Featured Clinic Overview
Oakham Veterinary Hospital describes itself as a long-established, purpose-built practice with separate equine and small animal departments, extensive hospital facilities, and diagnostic equipment, and it states it holds RCVS Tier 3 hospital status. Reviews back up a set-up geared to both routine care and more serious hospital cases: one owner describes their assistance dog being hospitalised for 6 days/nights after being given under a 20% chance of survival, and another describes surgical treatment for glaucoma that resulted in removal of an eye. Owners also repeatedly mention good explanations (including “the bad side of things”), being kept updated, and being seen promptly for urgent problems (for example, a puppy that ate part of a toy was “seen straight away”).

Recent reviews are mostly positive and include concrete examples such as rapid appointment triage for euthanasia, hospitalisation updates with photos, and orthopaedic surgery support after a cruciate ligament injury. A minority of reviews report serious concerns (handling incident and a disputed heart murmur referral), and there’s also conflicting feedback about whether the practice is independent or part of a larger group.
