Stowe Veterinary Centre Ltd is a general veterinary practice (no specific accreditations or specialties were stated on the available website data). Recent reviews describe the clinic handling sudden urgent illness, including rapid triage by reception, a vet making a quick initial diagnosis followed by a non‑invasive test, and providing peaceful euthanasia when owners chose that option.
