Old Hall Veterinary Centre describes itself as an independent practice and highlights a “test before you treat” approach. It also promotes Green & Ultra-Green health care plans and holds environmental recognitions including the Greenest Vet Practice Award 2022 plus the highest level of accreditation with Investors in the Environment (2022, 2023, 2024). In recent reviews, owners repeatedly mention pets being kept calm and handled gently (including nervous dogs), and one detailed account describes end-of-life care where the vet sedated first, explained the process clearly, and gave the family time to say goodbye. Another review describes a non-registered dog being seen within a couple of hours for a straightforward issue that needed doing promptly.
