Medivet Oadby

Medivet Oadby is part of the Medivet group and offers routine appointments (15-minute consultations) plus on-site diagnostics including an in-house laboratory and X‑rays. The practice also lists nurse clinics, home visits, dentistry, neutering, microchipping, parasite care, vaccinations, and animal health certificates for pet travel, and it is a veterinary nurse training facility.

From the latest reviews, owners most often describe vets taking a gentle, thorough approach and explaining options (for example, after a cat bite, an owner said they were given workable choices that helped them keep their cat at home). Multiple reviewers also mention appointments not feeling rushed and pets being helped to settle (staff checking health records, giving “fuss and attention,” and answering questions). Pricing feedback is mixed: several owners call fees “reasonable” (including mention of a free first consultation offer), while one recent reviewer describes the practice as “expensive” and “a hassle to deal with.”
