Company

Established in the local community for over 15 years, Beechwood Veterinary Centre is proud to serve Woodley and the surrounding area with excellent veterinary services and care by our passionate and dedicated team of experienced veterinary surgeons and nurses.

We have a fully equipped operating theatre for routine and more 
complicated surgeries. Patients are admitted between 8am and 
8.30am on the morning of their procedure and most go home later the same day. 

Throughout their procedures and during recovery, animals are 
constantly monitored by veterinary nurses. Sometimes it is necessary 
that animals stay in overnight for further monitoring and pain relief. We are also able to accomplish some more advanced orthopaedic and soft tissue surgeries on site, but for those that we cannot undertake, we are often able to offer the service of our Summerleaze Veterinary Hospital in Maidenhead, which also undertakes laproscopic surgery (key-hole camera surgery).

Active Vetcare Group is a group of vet practices focused on providing excellent care for your animals. All of our staff are highly trained and receive ongoing training.

With 10 sites in the Thames Valley area you are sure to find a surgery near you. Select the 'Practices' option, from the top menu, to find the nearest one to you.

We provide a 24 hour 7 days a week service either via our own qualified staff, or through our emergency Out Of Hours service providers.

You'll be pleased to know that all our practices are well maintained and looked after and two of our practices have been awarded hospital status by the RCVS.

We regularly monitor our prices to ensure that we offer you affordable healthcare for your pet. When you visit us you will always be provided with an estimate first and we outline treatment options. We always recommend that you insure your pet and if you click on the link for Petplan our partner you can find out more information.

In effect we strive to offer you an excellent service, using highly trained, caring staff, in state of the art surroundings. We even have our own in-house referral service now to operate on highly complex procedures.

You can visit our free advice section (from the top menu) to find out how to look after your pet and we also provide free nurse clinics to support this. Just click on the 'Services' menu option, for more information.

Active Vetcare Ltd was aquired by CVS (UK) Limited in January 2007 and now operates as part of this larger group of veterinary practices and veterinary service providers.
