Astonlee Veterinary Centre – Vets in Newport Pagnell
Clinic Overview
Astonlee Veterinary Centre is a small-animal practice established in 1986, treating dogs, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs. The website lists in-house diagnostics (lab work plus X‑ray and ultrasound) alongside routine care and surgery, including stated specialties such as orthopaedic surgery, cardiology and internal medicine. Recent reviews frequently mention strong after-care following procedures (including surgery), the ability to get same-day appointments in at least one case, and thoughtful end-of-life support (including staff coming out to a car so a dog could stay comfortable, plus a condolence card and memorial seeds). A minority of recent reviews mention appointment delays of around 30 minutes, which some owners found difficult with an anxious pet.

The best vet clinic I’ve ever been to! My dog had surgery here and everything went smoothly. The after-care was amazing!! The team is incredibly professional and truly cares about their patients. My dog absolutely loves the staff, which says it all.

I have been going here for nearly 2 years with my cat who sadly passed away recently , my cat suffered badly with FIC and I cannot fault the vets in there , Emma and Jane are honestly the best! And all the other ladies I visited with fudgee , Over the years of using multiple vets I can honestly say the ladies in there really go above and beyond for animals and are so helpful , even after my little man passed they've still been so great and understanding. Sadly it is really expensive and I was looking elsewhere just because I couldn't afford it with a cat with on going problems which was a shame because they were the best I've been to yet , I've always managed to get appointments same day which is fab. Honestly can't fault them , they even last minute got a gorgeous paw print printed for me with a lovely card because the crematorium wouldn't be able to , super special , Thank you everyone at AstonLee.!

My cat Polly has struggled with allergies and a skin condition, I have been to numerous vet practices to try and work out this issue and see what’s best for my Polly, this is the only vet practice that has 100% helped and supported her. Polly’s regular vet Sarina is amazing!!! She has shown pure kindness and genuine help for my girl. She is one amazing vet!!! The reception staff are all so lovely too!

We had an appointment and ended up waiting around 30 minutes before being seen. The staff were friendly, but it was frustrating to wait that long, especially with an anxious pet. I hope they can improve their scheduling or communication in the future.

Took Rosie for her 6 month check yesterday as part of the healthy pet club plan. She was seen by a lovely nurse (apologies) but I've forgotten her name. She gave Rosie a check all over and I was delighted to know she's OK. But at about her maximum ideal weight, so we're both on a diet now! Rosie loves the vets and pulls to get in the surgery, and barks for attention when we're there. A big thank you from both of us. Vic& Rosie

A lovely practise, very welcoming, a nice spacious space for animals. The veterinary staff are superb and I felt totally at ease leaving our two Yorkies in their care. The aftercare and information was very detailed and caring following both procedures. Would highly recommend 🐶🐶🫶🏼
