Welcome to The Charlesworth Veterinary Surgery

The Charlesworth Veterinary Surgery was established in 1979. We are a companion animal practice. This allows us to focus on our chosen patients... your pets.

As a small practice we are usually able to provide continuity of care but still have sufficient variety in our vets that you will hopefully be able to find one to suit you. Our aim is to do what is right for you and your pet. It is important that you are able to make the best decisions with regard to the care of your pet so we take the time to explain your pets treatment options to you.

We are proud to provide our own, onsite, 24 hour emergency care.

The practice building is deceptively large and owners are often amazed when they go behind the scenes.We have a large waiting room, four consulting rooms, two modern theatres, plus a dedicated preparation and dental procedure room, an x-ray machine (powerful enough for the largest of dogs), an ultrasound machine, blood pressure measurement equipment and an extensive laboratory which allows us to provide same day results for the majority of our blood tests. There are three separate wards, which allows us to house cats away from dogs, and rabbits away from both, to reduce the stress levels of both the cats and rabbits. The dog ward has a large 'walk-in' kennel for housing giant breed dogs in addition to the usual range of kennels for other types. If you would like to view the 'back of house' let us know and it will be possible most afternoons to arrange a tour.

In addition to our private patients, we work extensively with a number of charities, particularly GAANS, SNAR, the CPL and the PDSA.

The practice is located in Clay Cross, a small ex-mining town easily reached from towns such as Chesterfield, Alfreton, Matlock and Bolsover though we have some clients who come from as far away as Derby, Sheffield and Mansfield. Please click on the link to the map if you need directions.
