Stowe Veterinary Centre Ltd

Stowe Veterinary Centre Ltd is a general veterinary practice (no specific accreditations or specialties were stated on the available website data). Recent reviews describe the clinic handling sudden urgent illness, including rapid triage by reception, a vet making a quick initial diagnosis followed by a non‑invasive test, and providing peaceful euthanasia when owners chose that option. Other owners mention being seen at short notice for a cat and staff “going above and beyond.” One recent review strongly disputes the standard of care, alleging a week of ineffective treatment, heavy paracetamol use, a bill of over £2,000, and subsequent liver damage—so experiences reported are mixed.

• •Calm, practical handling of very sick pets: urgency recognised on the phone, supportive arrival arrangements (a mattress in reception), and clear communication about seriousness and next steps.
• •End‑of‑life care: one owner describes compassionate support and a peaceful euthanasia experience.
• •Short‑notice care: one owner says their cat was seen at short notice and staff were very attentive.
• •A serious negative account conflicts with the above: one owner alleges prolonged ineffective treatment, heavy paracetamol use, a bill over £2,000, and resulting liver damage, stating the practice tried to hide what happened.
