Abington Park Vets

Abington Park Vets describes itself as Abington Park Veterinary Group, is RCVS-accredited, and is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. The website highlights Puppy Parties, neutering, and physiotherapy, plus a referrals service and guidance for what to do out of hours.

From recent reviews, owners commonly mention time spent discussing options and clear advice. There are also specific positives around dental treatment (including the vet “not being judgemental” and giving ongoing advice). However, a minority of reviews raise serious concerns about care for non-traditional pets (a tortoise and a rabbit), including claims of missed urgency/insufficient testing and poor outcomes—so experiences appear mixed depending on the case and species.
