As i've recently aquired an addition to our household in form of cooper, a boxer, i was looking for…read morea good vet to get him checked over and vaccinated. After asking around a bit i ended up going to this surgery. And i'm glad i did. The opening hours suit even the busiest person, there is an appointment only surgery in the morning and an open surgery in the afternoon. They also run a surgewry on a saturday. The staff were really nice and helpful and the vet lovely with cooper. I went to the open surgery but didn't have to wait for long. Cooper got all his jags, everything went really quick, but i never felt rushed. The vet answered all my questions in a way even i could understand (lol). If you're looking for a vet i'd recommend this one any time.

We have been long term customers of the Arc Vets…read more They were great when our previous cat was seriously ill, helping with the insurance forms, special food and doing everything that they could in a very difficult situation. We now know the vets by name and have a great relationship with them, which has continued on with our new cats. All the staff always appear to be really interested in all the pets and their "owners", taking care of everything from cats & dogs, to some of the more unusual animals that people keep now a days. A few years ago they expanded the surgery so that they could add more vets and consulting rooms, however their standards have remained high, the staff are always friendly and the place is always busy.

A number of years ago when we had Guinea Pigs! I was told…read moreabout a fantastic new Vet who had specialized in Exotics and She was somewhere in the Airdrie area! However try as i might I just Couldn't find this elusive Madonna! which meant for us a 90 mile round trip to Edinburgh for an Exotics vet that we trusted! when the last of Our Guinea Pigs passed away we decided that we wanted to try Rats as pets! Buying a couple of P{@H Rats we quickly found out the disadvantages of getting Factory farmed pocket Pets! Ant & Dec where the most loving Dumbo Rats you could ever hope to have! However Ants persistent cough and URI problems again lead us to find a vet a bit Closer to home! as his problems where far more urgent! than any other animal we had ... so a certain vets where recommended and we made them our new vet! by this time we had built our little family to 6 boys all of which demanded their play and cuddle time! Due to a bad experience with the newer Vet I decided to make a last ditch attempt to Find this elusive Madonna McGuire (Now Livingston) after fifty phone calls, I thought i was onto a possible clue as to where this amazing vet was hiding herself! So a trip to the main Practice and their she was in all her Purple Glory Madonna (eyes like a Hawk) Livingston! That's my Nickname for her as she miss'es Nothing! Madonna then got the 50 questions from me! I had learnt by this time to vet my vets to make sure they knew their stuff with regards to exotic's My first question to her was How much penicillin would she give a guinea pig who weighed 800 gram's and had a URI and urinary tract Infection! she gave the the now famous Madonna Look and told me that penicillin would more than likely Kill a guinea Pig and made the correct diagnoses with Baytril I then fired off a few more non trick questions and Madonna answered them faultlessly! when then had a nice chat about the exotic pets she had had over the years! I knew by the end of the chat i had found My Life long Vet. While I have focused on Madonna she has made it her mission to train any new vets in the practice up to her standard! And I am happy to say that I would not hesitate to take any Animal to Ark vet..as they all show a respect and professionalize for not only the owner but the animal that is left in their charge....

He did the same for our Bearded Collie when she had Pyometra. All of these incidents happened during the night or on the weekend and Jim operated on the spot. He's referred us to the Vet Hospital on a few occasions when our dogs have needed more involved intervention. We cannot thank him enough for all he's done and continues to do for our dogs. We have been going to him since approximately 1992. I cant rate him enough, he is such a sincere and caring man.

It has to be…read moresomeone you respect and trust, who you would feel safe in the knowledge that they were prescribing your pooch the right medicine. We took our little puppy Ollie to a different vets at first in a neighbouring village but didn't find them to be very accomodating when we needed them most; my pup was taken from his mum too early and had a lot of digestion problems. One night, in an emergency we called the Brannock Vets Surgery, when the pup was really poorly. They couldn't have been more helpful, telling us exactly how to deal with the problem. So they became my doggies new doctor! The surgery itself is small, with one treatment room and extensive area through the back. The receptionists are young and friendly, and always really sweet when my pup piddles in the corner every single time he goes there! The vet, Elaine, is just fantastic with the animals and puts them and the owners at complete ease. We even ring up sometimes just to ask advice and she's always happy to help. The surgery sells a small selection of pet food and toys too, which is handy if you want to reward your furry friend there and then for his bravery! Fantastic vet, can't recommend it enough!
