WALKABOUT VET – Vets in Stockbridge
Clinic Overview
WALKABOUT VET is a small-animal practice where reviews most often describe end-of-life care, in-home visits, and routine procedures. Multiple owners specifically mention Phil handling difficult situations—such as euthanasia with a focus on dignity and respect, and vaccinations carried out at the pet’s home—as well as pets being kept calm enough that they were comfortable with the team. One review also notes the clinic processed an insurance claim promptly, and another mentions a dog staying with the practice and having a positive experience.

This clinic is in my opinion the best in the country.. Phil is an absolute hero. Unfortunately my beautiful baby bear dexter had to be helped to make his final trip to the rainbow bridge on Saturday.. The compassion Phil and the lady nurse Phil had with him had for dexter was just so lovely. They treated my boy with the upmost respect. Thankx to phil I had another year with dexter that I otherwise wouldn't of had.. all the staff at walk about vets are hero's and I will be forever thankful for them.. most dogs don't like the vets but dexter had a lovely time with you all when he stayed.. thankyou all for your kindness and taking care of my beautiful boy.

Dr Phil came to give our Pomeranian a vaccination today. We were highly impressed with his kind nature, friendliness and professionalism. We are booked in for a spay next week and so glad that we chose this practice.

Took our poorly 14 year old labrador to see the team at Walkabout whilst we were on a short vacation in Leckford. Whilst they had no medical history, everything that was offered to Ella at Walkabout was subsequently repeated by her regular vet at home, so we know the treatment was perfect. Great team. Big shout out to Jayne for being so welcoming and helpful, plus processing the insurance claim promptly. Can't recommend this vets enough.

We have used Walkabout Vet for our last dog. Sadly we recently needed to say farewell to her. Phil, Sarah, the team and their service were nothing short of OUTSTANDING. They made a terribly sad occasion one which could also be special with our dog and they thought of everything afterwards. During her life they had the same fantastic service. She would not go to a vet but Phil always made her feel at ease at home.
