We were only with Stowe vets for a short time but from start to finish I cannot explain how amazing they were, sadly we had to make the hardest decision to let our dog go but I could not have asked for a better vet to support us with this, the vet was so kind and considerate and made that decision so much easier, from what I’ve heard of other vets they can be really inconsiderate, but Stowe vets made such a difficult time go so smoothly, they booked us in when we wanted to even though it was close to closing, they didn’t expect payment straight away, they gave us time with our girl before she left us. Their out of hours service what very good, we were in within 10 minutes of calling and the vet kept us updated whilst she was in their hospital. Even prior to this they provided excellent care and helped us look after our dog, I cannot thank them enough for caring for our baby girl.

Cannot thank and recommend Stowvets enough for what they do for my cat Sox, he attends regularly for nail clipping and a thyroid check up/treatment. I recently discovered a small lump on Sox and this was treated and action taken immediately and successful surgery today, big shoutout to Konrad for everything he’s been doing for Sox and all the staff at Stowvets too. Thank you so much again.

At the beginning of December my dog became suddenly very unwell. I telephoned the vets and the receptionist was excellent. She was very understanding and realised the urgency. When we attended they greeted us and provided my dog with a mattress in reception. The vet quickly made a diagnosis of possible cause and the seriousness of the situation. After a non invasive test to confirm diagnosis. We decided our nine year old GSD should pass away peacefully. Again the team were excellent, she passed away peacefully. We remain devastated but are extremely grateful to everyone involved in her care that evening.

Absolutely disgusting. They 'treated' my dog for over a week, even though I did request antibiotics on day 1. After a week of shocking amount of paracetamol , their "treatment" actually worsening my dog's condition and bill of over £2k- they ended up giving him what I requested on day 1 anyway... My dog ended up with damaged liver because of the amount of paracetamol he's been given (which the practice tried to hide). So my poor pooch went in with simple food poisoning, which could have easily been sorted within 24hrs but instead cost me over £2k and a liver damage. This practice is all about money, nothing else- just read other comments...

Absolutely fantastic surgery!!! They took very good care of my cat, on very short notice, and could not have been any more attentive to his needs. Thank you to all at Stowe Veterinary Group
