Iffley Vets, Oxford

Iffley Vets describes itself as a “modern and progressive” practice and offers appointments across two surgeries (once registered at one, you can book at either). The website states out-of-hours emergencies are handled via a partner practice/24‑hour hospital arrangement, and home visits are available if necessary. It’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility.

From the latest reviews, owners most often mention thorough investigations for ongoing health problems (including cats with multiple issues), gentle handling (including pets being addressed by name), and clear communication—especially around treatment options and costs. A recurring counterpoint is that some owners still find consultation fees expensive, even when they value the service.
