What pet owners say
For rabbits: for those who've been with Great Western Exotics and moving to Swindon Chipping Norton be mindful it's a mixed animals Vets so there are dogs and cat waiting areas in same Receptiin area nd the dogs were walking to the consulting rooms in front of where we were sat. Not ideal as quite close. They offered to put the rabbit in an empty room on request or you can sit in the car and wait which may be my preferred option next time. They have covers for carriers you can borrow and nice touch and a box of VERY nice Timothy Hay there available. We only went for booster jabs for the rabbit today. It was all done very well and the online booking system and text reminders were useful. We didn't wait too long to book the appointment and lots of slots available. They have two Exotics Vets if you are happy to travel to know your rabbit would get acess to excellent 24/7. But be mindful the road is closed near by the vets at time of writing so check your journey route and time accordingly if coming any distance! They are Gold RWA members. See photo of cert and board. Price list is displayed in board. Correct at time of posting. Only reason for 4 stars is being a mixed practice and not specialist Exotics only and the small animal area could do with being walled off because they had big dogs walking to consult rooms right next to us. It wasn't an Exotics vets we saw vut they did mention this straight at start and we were only there to get booster jabs. So I have not experienced the need to see one of their two Exotics vets to measure that.

My cat was always an incredibly difficult patient, she had a reputation for fighting the staff at every visit! But every single member of the team treated her with nothing but kindness, patience and understanding. The receptionists are always so warm and welcoming, and the vets and nurses were wonderful with her, despite her very strong opinions about vet visits. When she was recently put to sleep, the out-of-hours team were exceptional. They handled an unimaginably difficult evening with such gentleness, dignity and compassion, and I’m so thankful that my cat’s final moments were peaceful, in the care of such wonderful people. Thank you for looking after my ‘spirited’ girl throughout her life. She was deeply loved, and I’ll always be grateful for the care and kindness you showed us both.

We had to take our dog to the out of hours vet and he was fantastic considering it was a traumatic time for us. Very nice and friendly towards us and our dog. Didnt pressure us or rush us. Going to transfer our other dog from our current vets to there.

Outstanding absolutely second to none! Compassion led, perfectly professional, superbly skilled and heart fully honest. The lengths they went to, to offer us comfort and compassion is beyond word. Our dearest Tilly, Shih Tzu age 12, suddenly became very ill and in severe acute pain, their instincts was kidney, yep they were right, a stone stuck, sadly she had her last sleep the next day. They offered us time and space to process the news pre and post her last sleep, not once were we rushed, the gentle compassionate nods from reception as we left and emails that followed so made a very emotional experience more personal and meaningful. We’ve used Chippy vet hospital many times with Tilly, each time was 10/10! I can only end this review saying what feels so insignificant for the lengths they all went to; , thank you so very deeply x🐾🌈

The staff at this vets were absolutely amazing during such a difficult time for us. Every member of the team was loving, caring, respectful, and incredibly helpful throughout. They took the time to explain everything clearly and kept us informed at every stage, which made a heartbreaking situation a little easier to cope with. Even though our beloved pet sadly passed away, we truly felt they received the best possible care and compassion right until the end. We are very grateful for the kindness and professionalism shown to both our pet and our family. Thank you all so much.
