Beaumont Veterinary Clinic – Vets in Kidlington
Clinic Overview
Beaumont Veterinary Clinic is a small-animal practice established in 1964 and is part of CVS Vets (a corporate group). It’s set up for routine care as well as more involved work: the website lists in-house diagnostic imaging (X‑ray and ultrasound), an in-house lab, and a wide range of clinical services including dentistry and surgery, with specialties also described (e.g., cardiology, endoscopy, orthopaedics, internal medicine).
From the latest reviews available, owners most often describe the team handling urgent situations (including staying late and performing what one owner called a “complicated procedure”), and being supportive during end-of-life care. One detailed negative review raises serious concerns about communication and consent around dental extractions, plus large differences between an initial estimate and the final bill, with the practice said to have acknowledged mistakes and adjusted the charges.

I need to share my serious concerns about Beaumont Vets in Kidlington. After being a loyal customer for over 18 years, recent experiences have left me frustrated, emotionally distressed, and disillusioned. Two years ago, after a routine dental procedure for our dog Maisie, we were shocked to find 14 teeth were extracted without prior notice or explanation. A few months later, Maisie had a severe adverse reaction to a booster shot, and the vet was dismissive, despite online reports of similar reactions. Fast forward to January 6th, when I took Autumn in for a dental cleaning and removal of two growths. I clearly communicated I didn’t want unnecessary tooth extractions, and was quoted £950. On the day of the procedure, I was told Autumn needed 9 teeth extracted, but later agreed to 3 or 4. After 3 hours under anesthetic, I was told 6 teeth were removed, and the cost would stay around £900. But when I received the final bill, it was over £1600—way higher than expected. I was charged for an extra tooth removal, x-rays. The clinic did adjust the bill, but it was still much higher than quoted, leaving me feeling betrayed. To make matters worse, I was charged £118 for cancelling my Health Pet Club membership, a charge I was never informed about. After this, we’ve decided to switch to a new vet. The lack of communication, unexpected charges, and emotional toll have been overwhelming. I requested a full review of the situation and compensation, but Beaumont Vets only acknowledged their mistakes and promised changes. I’ve shared this experience to help others make an informed decision before choosing this clinic.

This vet practice is brilliant. My two cats always receive excellent care and the admin team are extremely helpful too with booking appointments and submitting insurance claims for me.
