About Abivale Veterinary Group

Welcome to Abivale, South Oxfordshire’s most established veterinary group. We are dedicated to providing the highest quality veterinary services for you and your pets, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

We practice out of five surgeries in Abingdon, Didcot, Wallingford, Wantage and Oxford.
We operate our own out of hours emergency cover, meaning you will always have an Abivale vet with all your pets details and history to hand, just when you really need them.

So, wherever you are, and whenever you need help, you are never far from an Abivale practice, Abivale expert advice and Abivale care and attention.

At Abivale, we are proud to offer your pet a lifetime of care.
