About Us
Bicester Vets is a high quality, modern small animal veterinary practice based in the heart of Bicester. We are accredited under the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons – Practice Standards Scheme. This is a voluntary scheme aimed at practices wishing to attain very high standards.
Our biggest asset is our staff who have the experience, knowledge and skills to ensure that your pet receives the highest quality of care. Our dedication to clinical excellence is backed by our commitment to Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for all staff, ensuring that the most up-to-date treatments are available at the time when your pet needs it most.
Our dedicated receptionists are on hand to make your appointments and deal with any general queries you may have. They are all pet lovers too and are committed to the care and welfare of your pets.
Hospitalisation facilities are provided for the very sick and for those recovering from operations overnight. Our veterinary in-patient facilities are maintained to the highest standards of hygiene and comfort and include separate cat and dog wards, together with isolation and intensive care wards.
If your pet requires an overnight stay, one of our nursing staff will be on-site all night to ensure their safety and well-being.
Surgery is performed on the premises in our modern operating suite using the most up to date anaesthetic drugs and equipment. Anaesthetised patients are closely monitored by our nursing staff throughout their operation and recovery. They have the back up of vital sign monitoring equipment to ensure patient safety during anaesthesia.
X-rays, ultrasound and other diagnostic procedures are performed using the latest equipment and safety precautions so that we can identify the cause of any problems quickly. This enables Bicester Vets to offer the best possible advice to owners with the aim of returning their pets to good health.

Bicester Vets Pet Care and Advice
From buying a new puppy to dealing with fleas, ticks and worms, find out all you need to know with our Pet Care articles
Buying a puppy or kitten?
Bringing home a new pet will be a very exciting time for the whole family. A little research and forward preparation can ensure that everything goes as smoothly as possible.
Vaccination and annual health checks
Regular health check-ups are important for the long-term health and welfare of all pets. Routine examinations allow us to take a pro-active role in preventive health care.
Cruciate MMP surgery
Cranial cruciate ligament failure is a common orthopaedic problem in dogs. The ligament helps to stabilise the knee joint whilst allowing it to flex & extend.
Anaesthesia and surgery
It is natural to be concerned about anaesthesia and surgery. Whilst no-one has yet devised “risk-free anaesthesia” modern drugs, techniques and protocols can minimise these risks.
Laparoscopic “Keyhole” Bitch Spays
Medium & larger bitches can have keyhole surgery for their neutering procedure – improving recovery and return to exercise.
BVA Eye Testing
The British Veterinary Association (BVA) in association with the Kennel Club (KC) and the International Sheep Dog Society (ISDS) run a screening programme for hereditary eye diseases in dogs.
Weight control and dietary advice
We all know the importance of eating sensibly and of avoiding obesity. Bicester Vets can provide comprehensive dietary advice and products to suit individual pets and owners.
Microchipping
Microchipping is a modern way of identifying your pet and helps to reunite lost pets with their owners. The chip is about the size of a grain of rice and is implanted with a needle.
Worming
Puppies and Kittens Puppies can have roundworms from birth and can pick up more from the bitch’s milk whilst suckling. They can re-infest their mother from about three weeks of age.
Fleas
Good Flea control plays an important role in ensuring your pet’s welfare. Flea bites cause irritation and discomfort and in some allergic animals, more severe skin disease.
Ear Mites
Ear mites, as their name suggests, live in the ear and are the commonest mite affecting dogs and cats. Infected animals tend to have large amounts of brown, crusty wax in the ear canal.
Neutering
Should you spay or castrate your pet? For the general pet population, spaying or castrating is highly recommended.
Lump Removal
If your pet has a lump, Bicester Vets may advise you to have it removed. There are several possible reasons for the removal.
Dental hygiene
It is generally recognised in clinical practice, between 70-80% of cats and dogs over three years old will have some dental disease.
Euthanasia
Losing a pet is a hard and painful experience. Pets are members of the family. The decision to euthanase is a very hard one, but the advice of your vet will be invaluable to help you in your decision.
Rescue
We are involved with work for the RSPCA rehoming centre at Blackberry Farm. Bicester Vets are proud to be associated with the centre and the excellent work they do in finding homes for unwanted and abandoned animals.
