I used Hook Norton Vets to do a 5* vetting when we bought our young mare from near to Banbury last December. We had a lady vet called Sally (sorry can't remember her surname) I've met her before & was impressed with how thorough she is.
Hook Norton. I recently moved away, and am not too proud to admit that there was a tearful farewell phone call made to Hook Norton....
and I MAY have begged them to still come out to me, even though I'm now two hours away...
Best vets in the world in my opinion, and still the only ones I will trust if any of my animals require surgery. My Great Dane is verrry difficult, and they were fab with him when he was castrated. Horse wise, they're absolutely wonderful too... I really can't sing their praises enough.
ETS - small animal side you want Bella, who is utterly divine, and on the equine side of things, Nancy, Sam and Christina are the MOST fabulous vets.
