I am writing another review about this outstanding veterinary practice! I have been registered with this fantastic practice for over a 5 years now and have made many visits with my 3 dogs. They are truly outstanding in every way. All of the vets, veterinary nurses and office/reception staff are a pleasure to deal with. They are knowledgeable, polite, highly professional and very friendly. Nothing is a problem and you can always get an appointment to see someone or discuss a concern over the phone. We are usually seen by Adam or Charlotte and they are just brilliant. They are exceptionally knowledgeable and always put my dogs at ease. Thank you Blenheim for an impeccable service. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone. Thank you.

Sadly I had to take my old border collie to be put to sleep today. She was sixteen and a half years old. I cannot praise the vet Katie enough, so was very professional, compassionate and caring. Her understanding was genuine as it all is every time I see her, so thank you very much

I used to really rate this vets. Now my impression is they are very impersonal and commercial. The receptionist Debbie would benefit from training. I rang to request a home visit to have my beloved dog put to sleep. Debbie didn't listen properly and asked if I was bringing her into the surgery and asked my/my dog's name more than once. She then left me on hold longer than I deem appropriate in such an upsetting situation. She then said she couldn't give me a time (fair enough) but I had to ask lots of times what the latest was likely to be. Debbie just kept saying she couldn't say until I said "you must have a closing time? I'm guessing it is not going to be 10pm??" I was quoted a price, made arrangements for my friend to take time off work, planned my dog's final few hours then was telephoned some time later to be told there would be an additional charge of £83. By then I was committed emotionally and in terms of plans made. Any vet I have worked for or been a client of before sends a sympathy card when a pet is put to sleep. Not this vets, I just got an invoice and when I rang to pay I was left on hold again. Holly was polite but showed no empathy and was very matter of fact. Not impressed with any aspect of this £284 transaction. Very different from my experience when Adam came out 14 or so years ago to put my last dog to sleep

Absolutely amazing team at this practice. Front of house always super helpful and I can’t thank Katie Hanks enough for her patience and care for my dog who can get a little nervous when at the Vets. When he had a damaged nail that needed to come off, Katie was incredible to care for him and sort the problem out. Great experience.

An excellent Veterinary Centre where my five spaniels have been treated over many years by various members of staff. Sadly, I recently had to say goodbye to my wonderful 15 year old Springer Spaniel. I therefore wish to express my gratitude to Adam for his exceptional vet care during her lifetime and in her finał hours.He showed immense care and compassion towards both my Springer and me at such a difficult time -truly above and beyond expectations. Adam is undoubtedly a fantastic vet and extremely understanding and supportive of any concerned pet owner. Blenheim Veterinary Centre is very fortunate to have such a highly experienced and popular vet (both with pets and owners). He is definitely the best in the veterinary business.
