Buckingham Vets4Pets Ltd

Buckingham Vets4Pets Ltd is described on its website as a locally owned practice and is a veterinary nurse training facility. The clinic appears set up for both routine care and a wide range of in-practice diagnostics and surgery (for example, an in-house lab, digital X‑ray, ultrasound and an operating theatre are listed). In the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly mention being seen quickly, staff spending time to explain options and answer questions, and support around pet loss. One recent negative review alleges an extra non-core puppy vaccination was given and billed without the owner’s agreement, with the bill arriving weeks later.
