Medivet Oakengates in short

Medivet Oakengates is a small-animal practice on Market Street, open weekdays to the evening and on Saturdays, and our review finds its openness the standout feature. Consultation, vaccination and neutering fees sit on its own page with VAT included, and night cover runs through a named Shrewsbury clinic with a stated consult fee and free phone assessment.

Customers rate Medivet Oakengates strongly, with 4.7 on Google from 277 reviews, the only review source on record. The RCVS register lists the practice as an accredited Small Animal General Practice with graduate development and nurse training roles. Against it, night cases mean a drive to Shrewsbury rather than staying in Telford, which our review counts as the main drawback for owners without easy transport.

The record shows a small-animal practice on Market Street in Oakengates, open on weekdays into the evening and on Saturdays, with the fee list covering consultations, vaccinations and neutering. Night cover runs through a named Shrewsbury clinic with its own phone number and stated consult fee, and phone assessment carries no charge. Group terms add that quoted prices include VAT and that written estimates come before treatment.

The customer evidence behind this review comes from a single public source, Google reviews, where owners have left scores in the hundreds. That single-source picture holds across the whole round: no second platform carries enough Telford reviews to set beside it. Our review reads that as solid backing for the top spot, with the usual caution that happy routine visits and difficult nights all land in one pot.

Our verdict

Our judgement: this practice suits you if you want a full fee list up front and a named night clinic with a stated consult fee [1]. The RCVS listing, published email and long company record are on the public record [1] [3] [4]. Against it, night cases mean a trip to Shrewsbury, and Sunday opening is absent [1].

Questions about Medivet Oakengates

Is Medivet Oakengates any good?

On the evidence, yes for owners who want prices settled early: it tops our Telford emergency vet table, holds 4.7 on Google from 277 reviews, and publishes its fee list with a named night clinic [5] [1]. Night cases travel to Shrewsbury, so weigh that if transport is difficult. Read the full review, then save the night number in your phone.

Is Medivet Oakengates RCVS registered?

Yes. The RCVS register lists Medivet Oakengates as an accredited Small Animal General Practice, with graduate development and nurse training roles [3]. That is the entry to check against the Market Street address. Confirm the listing yourself on Find a Vet before you register your pet. The Market Street address on the register should match the surgery you visit.

What does Medivet Oakengates charge?

A standard vet appointment is published at £58.00 in normal hours, with an out-of-hours consult at £130 through Medivet 24 Hour Shrewsbury and no charge for phone assessment [1]. Group terms state prices include VAT with written estimates promised [2]. Ask for the written estimate before agreeing to treatment beyond a first examination.

Where does Medivet Oakengates work?

The practice sits on Market Street in Oakengates, open weekdays to the evening and on Saturdays, with night cover from Medivet 24 Hour Shrewsbury [1]. Daytime care stays in Telford while overnight cases travel. Send your postcode with your enquiry to confirm you are inside its patch. Keep the Shrewsbury address with the overnight number.

How is Medivet Oakengates ranked?

It ranks first of the nine emergency vets in our September round, chosen as the best overall pick for published fees with named Shrewsbury night cover. We looked first at customer evidence, then qualifications and openness about cover and pricing. Read the full review, then ask for the written estimate.

How do I get a quote from Medivet Oakengates?

Phone the practice with your pet's species, age and symptoms and ask for a written estimate before agreeing to anything beyond examination. Standard fees sit on the practice page with VAT included, so you can check the starting figure yourself, while night work through Shrewsbury is quoted at triage. Bring your insurance details and excess figure to the same call.

What do reviews say about Medivet Oakengates?

Google reviewers give the practice 4.7 from 277 reviews, the only review source on record. That is a strong score from a busy surgery, and our review treats it as solid backing for the top spot. Routine visits dominate the file, so owners facing a first midnight drive should still read how the practice handles its hardest nights.

How does Medivet Oakengates compare with the others in the round?

It sits first of the nine, ahead of Gladstone Vets on pricing openness while Gladstone keeps nights on one site. Against the other fee-publishing daytime practices it wins on the completeness of its list and its stated night consult fee. Its one structural disadvantage is geography: night cases leave Telford for Shrewsbury, a drive only its fellow Medivet practice shares.
