Stow Veterinary Surgeons

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.
