Medivet North Oxford

Medivet North Oxford is part of the Medivet group. The practice is described in reviews as clean and organised, with owners mentioning routine preventative care (first puppy check-up, immunisations and microchipping) as well as cats’ medical workups and dental procedures (a “minor operation” on a cat’s teeth). Across multiple recent reviews, people highlight the time the vet takes during appointments and careful handling during tests (including restraining a fractious cat for testing). There is also a conflicting note in the latest reviews: one owner calls it a “money mill” after three visits in a week, while others describe good care and no unnecessary add-ons.
