Dog & Cat Vets in Oxfordshire

Tremain Veterinary Group is a small-animal practice established in the early 1970s, with in-house diagnostic facilities (including an in-house lab, X‑ray and ultrasound) and stated accreditations of RCVS Core Standards and Cat Friendly Clinic (Silver). It offers routine care (vaccinations, parasite control, microchipping, neutering and nurse clinics) as well as dentistry and surgery, and also lists referral services in orthopaedics, soft tissue surgery, cardiology and internal medicine. Out-of-hours care is stated to be provided via Medivet Woodstock.

Abivale Veterinary Group is a veterinary practice that states it offers 24‑hour emergency care and is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Reviews describe the clinic handling routine and surgical care for cats, including a spay where unusual anatomy was found, followed by the team arranging a second surgery and processing an insurance claim directly so the owner “didn’t have to worry.” Owners also mention a Pet Health plan used to spread the cost of annual vaccinations plus flea and worm treatments. Feedback is mostly positive about the vets themselves, but a small number of reviews describe problems with front‑desk/phone manner and not actioning a request to stop promotional emails.

What it appears set up for, based on the website and recent reviews

• •Routine care plus more complex cases: the website lists areas including orthopaedics, internal medicine, dermatology, ophthalmology and endoscopy. - Appointments when something can’t wait: reviewers describe being seen same day and being taken straight away for urgent issues. - Nervous pets and anxious owners: multiple reviews mention staff taking time to explain problems clearly and helping owners feel at ease (including behaviour-focused support for a dog with behavioural problems).

• •End-of-life support stands out: owners describe their dog’s final visit as “dignified and respectful,” and say staff (vets, nurses, reception) helped make a difficult situation more manageable. - Efficient minor-procedure care: one detailed review highlights photo review via WhatsApp, a same‑day appointment, and stitch removal completed “within minutes.”
• •Front-desk experience is mixed: one reviewer reports feeling spoken to harshly and “punished” when trying to rebook after cancelling multiple cat booster appointments; other reviews describe reception as very helpful.

Oxford Cat Clinic Marston presents as a cats-only practice (owners describe it as a “feline specialist” clinic), which some reviewers say makes visits and admissions less stressful for timid cats because there are no dogs in the environment. In recent reviews, owners mention thorough, unhurried consultations (including time spent on history-taking) and the ability to arrange diagnostics quickly—one cat was admitted the same day for a scan and a “batch of blood tests.” There are also accounts of inpatient care with regular updates: one owner credits the clinic’s protocol and overnight hospitalisation support with helping their cat recover from acute kidney failure after they sought a second opinion.

Tremain Veterinary Group is a small-animal practice established in the early 1970s. The website describes in-house diagnostics (lab work, ultrasound and X‑ray) plus a wide set of routine services (vaccinations, parasite control, neutering, microchipping) alongside referral services in areas such as orthopaedics, cardiology, internal medicine and soft-tissue surgery. Reviews are mixed: several owners mention good communication about costs and gentle handling (for example during nail clipping), while others report serious issues around access to appointments, follow-up not happening after a promised call, and feeling the practice prioritised money over care.

Beehive Veterinary Surgery describes itself as an independent, RCVS-accredited veterinary hospital with a team of 50+ staff. The practice highlights having its own 24/7 emergency service, run by their in-house team at their hospital site (rather than outsourcing). From the facilities listed, it appears set up for cases that may need on-site diagnostics (laboratory and imaging) and medical, nursing, and surgical care—including a specific mention of keyhole surgery on the website.

Stow Veterinary Surgeons describes itself as a small-animal practice established in the 1820s (no corporate group ownership is stated). It appears set up for both routine care and more involved procedures: it lists surgery including keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery, offers diagnostic imaging (X‑ray and ultrasound) and has an in-house lab for tests. For urgent situations, the practice states it has a dedicated team on call 24 hours a day and provides free telephone advice for urgent care needs.
