours before the uterus might not have deteriorated!
They would scan her first thing in the morning (Monday 14th) to make sure no internal bleeding overnight.
No call as usual , so we rang but no call back.
10.30am Monday we rang and the receptionist said she was just having the scan. Finally we received a call saying all OK. No internal bleeding and ready for discharge.
We are no waiting (again) to hear when their driver will be taking her back to our vets, Aldervale, in Sutton on sea.
We have never in all the years of having Dachshunds been so distressed by the actions of a vet but Rase vets at Market Rasen need to be investigated on many levels.
We intend to take the matter further once we have our dog safely back with us.
Rase vets in Scunthorpe. They have absolutely no compassion at all, or care for a grieving pet owner. Just Money. I had to have my beloved dog put to sleep in 2019. I was totally distrort. They showed zero thought for how I felt. I was told it was run as a business. The cost was £229, how can you justify that ? It usually takes about 5 minutes. I feel that vets should NOT charge for euthanasia. If it's straightforward. No major health issues in general. My dog had signs of early dementia. And there was no other way. He would have progressively got worse. I was left traumatised and in despair.
I would never advise Rase Vets to anyone.
Rase Vets has been appalling in their service.
They misdiagnosed my dog with arthritis, so started giving him Librela shots, as he did not have arthritis this had a really bad impact on him and he was losing complete control of his back end to the point we thought we’d have to help him walk with a sling. I tried to raise my concerns with them and they completely brushed me off and told me it was my fault as I needed to bring him in more frequently for shots. Well I’ve stopped taking him for them and his back end is back to normal.
Previously we’ve also had to make the vet check that they are giving him the right dose as a number of times they’ve had the dosage set for our other bigger dog rather than the smaller dog that needed the Librela.
Before this my dog went in for an X-ray so they could diagnose him. They kept him all day, only for them to ring just before they closed to say the vet wasn’t due to come in today and could we come pick him up before they closed. Picked him up and his neck and chest was shaved and there were lots of students at the vets. My dog is the friendliest dog you will ever meet, it’s known he’s an angel at the vets so we think he spent the day being used for practice.
They keep losing my information and getting it wrong. Such as the name of my animals, my postcode, my email, etc. Their customer service is absolutely appalling when it comes to ringing us back when they say and providing there services in the promised time.
My horse needed a blood test recently, they said we would get it back in 3 days. It’s been 14 and when we complained and tried to get a refund for the lack of results they tried to make us think they’d already sent it and it was our fault we hadn’t received it. I have been ringing the vets every day for these results, every day I was told the vet would ring the labs for the results and would ring us back later that day only to never receive a call back. Ironically, they’ve finally sent me the blood tests and it says the results were finished 10 days ago.
That’s not even taking into consideration the fact that the vet that came out to take my horses blood was obviously not an equine vet. She kept trying to take my horses blood, with her phone still in hand when my horse was obviously nervous. For some reason she was unable to take my horses blood whilst she was busy looking at her phone so they, thankfully, sent a more competent vet. However before she left she was accidentally texting me instead of a fellow vet about how wild and dangerous my horse was and that I needed a trainer. She also dropped a very long needle in the grass, which we gave to the next vet that came who was appalled.
As you can imagine we are moving all of our animals to a different vet. I do not recommend Rase Vets at all, even if they’re the closest vet to you, trust me the extra travel will be worth it.
Paid 4.5k for operation on pups foot was quoted 2.5k for amputation but told she would walk normally again , yet still have 3 legged dog and had to chase up 4 times to get referral sent through to healing waters - all straight out of uni with little experience - took bandage of back foot after only 2 weeks !! No wonder pins bent - then said don’t usually bandage internal operations !! I asked if she’d be happy having ankle operation and not having a pot on it after only 2 weeks !!! Big difference in price also ??? Son is now paying it back over 4 years for a dog that still only uses 3 legs - how do you appeal or get 2nd opinion ??
Had my dog for an entire day for teeth cleaning sat in a cage with a canula in his paw and never did the procedure, I had take him off them for his own welfare. I've now removed all three of my dogs from the vets and cancelled the direct debit for the so called vip scheme.
My dog Frankie had 5 seizures starting at 7pm Tuesday night 22nd May I phoned my vets up & got though to Swandland Hull and spoke to a vet who was not at all helpful so I phoned Rasy vets who told me to bring Frankie straight over, sadly Frankie had another seizure in the car & 2 more at Rasy vets,the vet said Frankies heart was beating fast & his temperature was high & with Frankies age been 13 it would be kinder to put him to sleep. I could not bare to see Frankie suffering so I agreed.I sat with Frankie talking & stroking him it was really peaceful.She made me a paw print on a card which i really appreciated. I paid for him to be cremated separately & his ashes returned in a casket. I went to pick up his ashes today 29th May in the bag with the casket was a condolences card from Rase vets,a card certificate of Frankies cremation and a small packet of flower seeds to plant to remember Frankie. If it wasn't for Rase vets Frankies suffering would of been greater. When I went to pick Frankies ashes up the 2 receptionist both said there condolences for Frankie & one of them got up and brought the bag round the counter to me & said her condolences again. Thank you to all at Rasy vets.
Avoid, truly awful, a few visits, a diagnosis, a prescription, a cannula left in on the way home, a two day stay and Doglet came out worse after a near death experience, guesswork reducing prescription dosage. Also no continuity with vets and no senior vets or managers around etc. Very expensive with huge estimate costs which they manage to spend 100%. No itemised bill when they’re spent up. Nothing good at all for your furry ones .. I also think the care was incompetent
Boston vets We’re do I began please avoid I took my puppy here for it’s injection .they gave him his first said he had bloat gave 2 lots medication I was on pet plan but still paid. took for second injection they never called said they never had any in it was supposed to be done a week earlier so I had ask the vet question did not answer was to busy on her phone.

A simple visit to the vet for anal gland clearance. Vet took him out back. 5 minutes later the gland had fistulated. Never heard of that happening before. Several visits over the next 2 weeks were necessary to clear infection and have glands emptied Didnt see the same vet twice. Photographs taken at one visit were never available on other visits - so much for comparitive photos. We could not be sure the fistulation was malpractice or incompetence but what followed next with our cat convinced us to change vets.QUICKLY
Took my best friend Mylo to be put out of pain,He had cancer ,admitted it was in lockdown but they knew we were coming,When we arrived Mylo was taken at the main door and we were told we couldn't hav our final time with him or hold him as he went to sleep,WE WILL REMEMBER THIS ALLWAYS,sorry my friend my boy II remember your face at the door as you looked and wanted us there,so sorryxx. Would not recommend using the practice or petplan worst memory's ever and tricked by the Insurance
Not sure how competent these vets are. Missing half of the service. Receptionists have a poor blah blah attitude. They forget to mention my dog needs two more check ups after surgery. They forgot to charge me in the first place, then overcharged me so I had to be refunded. Avoid if possible.
Our dog was sent to Rase Veterinary centre by a local vet while we were on holiday due to vomit and Diarrhoea after trying to treat him without any improvement.
He was kept at Rase for X-rays which they said were un-inclusive and returned to us saying he was eating drinking no vomit or diarrhoea, during his first night home he was lethargic, still vomit and diarrhoea, had to take him back to local vets who told us he was very poorly and needed to be sent to a specialist hospital in Derby, we drove 2 hours they kept him and emergency surgery took place where they removed a blockage he made a good recovery and Derby hospital saved his life.
Rase are now trying to request a large amount of money for his treatment, we are now in dispute with this bill.
