Best Vets in Oswestry – Complete Local Guide

Park Issa Vets Ltd is an RCVS-accredited veterinary hospital that says it has been caring for animals since 1964. It offers a Pet Health Club®/Pet Health Club® Plus plan (the website notes consultations can be included in the Plus plan), and it’s also described as a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews most often describe routine preventative care (vaccines/boosters and health checks) and appointments where vets take time to explain findings—alongside one complaint about a high treatment quote compared with another provider. Concrete details owners mention include: - Annual vaccine + health check for a cat, described as thorough and calming. - A “full health check” for a dog alongside booster, kennel cough vaccination, flea/worm treatment and a nail trim. - Being fitted in the same afternoon for a dog with back pain, with the vet talking through options. - Friendly handling of an anxious dog, and a separate owner noting their muzzled dog was welcomed without judgement.

Border Veterinary Centre is a veterinary practice that also functions as a veterinary nurse training facility and offers emergency veterinary services (described as 24/7 or extended hours). Recent reviews describe a mix of strong clinical experiences—such as treatment for an eye problem that improved within a week and supportive end‑of‑life care (including a condolence card and “forget‑me‑not” seeds)—alongside concerns about front‑desk interactions and internal communication. A few owners report issues like requests not being followed (e.g., agreed collection arrangements after an anaesthetic) and delays in handling insurance paperwork, while a small number of reviews raise more serious complaints about cleanliness and post‑stay issues.

The Market Town Vet is an independent practice. From the information available, it appears set up for routine preventive care (e.g., kitten check-ups and vaccinations) as well as urgent and inpatient medical cases, with owners describing pets being kept in for the day and spending multiple days in a “doggy hospital” with treatments like IV fluids and antibiotics. The practice does not provide out-of-hours care itself; calls are diverted to an external out-of-hours provider. Clinic-specific details mentioned by owners include: - Emergency surgery for a puppy, with the team keeping the owner updated throughout. - Management of a dog that ingested ibuprofen, including attempts to induce vomiting, system flushing, blood tests, and two days of hospitalisation followed by further treatment for infection. - A puppy being in for the full day and returning for second vaccinations, appearing comfortable with the staff.

Oakwood Veterinary Centre is described in reviews as a family-run, holistic-focused practice, with emergency veterinary services listed in the clinic data. Owners repeatedly mention longer, unhurried appointments (“not rushed” and “attention to detail”), and a preference for discussing care without being pushed into insurance-led decisions (one reviewer notes they weren’t asked “how much insurance is available for treatment”). Several reviews also point to a calm, farm-based setting that pets seem to tolerate well, and to compassionate end-of-life support (including helping a dog with cancer pass “peacefully” and sending flowers afterwards).

Lower House Equine Clinic is an equine-only practice offering 24/7 emergency cover and inpatient facilities, and it’s also described in the clinic data as a veterinary nurse training facility. Reviews repeatedly mention working with the clinic both via yard visits and by bringing horses into the clinic, with multiple examples of practical, conservative management advice (for example, a tendon injury plan involving box rest and rehabilitation). Owners also highlight routine preventative care being carried out at the yard (vaccinations, microchipping, and routine dental work) and describe staff taking time to answer questions and keep both horse and owner calm.
