Dixon and Young Veterinary Surgery – Vets in New Ollerton
Clinic Overview
Dixon and Young Veterinary Surgery is a veterinary nurse training facility. Based on owner reports, the practice handles a wide mix of routine and more involved care: same-day/short-notice appointments have been mentioned, as well as surgery (including spays and additional repairs done during the same visit), and end-of-life support.
Concrete examples owners describe include
- •Being seen straight away at short notice for a cat, with a quick examination and treatment.
- •A dog being spayed, with the team also repairing a hernia during the same surgical period (the owner said they hadn’t expected this and it avoided an extra operation).
- •Support for nervous/rescue pets, including a stitch removal done at the car to reduce stress.
Reviews are mostly very positive, but there is also a recent account describing a rude interaction and poor explanation around a new lump/mass and proposed surgery, which conflicts with other reviews praising clear explanations.

Really good vets aren't just after your money. Care for your animals and put them first. I have bulldogs hard to find a vet that understands them. I'd highly recommend this practice the best in the area.

Extremely disappointed with my experience. I took my miniature dachshund in for a health check and to have a new mass on her nipple examined. I wasn’t sure if it was a cyst or something more serious, so I wanted proper guidance. My mum brought her in for me as I was running late, and while she was trying to explain my dog’s medical history, the vet was rude, kept interrupting, and even made an unnecessary comment along the lines of, “Well, if you had cancer, I couldn’t tell just by looking at you.” Completely unprofessional. My dog was then taken inside while we were left waiting outside under a shelter. When she was brought back, we were simply told she needed surgery next week—no explanation, no discussion of what it could be, no pros or cons, nothing. We were expected to speak through a window instead of having a proper conversation. Overall, the whole experience left me with zero confidence. I’ve only been registered for a week and will definitely be moving my pets elsewhere.

The vet was very efficient. They were actually the cheapest bet for this procedure. We rang several vets. They dealt with the procedure we needed and an additional procedure. Actually they did give us a little reduced price because she was already going in for something so we had two procedures done at the same time thank you very much for the after-care and we’ll be looking forward to Rosie‘s next set of health checks. Many thanks.

This is by far the best vets in the business. My beautiful cat was put to sleep today after a short illness and I really need to vocalise just how amazing Jade was at comforting me, supporting me, advising me. She is one incredibly amazing young woman, patiently talking me through procedures and what happens next and persevering with me being a general snotty mess. Thank you Jade, for everything. And of course to Natasha the vet, you were also absolutely amazing and professional in every way. Thank you so much for all you did for my Ninja.

Thankyou so so much to all of the team at Dixon and young vets. We brought our dog blue in to be spayed last week and we can honestly say that all of you have been beyond fantastic with blue even though she was a bit nervous. When we brought her back to have her stitches out I explained to the lady on the reception that blue was nervous but that wasn’t a problem, a lovely lady came out and met us at the car and took her stitches out for us there. I would also like to say thank you for sorting out blues hernia for us too which we didn’t know you had done til her body suit came off today. You have saved us an extra trip to the vet to get this sorted and have saved the stress of another operation for blue to go through. Honestly we cannot Thankyou enough. Thanks again, Mr & Mr Burton-Halliday and a huge woof from blue :) :) xx

I have two rescue dogs, neither have been socialised (currently work in progress). Everyone at the vets supported my dogs needs and their personalities. Both dogs willing went, at ease, with the vet for their treatment. All credit to the experienced and compassionate, professional staff that work at Dixon and Young. Thank you! 15.08.22 Had to take one of our pet rats to have her teeth done and the vet did a thorough check and advised the rat also had a chest infection, antibiotics helped straight away. Thanks to Janice, our rat is now feeling much better, eating and putting weight back on. Thanks again to Janice and her team!!!
