    We’ve had such a positive experience with this clinic and I’m incredibly grateful for the care they gave my dog. From the moment we arrived, the staff were welcoming, kind, and genuinely compassionate. The vets took the time to explain everything clearly, answer all of our questions, and made sure my dog felt comfortable and cared for throughout every visit.

    We've visited Oak Barn vets a few times recently with our new puppy and the experience has always been great. A couple of days ago one our cats had an eye issue, I hadn't gotten round to registering her yet, but it was extremely simple, and I was able to book an 8.30am appointment online earlier in the morning. All staff we have seen, including (and especially) reception staff are always incredibly lovely and professional, and the practice itself is beautiful and spacious. Couldn't recommend more!

    Everyone we have encountered at Oak Barn has been professional, empathetic and supportive. The facilities are amazing and there is a warm welcoming atmosphere thanks to the lovely receptionists. Harry, the vet we have visited the most, has a genuine care and consideration for both pets and their owners. He walks you through the process so you can easily understand what is needed and why it's best for your pet, giving options where possible. I can wholeheartedly recommend Oak Barn Vets. Thank you.

    I went on the recommendation of my friend Louis Hoade...I was blown away by the wonderful Vet who knew exactly how to handle Ingrid my rescue dog...she has a very uptight attitude to being handled and touched...so I was relieved to see how calm she was getting her ultrasound done by the amazing Dr Claire Madgwick....hats off to you for keeping her safe and comfortable....she does have a lot of problems that I still don't know about being a rescue...but since she is mine I intend to keep her and give her the best life like she deserves

    Oak Barn Vets are our regular vet; Dr. Emily looks after our bunnies if they are unwell and for routine care. Dr. Emily is a lovely veterinarian with a genuine love for animals. She is knowledgeable, kind and gentle with our rabbits, as well as the consummate professional. Recently, our bunny was unwell and she saw her promptly at short notice, diagnosed her accurately and administered life saving treatment, with prompt recovery starting the same day. Liz at reception was also very kind and efficient. I highly recommend this practice and Dr. Emily for rabbit medical needs, both routine and acute. It is worth noting that not all vets are knowledgeable or very experienced with rabbits who are quite fragile creatures - please make sure you see a vet with interest, knowledge and experience of these animals - Dr. Emily certainly qualifies!

    I have only recently starting using Oak Barn Vets and they have turned what used to be a very stressful experience with taking my blind anxious cat to the vet into a much easier experience. It's the simple things such as ease of parking and getting in and out of the car, to the spacious waiting area and welcoming nurses and reception staff. I have to praise Charlotte for being the absolute best and dealing with a very anxious kitty in such a kind and calm manner.

    Highly recomend for reactive dogs and kinda and caring team. We moved from our local vet to Oak Barn Vets a few months ago. Our german shepherd is very nervous and reactive (extremely to dogs) and has to be muzzled. Our previous vets couldn't care less about his needs, so we had to find somewhere else. After some research, my partner found this vets which is a half an hour drive away, on the other side of Guildford. It was the best decision we could have made for him. The team here truly cares about your pets. From the receptionists when we first arrived, to the doctors who helped us and our dog. They are so caring and sympathetic to our situation and circumstances and actively listened to us and wanted to help. We didn't know how our dog would react to the staff as he is also weary of people but he seemed to love them. A massive selling point for us is the side entrance into one of the practice rooms which we could request to avoid bumping into other dogs which was our biggest concern. Sadly we had to put our boy to sleep which was a really tough and heartbreaking decision. The vet team supported us and gave us all the time we needed on the day (I may have over stayed our appointment slightly) but they were very supportive and kind to us and made sure our boy was looked after through this process. We picked his ashes up a few days ago and the receptionist was so kind. He was in a beautiful box with a sympathy card signed by the pet crematorium which I didn't expect but was comforted to recieve. I cannot fault this place. The facilities are perfect and the team are full of wonderful people. If we decided to eventually get another dog we would without hesitation go back.
