Updated January 2026
Independent Clinic

Clinic Overview

Stoley’s Vets (Great Oakley Vets Ltd) is an independent practice (opened by “Stoley” after previously seeing some clients through another clinic, according to reviews) and is an RCVS registered premises. Based on the clinic’s own service list and recent reviews, it’s set up for both routine care and more involved work, including in-house diagnostics (digital imaging, endoscopy, internal laboratory) and surgical/dental procedures.

Decision-relevant specifics owners mention include

  • Home visits, including support during very emotional end-of-life appointments.
  • Out-of-hours emergency care, with one review describing being seen at midnight despite not being registered.
  • Dental problems treated promptly, including a next-day appointment for a dog with a dental abscess needing treatment.
  • A recurring perception that the vet doesn’t push unnecessary procedures and focuses on what benefits the pet.

People

  • “Stoley” (vet/owner, as described in reviews): Clients repeatedly mention him remembering individual pets, explaining options, and prioritising the animal’s needs (one reviewer specifically notes he doesn’t push unnecessary treatment, including not pushing for C-sections).
  • Wider team (reception and veterinary nurses): Reviews highlight practical support around access and logistics—e.g., arranging help when an owner couldn’t get to the practice, and one instance where a staff member collected and returned a dog when the owner was recovering from surgery.

Reviews

Google rating: 5 stars from 83 reviews.

  • End-of-life and home goodbye support comes up multiple times: owners describe compassionate handling and enabling pets to be at home.
  • Responsiveness when urgent: examples include a next-day appointment for a dental abscess and an out-of-hours emergency visit for a non-registered caller.
  • Practical help beyond the consult is mentioned (home visits for owners who can’t travel; a staff member helping with transport).
  • Decision-making and value: a few reviewers explicitly say they felt the vet focused on the pet’s welfare rather than “for the money,” and one notes being charged less than expected (no specific prices given).
