Chipping Norton Veterinary Hospital is an RCVS-accredited practice and a Gold Standard Recognised Cat Friendly Clinic and Rabbit Friendly Clinic. It treats a wide range of species beyond cats and dogs, including rabbits, reptiles, parrots and other birds, and even zoo animals (per the clinic website). Recent reviews strongly focus on exotic-pet capability and on-site workups: owners describe CT scanning for a rabbit, ultrasound scanning for a hamster (done conscious), and care for a chameleon. Several reviews also reference urgent or out-of-hours help (including a Sunday early-morning contact) and follow-up communication during longer inpatient treatment (phone calls every other day during a 10‑day stay for a hyperthyroid cat).

Medivet Kidlington is part of the Medivet group and focuses on routine and preventive care (vaccinations, parasite care, neutering, microchipping) alongside in-practice diagnostics like X‑rays and an in-house laboratory. The clinic also offers longer, 15‑minute consultations and services such as nurse clinics, home visits, dentistry, and animal health certificates for pet travel. From the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly mention clear explanations of treatments and quick, efficient appointments (including an injection given promptly), as well as support during difficult situations such as euthanasia. One review flags that costs can feel high (“made me wince”), even though the appointment itself was described positively.

Larkmead Veterinary Group Ltd describes itself as an independent practice providing 24/7 emergency cover and care for pets as well as farm animals, pigs and equines. Recent reviews add some practical detail on what that looks like day-to-day: owners mention surgery with follow-up checks, support through end-of-life care, and help for anxious pets via confidence classes. One review also specifically highlights an avian vet (Dan) treating a cockatiel with a deformed beak.

Cogges Veterinary Surgery is an RCVS-accredited practice established in 1993. It also operates a veterinary nurse training facility. Reviews repeatedly describe practical, decision-relevant behaviours: offering urgent appointments when owners are worried (for example, a cat with FeLV who had stopped eating), talking through options without pushing “expensive” products or procedures, and keeping owners informed about costs and choices. Owners also mention thorough health checks that are explained as they happen, plus supportive handling of end-of-life visits.
