Farm Vets in Aylesbury

## Summary Wendover Heights Veterinary Centre has provided veterinary care for over 40 years and is RCVS-accredited. It treats cats, dogs and horses, and is also a veterinary nurse training facility. Owners most often describe a practice that takes time to explain options (so they feel “informed and empowered”) and handles both routine care (for example, first vaccinations for kittens) and urgent situations (for example, rapid response after a dog ate raisins). A distinctive practical feature mentioned is a separate cat area/building, which owners say helps keep cats calmer away from dogs. The practice also offers routine late-evening appointments until 8:15pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays (at its main branch). ## Services - Care for **cats, dogs and horses** (species listed on the practice website). - **Cat clinic / separate cat area**: one owner describes the cat area being in a separate building, helping cats stay calm away from dogs. - **Vaccinations**: first vaccinations for kittens are specifically mentioned. - **Laser treatment**: owners mention bringing dogs in for laser treatment. - **Urgent care**: a review describes a dog being “rushed” in after eating raisins, with fast action and ongoing updates. - **Extended appointment times**: routine late-evening appointments until **8:15pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays** (as stated on the website). ## People - **Vet Anna**: mentioned by name in a review; described as friendly and professional during kitten vaccination visits, helping owners feel comfortable. - **Vet Noel**: mentioned by name in a review; similarly described as friendly and professional during visits. - **Reception team**: specifically praised for practical help and support—one review describes staff making tea, offering sandwiches, and ensuring comfort while clients dealt with a car breakdown after an appointment. ## Reviews **4.8 stars from 373 reviews.** Themes below are drawn from the latest written reviews available to us. - Owners repeatedly mention **clear explanations and unhurried appointments**, saying they felt informed and able to make decisions. - **Supportive handling in stressful situations** is a recurring point (for example, fast response and regular updates after raisin ingestion). - **Cat-focused setup** is called out as a reason some owners choose the practice (separate cat area/building to reduce stress around dogs). - Several reviews highlight **helpful reception staff**, including practical care for clients during an unexpected issue (car breakdown).

## Summary Hampden Veterinary Hospital is a 24/7, 365-days-a-year veterinary hospital for pets, and the wider practice also states it treats horses and farm animals. Reviews suggest the small-animal side sees a lot of routine preventative care (vaccinations, health checks, flea/worm treatments) alongside complex medical/surgical cases—one owner describes a major operation (leg amputation) with aftercare, and another mentions hospitalisation for an older dog with multiple health complications (blindness and diabetes). From the latest reviews, owners most often highlight staff adapting appointments for anxious or difficult pets (e.g., carrying out a vaccination in the waiting area to keep things quieter; finding a way to give jabs without anaesthesia/hospitalisation). A minority report concerns about cost escalation and wanting clearer explanations of options. ## Services - **24/7 emergency care for pets** (stated on the clinic website). - **Routine vaccinations and health checks** (dogs, cats, rabbits referenced in reviews). - **Preventative parasite treatments**: monthly flea and worming treatment mentioned; ongoing flea-related injections mentioned by one long-term cat owner. - **Complex care and hospitalisation**: one review describes a dog staying in hospital with significant comorbidities (old age, blindness, diabetes). - **Surgery and aftercare**: one owner reports a major operation to remove a cat’s leg, with aftercare. - **Support for anxious/nervous pets**: owners describe accommodations such as scheduling the last appointment to reduce noise/traffic and delivering consults outside the consult room. - **Insurance claims support**: one reviewer says record-keeping made insurance claims easy. - **Veterinary Nurse Training facility** (listed in the clinic data provided). ## Pricing - One reviewer reports being quoted **£1,500** for treatment for a cat, with the **total rising to over £3,500** by the end of care, and says they would have liked options explained more clearly. ## People - **Malcolm**: mentioned as helping find a way for a “very difficult” cat to have vaccinations **without being anaesthetised and going to hospital**. - **Maddie and Janet**: praised for handling a **deaf, very anxious dog**—the vaccination was ultimately given during a long appointment carried out in the waiting area because the dog wouldn’t enter the consult room. - **Leone**: mentioned for **careful handling of an elderly rabbit**, giving a vaccination plus a thorough health check, and offering advice. - Reviews also repeatedly mention vets/receptionists being accommodating during vaccination visits (e.g., working around a nervous dog’s needs; a vet described as excellent with both a dog and a cat). ## Reviews **4.3 stars from 180 reviews.** Themes below are drawn from the latest written reviews available to us. - **Handling nervous or difficult pets**: multiple owners describe staff changing how/where appointments happen (e.g., vaccinating in the waiting area; finding alternatives to anaesthesia/hospital stays for jabs). - **Preventative care is common**: several reviews are specifically about vaccinations, weigh-ins, and starting flea/worming routines. - **Complex cases are mentioned**: hospital stay for an older dog with diabetes/blindness; a cat leg amputation with aftercare. - **Process/admin**: one owner says records are kept well and **insurance claims were made easier**. - **Wait time**: one reviewer reports waiting about **30 minutes** past their appointment time. - **Cost and options communication**: one reviewer describes treatment costs increasing well beyond an initial quote and felt options (including euthanasia) were not clearly explained; they interpret this as being “money driven.”
