The Beeches Veterinary Centre – Vets in Slough
Clinic Overview
The Beeches Veterinary Centre is part of the Active Vetcare Veterinary Group and operates as a small animal practice. From the clinic’s own service list and facilities, it looks set up for both routine care (vaccines, parasite control, nurse clinics) and more involved work, including diagnostic imaging (X‑ray, ultrasound) and an on-site laboratory, plus referral services for soft tissue surgery, orthopaedics and cardiology.
In recent reviews, owners describe clear communication and collaborative decision-making (for example, being “constantly informed of the options” during a pet’s illness). One detailed account describes a dog with a foreign body in the eye, where the vet pushed for a specialist ophthalmology consultation and the object was removed “quickly and smoothly.” There are also a small number of sharply negative reviews that complain of “zero cooperation with the client,” which conflicts with other owners’ experiences of being kept informed.

Took my dog for a consultation, with a veterinarian called Angela. She made both myself and my dog very comfortable. Explained everything well and got me the cheapest quote she could. I would recommend this practice.

The clinic took excellent care of our pets and kept us constantly informed of the options during their illness. All the staff were very supportive all throughout, from the reception staff to the nurses and vets, would highly recommend the Beeches. Also very reasonable for their treatment compared to some other places!

I honestly can't put into words how impressed and grateful I am for everyone at The Beeches! Anyone who knows me knows I’m a total dog mum, and having the amazing team at The Beeches care for our two dachshunds has made every vet visit so much easier and less stressful. We recently had a bit of bad luck — one of our girls got a foreign body stuck in her eye. We rushed to the emergency vets at Summerleaze on Friday night (they were also wonderful!) and were given some drops to help treat it. On Monday, we had our follow-up at The Beeches, and Nelly — who is usually nervous and reactive — was seen by Angela. Thanks to the calm, kind environment the whole team creates, Nelly felt safe and comfortable. Angela was incredible and knew exactly when to take the next step. She pushed forward to get a specialist consultation with the ophthalmologist, John Burgess (also fantastic), and thanks to that, we were able to get the foreign object removed quickly and smoothly. The whole team worked together to support Nelly, and I couldn’t be more thankful for the care and quick turnaround. A very special thank you to Katie — Nelly’s new best friend — and to Megan, Jude, and Paige for being so sweet and organised throughout everything. And of course, thank you to Angela for her insight, care, and impeccable timing. It really says something when your dog is excited to visit the vet — our other dachshund, Poppy, can’t wait for her visits and always runs in to say hello to everyone!

They helped look after my old and much loved dog Boo after he was diagnosed diabetic. They were also very kind when I had to say goodbye to my boy. They now look after my current two dogs
