Independent Clinic
Treats:

Regency Vets appears to be an independent practice founded by a husband-and-wife vet team (Alex and Olivia, as described by a client). Reviews repeatedly point to continuity of care (owners say they can see the same vet) and unhurried appointments, including one report of an hour-long cat consultation with a thorough examination. Owners also describe clear explanations of procedures and costs before treatment, and several mention calmer, confidence-building handling for nervous pets (for example, getting down to the dog’s level to help them settle). Surgery is specifically referenced through spays, with multiple clients describing reassurance throughout booking, drop-off and collection.

Arvonia Vets describes itself as an independent practice (established since 1980) focused on family pets, with on-site advanced kit including a CT scanner, ultrasound, and a fully equipped laboratory. The practice appears set up for both everyday care (for example vaccinations, puppy/kitten packs, and repeat prescriptions) and more complex surgical work (the website highlights orthopaedics, knee reconstruction, and complex soft tissue surgery). In recent reviews, owners repeatedly mention same-day appointments, clear explanations and thorough exams, and urgent care including an emergency C-section.

Medivet Leckhampton is part of the Medivet group and is listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. From the latest reviews available to us, it appears set up for routine vet care and advice-focused appointments: multiple owners mention that consultations aren’t rushed and that vets take time to explain options clearly. A few practical touches come up too—pets being offered treats during visits, and one owner describing the team as able to arrange treatment quickly when needed. There’s also a specific example of breed-focused knowledge: one reviewer felt the team understood dachshunds particularly well.

Woodlands Veterinary Clinic Ltd treats a range of pets (cats, dogs, small furries, and birds/exotics) and, based on its website, offers specific clinics like Puppy Parties, senior pet clinics, and laparoscopic spay surgery. Out of hours, calls are transferred to a dedicated veterinary emergency clinic (rather than being handled in-house). Recent reviews repeatedly describe support with complex, long-running conditions (for example, a dog diagnosed and treated for Cushing’s disease) as well as surgery and aftercare, with owners noting that nurses look after pets after procedures.

Woodmancote Vets describes itself as an independent practice and a veterinary nurse training facility. The website highlights care for “small furry pets” alongside routine and surgical work, and it states they provide round‑the‑clock care via an on‑call veterinarian for urgent needs. Recent reviews mention a recent “makeover” that made the clinic feel “more modern and well organised,” and several long‑term clients say they trust the vets and don’t feel “ripped off.” One reviewer reports a specific problem with the pet health plan and worming medication (reaction, repeat supply, and being asked to pay again), suggesting processes may not always run smoothly when a medication change is needed.
