Your Trusted Independent Veterinary Practice in Preston
Oakhill Vets has been delivering exceptional veterinary care across Lancashire since 1974. As one of the few remaining independent practices in the region, we combine advanced treatments with genuine personal care for pets, farm animals, and equines. Our three-division structure ensures specialist-led services while maintaining a holistic approach to animal welfare. With facilities in Goosnargh, Fulwood, and Kirkham, we serve the North West through 24/7 emergency provision and a dedicated community vet nurse service. Our RCVS-accredited team prioritises preventative healthcare through initiatives like the 365 Care Plan, offering flexible consultations and transparent cost structures.The practice remains proudly owner-operated, maintaining autonomy to focus on compassionate care rather than corporate formulas. Over five decades, we've built lasting relationships with clients by treating pets as family members and owners as care partners. Our investment in state-of-the-art diagnostics and specialist equipment ensures rapid access to advanced treatments. The farm division provides herd-level preventative strategies, while the equine team offers ambulatory services across the region. This commitment to comprehensive, community-focused veterinary care has earned us a 5-star Google rating and the trust of thousands of local animal owners.
