As always with Abivale Wallingford, the staff were welcoming. The Vet who accomplished the "check up" on our Pets was empathetic towards them, (though our Pets opinion may vary)? The Vet spoke to them with even calming tones, and was gentle in their handling during the check ups. As always professional in approach and manners.

The team at Wallingford and Abingdon are always lovely and keen to help. When we've needed to be seen quickly they've liased with the other practices to make sure we've been seen in good time. The whole team have a lovely way with animals and my dog is always happy to go to the vets.

Abivale/Wallingford have seen all my dog's, through their lives and always given them and me! The best care! I now have a rescue dog and the staff here are so gentle and understanding with her. I would recommend them to everyone. Thankyou.

Lovely vets, very helpful and friendly, always happy to give me advice. My cat had strange anatomy discovered in her spay and they were fantastic about arranging a second surgery and doing a direct claim with insurance so that I didn't have to worry. Poppy says thank you!

Went in to register and after doing so online (because we were told it was a ‘lengthy process’ - it’s not) we later decided to go with another Vet. Polite email sent explaining this - no reply. Request also made to be taken off their database, which hasn’t happened because we are still getting their promotional emails. On reflection glad we went with another surgery.
