Abingdon Vets4Pets Ltd – Vets in Abingdon
Clinic Overview
Abingdon Vets4Pets Ltd is a Vets4Pets-branded practice and a veterinary nurse training facility. The clinic describes itself as modern and well-equipped, with an in-house laboratory and pharmacy, plus digital x‑ray and ultrasound, alongside hospital and isolation facilities.
From the latest reviews available, owners most often describe clear communication around urgent or high-stress situations (including emergency surgery and euthanasia), and continuity of care (for example, the same vet handling a procedure and the post‑op check). There are also isolated but serious complaints about clinical decision-making during labour (refusal to give oxytocin leading to an emergency caesarean and loss of puppies) and a separate complaint about billing/data mix-ups involving letters and calls for an account the reviewer says wasn’t theirs.
Out-of-hours emergency care is stated on the website as being provided by another veterinary surgery.

- •Clear explanations and aftercare guidance: multiple reviews mention vets being “clear and direct” about what was happening and what to do next.
- •Continuity and responsiveness: one owner noted seeing the same vet for the procedure and post-op check, and quick responses when ordering flea/worming treatment.
- •End-of-life care with financial constraints acknowledged: one review describes euthanasia handled calmly, with the vet being understanding about costs.
- •Conflicting experiences: one reviewer reports being refused oxytocin during labour, followed by loss of puppies and a caesarean; another reports serious billing/data issues (calls and letters for an account they say wasn’t theirs, and feeling threatened).

My dog was spad and Dan carried out the procedure. He was so informative and it was lovely to see him for her post op check for continuity. I haven’t needed to use Vets4Peta often thankfully, however they are very responsive when I need to order her worming/flea treatment. Would highly recommend

The vet we saw when Rosie was very sick was very clear about her situation. The decision was was made that she was too old and sick to have any work done the vet was more then reassuring and understanding that we also had financial issues and put Rosie to sleep in a way that didn’t alarm an already alarmed animal and family. They cared for our beloved dog and not for the money unlike another vets in Abingdon who would rather leave an animal to suffer. Kudos to the vet in which I was in no condition to take her name. Thank you for caring for us and our Rosie in our time of need. Thanks so much Emma Smith (vet) for being so kind professional and supportive when we needed you the most.

Absolutely heart broken that they refused to give oxytocin when I brought my girl in and for her to lose all her pups ending with a c section just don't think they know anything about pitches in labour will never recommend this practice or the other 2 practices they run

If Carlsberg made vets… The whole team at Vets for Pets were fabulous. The help, support and guidance during our pets recent visit was magnificent. How they reacted to something that on the face of it was simple, but turned into an emergency was incredible. Ultimately this made the difference in us being able to bring our dog home. Special mention to the Vet, Dan, who’s knowledge, skill set and overall great character sets him out above other vets we have dealt with. His clear and direct advice made the after care simple. Thanks again for everything.

My pet isn’t even registered with this vet (we’re at the Oxford one), and yet they have been consistently calling and now sending letters telling me I owe them money for a cat that isn’t mine, despite me paying a direct debit. I’ve now cancelled and moved to a different vets as it’s clear that these people can’t be trusted with data, but they won’t listen when I say there’s been a mix up and are now threatening me, for not paying for someone else’s cat!

They are excellent at this Vets4Pets, and they genuinely care for your pets. We recently had to bring our cat to the vet due to him eating a silicon object that got stuck, and within the same day, they were able to put him in surgery and remove the blockage, which effectively saved his life. You seriously wouldn't get this level of service on the NHS or even private, so it's amazing you can for a pet. Thank you very much Vets4Pets ♥️

The vets here are so wonderful and have done so much for us. Our poor cat Barry was attacked and ended up having to have his eye removed as an emergency surgery. The vet Lucy talked us through everything beforehand and was honest with us about the costs and how Barry would be feeling and everything that would be done. She saved his life and now he's as happy ever. We can't thank Vets4Pets enough for what they've done. I will always recommend them, they're such a wonderful practice.
