Medivet Faringdon Danetree Vets

Medivet Faringdon Danetree Vets is part of the Medivet group. The practice offers routine care (vaccinations, parasite control) alongside in-practice diagnostics (X‑rays, ultrasound, ECG and an in-house lab), and it treats cats, dogs, small mammals and exotics. Out-of-hours care is handled by Medivet 24 Hour Woodstock, with an out-of-hours consult fee listed on the website and “no charge for assessment by phone.” Review examples include getting seen at short notice, an emergency-style case where an avocado pit was vomited up (avoiding surgery), and a vet removing grass seeds from a dog’s ear without immediately opting for sedation.
