Oak Tree Surgery – Vets in Carlisle

Updated January 2026
Independent Clinic

Clinic Overview

Oak Tree Surgery appears on the Paragon Veterinary Group website (a multi-species practice stating over 80 years’ experience) and the site explicitly lists advanced breeding work such as embryo transfer, IVF and semen collection. However, the latest Google written reviews available to us are largely about a visitor-style venue (woodland dog walks, a café/tearoom, a charity shop and seeing animals like donkeys and goats), with only one recent review describing veterinary-style care (a dog being looked after while the owner was in hospital, with photo updates).

Concrete details mentioned by reviewers include

  • A dog being cared for during an owner’s hospital stay, with regular picture updates.
  • Dog adoption support including a book detailing the dog’s training/health/preferences and help around microchip/insurance/vet check.
  • On-site dog-walking areas described as shaded/woodland, plus a café/tearoom offering baked goods and meals.

Services

From the clinic website summary for Paragon Veterinary Group

  • Advanced breeding/reproduction services: embryo transfer services, IVF, semen collection.
  • Species listed as covered: pets, equine, and farm animals.

From wording visible in the website navigation captured in our source (listed as sections/pages rather than described in detail)

  • Pet-focused pages referencing pricing, pet insurance, nurse clinics, and end-of-life care.
  • Equine pages referencing routine healthcare, emergencies, lameness, reproduction, gastroscopy, endoscopy, surgery, dentistry, and therapeutic laser.
  • Farm pages referencing emergencies and routine work, plus areas like goats, training, and foot trimming.

Reviews

Google rating: 4.7 stars from 571 reviews.

  • Many reviews describe a non-clinic experience: people mention visiting for the café/tearoom (fresh food, cakes/scones), woodland walks with dogs, and seeing animals such as donkeys and goats.
  • Dog adoption is described in detail in one review: adopters say they received a book about the dog (training/health/preferences), plus checks and practical help (microchip/insurance/vet check, preparation for bringing the dog home).
  • One review describes hands-on animal care with updates: an owner says their lurcher was looked after while they were in hospital, with photo updates provided.
  • A negative rating is present without details: one 1‑star review was posted with no written explanation in the text we received.
