Beaumont Veterinary Clinic – Vets in Oxford
Clinic Overview
Beaumont Veterinary Clinic operates under the Beaumont Veterinary Group brand and is set up as a small‑animal practice offering routine care alongside a broad range of in-house diagnostics and procedures (including imaging and an in-house lab). The clinic is also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility, and the website notes Cat Friendly Clinic (Silver) accreditation.
From the latest reviews available to us, owners describe two clear sides: several accounts of strong support in urgent and emotionally difficult situations (including handling a cat brought in deceased and arranging an urgent cat appointment with clear explanations), alongside serious complaints about pricing communication (a dental estimate later increasing by about £300) and a dispute over providing replacement pain relief without re-examining the cat.

- •Consultations and routine preventative care: vaccinations, parasite control, microchipping, six‑month health checks

Reviews
Google rating: 4.5 stars from 143 reviews. “”
- •Urgent-care handling and communication: one owner reports getting an urgent appointment for a cat and says the treatment was explained clearly, with reception handling the emergency well. Another review describes a smooth experience from the initial call to payment for a dog’s cut leg.
- •Support around bereavement: one detailed account describes staff being “professional, sympathetic and supportive” after a cat was brought to the practice deceased, and the owner says this experience led them to switch another pet’s care to the clinic.
- •Pricing/quote dispute (negative): one reviewer says a quoted dental price later increased so that the new minimum exceeded the original maximum, and they were not proactively told about the change; they cancelled after management did not honour the original quote (described as ~£300 difference).
- •Medication/policy dispute and alleged adverse reaction (negative): one reviewer reports being refused replacement pain relief unless the cat was re-examined, describes difficulty transporting a stray kitten for that check, and says they were later told the practice did not want to continue with them as a client. The same review alleges a kitten became very unwell after being given a deworming tablet that the reviewer says was recommended as safe.

I had two stray kittens . treated by them . Both male and female were spayed and neutered same day . They gave metacam and I forgot it in the taxi . I phoned them and requested if I can buy one more bottle as I lost the one they gave me . They told me they can’t do give painkillers without checking the cat . Cat was brought . Kitten was hiding under the bed and putting him in cat carder was so difficult as it was a stray kitten . I explained but they refused . Next day I received an email saying I was rude and they don’t want to continue with me as a client Previous to this incident they prescribed me anti fleas plus deworming . Deworming for two month old kitten was not good idea but they told me that it was safe for kittens . I gave 1/3 tablet to one of the kittens and he nearly died . He was spitting some foam stuff and was sick for days . Second vet who I had bad experience with

Received a quote for my cat to get a dental, and booked the appointment based off of the quoted price. Received the consent form for anaesthetic via email before the procedure and the minimum price range of the procedure changed to above the maximum price range of my quote. I queried this and was advised the original quotation was incorrect because they applied a discount that shouldn't be there, although the quote had no mention of a discount. I was not made aware of the change in price, and was left to discover this myself. I escalated to management, as I was not prepared to pay £300 more than the quoted price. They did not honour their original quotation. I cancelled the appointment and will not be going back.

I would like to record the amazing support we had recently from the Headington practice. Our beautiful Bengal cat Mittens was found dead in a field by a member of the public, and brought in to the practice. The staff have, without exception, been both extremely professional, sympathetic and supportive. As a result, for our dog, we are switching to Beaumont vets. You cannot put a price on this sort of service.

I needed an urgent appointment for my cat, and everyone was exceptional and constantly went above and beyond. Becca, the vet, was fantastic, I can't praise her enough. I was impressed with her knowledge, and she was patient with me too as I was worried. Amy - thank you for explaining the treatment to me so well. And receptionists are amazing- they know how to deal with emergencies so well! Highly recommended!

We have been clients of Beaumont Vet since 2016, and our experience has been nothing short of exceptional. The entire team is highly professional, compassionate, and dedicated to providing the best possible care. Their expertise and kindness have been evident in every visit, and we have always felt reassured knowing that our pet, Theo, is in such capable hands. Thank you to the entire team at Beaumont Vet for your continued dedication and excellent service!
