Foxcotte Veterinary Clinics Ltd

Foxcotte Veterinary Clinics Ltd is described on its website as a long-established, independent small-animal practice. Reviews suggest it regularly handles both routine consults and short-notice urgent problems: owners mention being offered an appointment within 2 hours after a bank holiday, and another case where a dog with a sliced-open foot was “fixed up within half hour” after the team made space to be seen straight away. The practice is also referenced as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility, and one review mentions a vet appointment with a trainee observing. A few owners also describe ongoing support for chronic conditions, including long-term medication with check-in calls from the vet (including out-of-hours calls in one account).
