About

Thaxted Vets is an independent small animal practice serving the Thaxted and Saffron Walden area of Essex since 2007. The surgery offers behavioural consultations, diagnostic imaging, laboratory work, orthopaedic and general surgery, vaccinations and emergency care.

The practice aims to provide continuity of care, with clients typically seeing the same veterinary surgeon at each visit. Its orthopaedic and behavioural capabilities give it a broader clinical scope than many general practices of comparable size, allowing a range of cases to be managed without referral.

Really fantastic vets, I feel so happy to take my pets here. Thank you for your compassion and empathy when my cat was put to rest.

Incredibly rude. Wouldn’t take animals there based on how they talk to people!

From my experience not taking on any more dogs which I find strange since it’s a private practice. It felt more likely to be a racist component by the way the receptionist looked at me when i first entered the warehouse…. Asked me lots of personal question and then said the veterinarian would be in touch if they wanted to accept me???? I thought it was more about me than my dog…
