Okeford Veterinary Centre - Okehampton

Wonderful, competent and patient vet (Emily Wilks) and lovely lady at the reception (Annie). Thank you!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to this wonderful veterinary clinic and the incredible team working that day. We arrived in a panic after our dog suffered a severe overheating episode. She could barely breathe, her tongue was turning purple, and, without exaggeration, I genuinely thought we were going to lose her. We were travelling from London and weren’t even local clients, but the team didn’t hesitate for a second. They reacted immediately, doing everything they could to cool her down and stabilise her. They also gave her medication to help calm her, and within an hour our baby was relaxed, drinking water and eventually falling asleep. It was such an enormous relief. What touched us even more was that we weren’t charged for the emergency appointment. That kindness, on top of the exceptional care you provided, means more to us than we can put into words. Thank you to the entire team for saving our girl and for treating her (and us) with such compassion. We will be forever grateful.

I’ve used okeford vets since my dog was a puppy. They have always been brilliant & caring with my dog. Never any problems and very helpful. She’s now 12 and still happy to visit.

Had to see them yesterday for a poorly snake and they were brilliant. Made plenty of time for us and pointed us in the right direction for more specialist care.

Should be 10 stars at the very least!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ As we walked into the warm and clean reception area (where high standards never falter) We were greeted by our usual reception staff, who are always extremely welcoming, warm, professional and ALWAYS greet my fur babies, by coming round to say hi to them. I feel this is so important as they take time to get to know them and build a good rapport with owners and pets. To me, that in itself speaks volumes. Thank you Anny & Alison! To be fair, it’s normally a drama when my trio enter the building as I’m normally saved by reception, vets and nurses as my feral trio bulldoze their way out of the cage from the boot of my car and make a b-line for the road before I can put leads on them and get their paws 🐾 🐾 into the building! ………..(To be fair. that could be why MY trio are so well known!?! 🤔🤦🏼‍♀️) The vets and practice/caring nurses (We saw Kerri and Sarah today and they are both worth their weight in gold, especially as they think nothing of getting on the floor and trying to talk and cuddle the doggos into having an injection or having their nails clipped. Especially when this sometimes turns into a wrestle, with blood, sweat and tears 🤣 But they take it all in their stride and the job gets done with a smile! Poor Kerri seams to always get the brunt of out visits! We had the pleasure of meeting a new vet yesterday who was as brilliant as the others. Normally my Charley doesn’t like men, but the vet, from the off had Charley eating gravy bones out of his hand; literally!! We can’t praise EVERYONE at Okehampton and Chagford enough. They are a team and give their all, and their all is second to none! They’re all so welcoming, informative, and share their knowledge. Also, what’s reassuring for me, is that they take time to explain, when (if you’re like me) it all becomes a blur with information overload! My troublesome trio enjoy their trips to the vets - Charley LOVES the attention…….(and (maybe 🤔 the gravy bones 🦴 play a part?!!🤦🏼‍♀️🤣🤦🏼‍♀️) W!llow is ALWAYS happy because my monthly visit nearly ALWAYS results in a new squeaky toy! 🧸 And what a selection they have! (When I say ‘they’ I mean ‘Okeford Vets’, however, my husband would argue we can match their selection at home! - or even raise it……. 🤦🏼‍♀️🥴🤣) Buddy thinks when he walks his paws through the door 🐾🐾 that he’s going to see his fan club and would stay there being fussed by everyone all day! He’s like “I’ve just stopped by for MORE attention, like us show cockers should!”🤦🏼‍♀️🤣….. We can’t recommend Okeford Vets enough, they tick every box to the highest of standards and we’d never pick convenience over quality, which is why, despite a few recent moves, we remain loyal to Okeford Vets because they are THE BEST. This is thanks to everyone there at the practices. Faye, Charley, W!llow & Buddy! 🐾🐾🦴

We were referred to Okeford vets from our own vet, specifically to see Kirstin the dermatologist. We have been in safe hands and felt at ease from our very first visit- her experience and knowledge is phenomenal and we are so so grateful she has managed to fix our lovely Ozzie! Thank you so much for everything and thank you to okeford vets for being accommodating and making us feel welcome, 5* service.

We were very grateful for the amazing care our cat Edward was given, especially on his final day, when he was put to sleep. He was treated so gently and professionally and they made a super hard day more manageable, especially for my teenage daughter who was heartbroken. Thank you for taking such good care of Edward and ourselves.
