Stow Veterinary Surgeons is a CVS-owned small-animal practice in Chipping Norton, with roots dating back to the 1820s. It offers routine care alongside a relatively broad in-house service including X-ray, ultrasound and dentistry, plus extras such as acupuncture and grooming. The practice website also states 24-hour emergency and out-of-hours support via a dedicated on-call team, although one reviewer reported difficulty finding the clinic open and the listed routine opening hours appear limited.
