Oundle Veterinary Surgery was established in the 1930’s and has been on its current site in South Road since the 1970’s.
The practice was taken over by the husband and wife team of Nick & Karen Park in 2003 and has since undergone extensive and ongoing
refurbishments to ensure the practice can continue to offer the very best possible standards of care and attention to our clients
and patients.
The practice is traditionally owned and run as very much part of the local community, retaining its friendly and caring approach whilst
striving to continue to improve and develop the standards and services offered.
Our aim is to provide a high level of clinical care in a friendly and relaxed environment. Continuity of care is essential to our
approach so will we always endeavour to offer you a consultation to see the vet of your choice at a time that suits you.

Veterinary Services
Our experienced and caring team of vets have your pets needs at the forefront of their minds and offer help and advice to keep your pet happy and healthy. We insist on regular continuing professional development, membership of multiple veterinary organizations and journals, and hold regular practice meetings to ensure we all keep up to date with the latest thinking.
We are keen to pass on our high standards to younger prospective members of the profession and so often have work experience or veterinary students seeing practice with us. Please let us know if you would prefer not to have a student in your consultation. Should things go wrong our diagnostic tools include xrays, ultrasound and blood pressure monitoring. Our in house lab offers same day results on a wide range of blood tests as well as allowing us to carry out urine analysis and microscopy.
This means that your pet’s illness can be diagnosed and treated rapidly, giving them the possible chance of a fast and full recovery. We have dedicated operating theatres for carrying out surgical procedures. Heat mats and soft bedding are used to keep animals warm during procedures, and appropriate levels of pain relief are administered where necessary. We routinely offer pre-anaesthetic blood screens to check the health of the liver and kidneys in older patients requiring a general anaesthetic.
By doing so we can identify higher risk patients and out measures in place to make their anaesthetic as safe as possible. Most areas of surgery are offered including soft tissue and dentistry. Our team of veterinary nurses are also able to offer a wide range of services. Again we are a veterinary nurse training practice and so often have trainees or prospective students from the local area.
Clinics offered include:
As well constantly striving to expand and improve the services on offer we continue to invest in the facilities of the practice including:
Phase 2 of the redevelopment at the back of the practice is now completed and the new separate cat and dog ward areas with modern spacious kennels, including hospitalisation and isolation facilities are working well.
Similarly the new dedicated operating theatres and recovery room, along with the refurbished imaging suite and in house laboratory are up and running and working well.
Hospitalised patients will get peace and quiet in a warm comfortable environment speeding their rate of recovery and making their stay more relaxed. Infectious cases will also be able to be isolated from other animals helping to ensure that your pet does not pick up infection from other people’s animals during their stay with us.
We try our very best to offer a cosy comfortable environment for your pet during its recovery, giving you peace of mind in knowing that they are in caring hands.
We have six vets on the clinical team with three full time and three part time clinicians. All the vets are able to offer a first opinion service for companion animals including routine preventative health care and a full range of diagnosis, treatment and surgical interventions where necessary.
The nursing team comprises four qualified veterinary nurses and two trainees. Our nurses are able to answer many day to day questions regarding routine health care, and run highly popular clinics, classes and consultations to help ensure your pet gets the very best advice and care at all stages during their lives.
Reception is run by a team of four staff members. As a first point of contact they are able to offer advice on when an appointment with a vet is needed, as well as being able to answer many day to day questions regarding routine healthcare.
