We use our own vets and nurses to run this service and it is something of which we are really proud.
We are looking for vets who will want to do their very best for their clients; go that extra mile when needed and support the rest of team at all times.

We are very involved in the local community and are looking forward to contributing to the Queen's Jubilee celebrations later in June.

Company

Caring for pets since 1993, Hart Vets is a family run veterinary practice with modern surgeries in Bicester and Waddesdon. Our  surgeries have been designed to provide the highest quality of care using the latest technology for diagnosis and treatment.

Hart vets are dedicated to providing quality health care with compassion. We like our patients to see the same vet whenever possible. We care for your pets the same way we would want our own pets to be cared for.

We have on-site parking available for clients at both our Bicester Veterinary Hospital and our Waddesdon surgery, with disabled access to our waiting rooms and consulting areas. Our surgeries are air-conditioned and we have separate dog and cat areas so that our patient environment remains calm.

Unlike most veterinary practices, we have a nurse awake caring for our patients at our Bicester Veterinary Hospital every night, as well as having a vet on call. Our dedicated night nurses ensure that our patients receive the same high standard of care at night as they do during the day, every day of the year. We are the only veterinary practice in the area that employs dedicated night nurses to work throughout the night caring for our patients.

Most of our clients live locally in the Bicester – Aylesbury area, but many of our clients come from nearby towns and villages including Oxford, Kidlington, Thame, Brackley, Banbury, Buckingham, Winslow and Milton Keynes.

Hart Vets is one of only approximately 150 veterinary practices in the country that have achieved the standard necessary to be accredited as a small animal veterinary hospital.
