About our practice!

Hart Vets is an RCVS Accredited Small Animal Hospital, which has been caring for pets since 1993. We are 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 and we have purpose-built facilities across our sites, including Digital x-ray, Idexx diagnostic machines, dental suite, and modern anesthetic monitoring equipment. 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. Most of our clients live locally in the Bicester - Aylesbury area, but many of our clients come from nearby towns and villages. Hart Vets provides quality health care with compassion, and we care for your pets the same way we would want our own pets to be cared for!

Join our established and supportive team!

We have 10 FTE vets working between our two surgeries. They cover a wide range of experience from those who have been qualified for 30 years to new graduates. Similarly, our 14 FTE nurses have a range of experience and various qualifications and interests. To support our awesome nursing team, we have three Animal Nursing Assistants. One of our vets has a surgery certificate and one is working towards hers. Our vets have a wide range of interests from surgery to dermatology and ECC.
