"Before she came she was really kind and understanding and answered all our questions. She was flexible to fit in with the timing we needed... I would recommend Melissa to anyone."

"I would have given 10 stars if it had been an option. What is often a very stressful experience for both the owners and pets was kept to a minimum... I know now that Melissa is my vet ♥️"
- Jane, Skipton
"Sadly called on Melissa to put one of our cats, little Bee, to sleep at fairly short notice and she made a stressful situation much less so, for Bee most importantly. Kind, professional, wouldn't hesitate to recommend Melissa for anyone whose furry babies aren't that keen on vet trips."
- Jenny, Settle
"Excellent service and made Tess feel at ease throughout. Would definitely recommend The Roaming Vet to friends and family."
- Tim, Skipton
"Melissa is the most wonderful vet for anyone's precious pets. She is so very kind, caring and considerate, and because the pets are within their normal environment of a safe and happy home they are so much more relaxed. We honestly cannot recommend her highly enough."
- Nancy, Skipton
"Melissa was fabulous. Our cats are bad travellers and so having her come to the house was brilliant. She was kind, thorough and professional. Would highly recommend."
- Clare, Grassington
"We knew it was time for our beloved whippet Mac to go to sleep so asked Melissa to come into our home. Melissa was so lovely and talked us through each step of the process. She respected our need to say goodbye and we will be forever grateful."
- Julie, Earby
"I can't thank Melissa enough for the compassionate and dignified end-of-life service she provided for my very elderly cat. My cat was asleep on my lap when Melissa arrived, and that's where she stayed as we said our goodbyes. It was the most gentle and loving farewell we could have hoped for."
- April, Skipton
"I used Melissa because Alfie gets very anxious at the vets, and with him having a heart murmur I wanted to make sure he was as relaxed as possible. Melissa was incredibly calm and caring towards Alfie, she took her time, let him get to know her gradually and even gave him some treats to put him at ease."
- Georgia, Skipton
