Chipping Norton Veterinary Hospital is an RCVS-accredited practice and a Gold Standard Recognised Cat Friendly Clinic and Rabbit Friendly Clinic. It treats a wide range of species beyond cats and dogs, including rabbits, reptiles, parrots and other birds, and even zoo animals (per the clinic website). Recent reviews strongly focus on exotic-pet capability and on-site workups: owners describe CT scanning for a rabbit, ultrasound scanning for a hamster (done conscious), and care for a chameleon. Several reviews also reference urgent or out-of-hours help (including a Sunday early-morning contact) and follow-up communication during longer inpatient treatment (phone calls every other day during a 10‑day stay for a hyperthyroid cat).

Hook Norton Veterinary Group is a proudly independent veterinary practice providing small animal, equine, and farm care, with a 24-hour emergency service run by their own vets. Recent reviews point to a clinic geared for both routine and complex cases: owners describe emergency surgery for an injured dog, hospitalisation with regular nurse updates, and advanced minimally invasive procedures—including laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery carried out by a vet described as specialising in endoscopy. Practical touches mentioned include clear explanations before surgery, prescriptions being prepared for collection, and reception staff handling enquiries calmly and efficiently.

Corporate
Treats:

Small-animal practice established in the 1820s, set up for routine care plus a fairly broad in-house offering (including X‑ray, ultrasound and dentistry) and some additional options like acupuncture and grooming/nail clipping. The website states 24‑hour emergency/out‑of‑hours support with a dedicated on‑call team, but this conflicts with a review mentioning finding the clinic “always closed” and with the limited opening times shown on the listing. Recent written reviews are brief; most describe the team as “very very helpful” and recommend them, with one repeated negative theme around access/being closed.
