Free pet check-up on offer at Knaresborough vets

Friday, 28 November 2025 08:45

Dr Philip Simon of Your Family Vets on Wetherby Road.

A popular Knaresborough vet practice is offering a free consultation for any new customer wanting to make sure their beloved cat or dog are in tip top condition.

Available from Monday (1st December) to Friday 5th December, the offer is available at Your Family Vets on Wetherby Road.

Having advocated a transparent pricing policy in line with recommendations from the Competition and Markets Authority, Dr Philip Simon, owner and veterinary surgeon, alongside his team, will be on hand to undertake a nose to tail examination, general check-up and to discuss any concerns owners may have about their pet.

All pet owners have to do is either visit the website or call direct to book their slot.

Dr Philip said:

“Having opened in November 2024, we’ve had a great response from local owners who have entrusted us to look after their pet.

"The idea behind this offer is so any new customer who might have concerns or just want to make sure their pet is in good health, can do so without worrying about the cost.

“We’ve been committed to doing things differently, providing individualised care with transparent pricing, written estimates and prescriptions. This ensures our clients can access the best value for their pet, without compromise.”
