Oakwood Veterinary Centre – Vets in Oswestry
Clinic Overview
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).
Services
- •Emergency veterinary services (listed in clinic data).
- •Holistic veterinary care (multiple reviewers explicitly describe Oakwood as “holistic vets”).
- •Working alongside conventional veterinary medicine: one reviewer says the team “will always work with conventional vets” so animals are covered by both conventional and holistic approaches.

- •Care for cats and dogs: cats and dogs are specifically mentioned in reviews.
- •Medication approach discussed with owners: one review notes an “emphasis on natural rather than synthetic drugs” (as presented by that reviewer).

Must say Barbara and the team at Oakwood, is the best family run vets and organic farm that I have come across in my 3 years in this area. The animals always come first and is refreshing not to be asked how much insurance is available for treatment, like other practices. It's always been amazing treatment for both of my dogs and ' I am so grateful to see the holistic medicine in practice 🙏 that I sort a beautiful lady by the name of pip waller ,who recommended Oakwood s.And to be stopped in my tracks by long covid. This holistic medicine approach has given me my life back ,where the NHS had given up on me ,I will always recommend this treatment and carry on using it when needed. And when my 14 year old sausage dog hattie , was taken ill with cancer last September, Barbara and her daughter was there , To help Hattie pass over to the Rainbow Bridge, 🌈 in a most beautiful and peaceful way ,No pain and the kindness I've rarely seen.And when I came back to see her with my second dog to say goodbye, There was the most beautiful flowers with my girl.And the tears run down my face again. But tears of joy and love for the beautiful service I've had ever time ive been here. Best wishes Steve darling jnr from chirk

Relaxing environment for our cat and much appreciate the holistic approach from experienced vets who take time to talk to you and offer a wealth of knowledge with an emphasis on natural rather than synthetic drugs.

Barbera and the team are just brilliant, and even our dog likes his trips there. Receptionists/staff are always helpful and very very friendly which always puts a big smile on my face. Wouldn't take Goose anywhere else.
