Farm Vets in Wantage

## Summary CW Farm Vets was founded in 2020 (no corporate group ownership is stated). Based on the website and reviews, the practice appears geared towards farm-animal work while also handling smallholder/pet cases: owners mention treatment for pigs, examining a backyard chicken, puppy microchipping, and end-of-life care for a dog. The clinic also states it offers a 24-hour emergency phone service. Feedback is mostly positive about pragmatic, “sensible and realistic” decision-making and calm handling in difficult moments (e.g., euthanasia). However, there are also complaints about poor follow-up/communication after a microchipping mistake (a puppy reportedly found to have two microchips and messages being ignored). ## Services - **24-hour emergency phone service** (stated on the clinic website). - **Farm/livestock care**: owners report pigs treated from being “very sick looking” to “back to full health.” - **Poultry care**: a backyard chicken was examined. - **Microchipping**: puppies were microchipped (one reviewer reports a microchipping error leading to two chips). - **End-of-life care**: euthanasia for an older dog, described as handled in a calm way. ## People - **Sophie (vet)**: mentioned positively in a review for being “caring and knowledgeable” when examining a backyard chicken. - **Team generally**: several reviews describe staff as helpful, sympathetic, friendly, and accommodating; one reviewer describes the vets as “sensible and realistic.” *Conflict noted:* a separate reviewer reports messages being ignored when trying to get a microchipping issue verified. ## Reviews **4.4 stars from 7 reviews.** Themes below are drawn from the latest written reviews available to us. - **Pragmatic clinical approach:** described as “sensible and realistic,” “pragmatic,” and professional. - **Range of animals seen:** pigs, a backyard chicken, a puppy (microchipping), and a dog needing euthanasia. - **Support during sensitive situations:** calm handling during a dog’s euthanasia is specifically mentioned. - **Communication/follow-up concerns (negative):** one reviewer reports a microchipping mistake (two chips) and says messages were ignored when they sought verification, leaving them feeling let down.
