Mrs James originally started the practice in Padbury, as a small mixed practice. Her primary interest was in farm-animals. However, with the help of various assistants the small animal side expanded. It reached a size to support 2 full-time and one part-time vet by 1995. The development of the Winslow site, from the Windmill Public house was finished by 1995 and photographs taken at the time show the huge amount of work required to change the derelict building into a veterinary centre. The main bulk of the work was transferred to Winslow, leaving Padbury as a branch surgery. This was subsequently moved to Buckingham.

Mrs Jane Alexander bought the small-animal portion of the practice from Mr James in 1997, having managed the practice for the previous 2 years. The number of vets had risen to 3 full-time and one part-time, with a consequent rise in nursing and reception staff. The practice has continued to grow and now consists of 5 full-time and three part-time vets, with 6 nursing staff and 11 members of the reception team, a mix of full and part-time posts.

The practice ownership became a partnership in November 2001, with Mrs Jacqui Naysmith having been with the practice since 1995 taking on this responsibility. Mr Jeremy Beck took on the farm practice, maintaining his office on the same site, giving continuity to the rural character of the practice.

The main surgery is at Winslow in a prominent position on the High Street, with parking behind the building. There are three consulting rooms, operating facilities, kennels for day cases and in-patient care, internal imaging facilities, a dispensary and waiting area for clients attending the surgery. Consultations are available throughout the day, by appointment. Out-of-Hours emergencies are dealt with by VetsNow.
