Wootton Fields Veterinary Surgery

Wootton Fields Veterinary Surgery is part of Spinney Lodge (“Spinney Vets”), a small-animal practice that’s been operating for over 50 years and is RCVS accredited. The practice offers routine preventative care plus targeted clinics (including nurse-led clinics and a “Lumps & Bumps Clinic”), and uses Vets Now for out-of-hours emergencies. Reviews most often describe straightforward, calm consultations (including with anxious dogs), but there is also a detailed complaint about a long appointment dominated by computer input, a poor reception welcome, and a high charge for eye drops that required a disclaimer because they were not tested on dogs.

This must be the best vet practice in town. The staff are welcoming, caring and efficient. My dog is always happy to go there and shows absolutely no signs of stress when meeting the vets. Really happy with the advice given.

Had terrible experience. 15 minute wait to be seen, with my anxious dog during a thunderstorm. Not a warm welcome at reception and vet didn't seem to know why I was there or what he was doing. Visit took 45 minutes of which the majority was vet typing into computer while nervous dog was standing on the table. In addition to the annual vaccination I was charged £60 for a small bottle of eyes drops that have not been tested on dogs, only humans, so I had to sign a disclaimer. I could have bought the same stuff online for about £6.

Use this vets for both of our dogs since they were 8 weeks old. The oldest Cockapoo has had sensitive skin issues since he was a Pup, thank goodness for pet insurance! They have been great with his treatment and regular medication. They have a pet plan for regular flea & worming treatment which saves us having to remember when due! All vets and reception staff are very friendly and professional. They're very local to us which is a bonus but we wouldn't go anywhere else and would highly recommend them.

Normally see Alex at both Spinney vets branches and I’m so happy that you have our pets and owners best interests at heart! So thank you for everything you have done for us. We have seen other staff members too and we always get such a lovely positive service and really do help my fur babies, I do NOT feel they ‘money grab’ like most peoples prospective on veterinary hospitals. My pets are also not afraid to come through those doors lol, Thank you very much to you all x
