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'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.

I…read morerecommend this Vets to anyone, the owner Doranne Ashley is the main vet and surgeon, and this lady knows her stuff. She is so very kind to the animals, even when they do not want to be her friend, and a bonus she is very understanding with silly pet owners like me. As you would enter Ashley's you may be greeted by vet nurse Kim who is excellent at her job, where she meticulously goes about the filling your complimentary lifetime vet history card to fill in on every visit. They will always remember you here and your pet by name which is really quite rare in this day and age even at a vet centre. They are ever so friendly, and will squeeze you in and stay late if you are really in trouble with your most precious pet. Ashley's is the best place you could ever take a four legged member of the family for first class treatment from start to finish. A little point of advice, try not to make your appointment at rush hour because roads on to this vets can get very busy around that time. Do not let this put you off, it is worth the wait and the travel time just for that piece of mind.

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!

My review relates to the Muirhead practice. Prior to moving…read moreto this Vet I asked for a quote for my elderly dogs long term medication. I was quoted £124 which was slightly higher than my current costs. I then paid £60 for an initial assessment and went ahead and ordered the medication. When I arrived to collected i was informed that it would be £169. I queried this and was informed that they had made a mistake with the quote. The expectation that I would just swallow the 50% increase in cost ! The Vets response was that they were willing to offer a 10% discount. A complete unacceptable offer. They were at all times disorganised and high handed. I would not recommend them at all.

I rejected many establishments as substandard before going with Glenbrae! I knew I had made the right decision the second I had walked in the door and was greeted by the lovely bubbly nurse/ receptionist. She was so friendly and made the process of registering my kitties very quick and easy. There were photos all along the reception desk of the staff's pets which gave a lovely warm feeling that the staff are genuine animal lovers. I made an appointment for the cats to have their vaccinations the next day and there was no problem at all getting the appointment time I wanted. When I brought the little lovelies in the staff were cooing over them which every cat mummy loves to see! As well as giving them their injections the vet also gave them an overall health check: looking at their teeth, feeling their abdomen, listening to their hearts and weighing them. I was given lots of information leaflets away with me including one about how to give my cats' first aid e.g. treating burns, cuts, and broken bones which I found really useful. I was also offered application to the vets pay monthly scheme where you pay a small amount each month and this covers your cats' yearly booster vaccines, worm & flea treatment, an annual check-up and money off toy and food products available in the surgery. This is great if you struggle to pay a big wad of money in one go at yearly vaccine time and your pet insurance doesn't cover routine health "maintenance", only accident injury or illness. Glenbrae also have an emergency out of hour's service with Vetsnow on North Street in Glasgow which is great as pets don't always injury themselves during normal opening hours! Any follow up treatment required after the initial emergency at Vetsnow can be given by Glenbrae. As well as conventional medicine, Glenbrae also offer holistic therapies such as acupuncture and treatment for stressed pets. Cat lovers amongst you will know that cats are fussy little buggers and can become very distressed if their environment changes e.g. if you move in with your 6ft1 boyfriend who looks incredibly scary to tiny kittens, so having treatment like this available is great.

We arrived early and were taken in early, so the wee chap was glad to get out of his carrier. The girl on reception was really friendly, so our first impressions were great. The vet we seen, Susan, was really lovely. She weighed him, checked him all over, asked lots of questions about his behaviour, age etc and seemed genuinely interested in his well-being. She gave us free worming and flea treatments, which is fantastic and got him booked in for his first vaccination. Was given an appointment card too, which is handy for someone as forgetful as me. She was very patient with Stimpy's running around, trying to jump off the table and squirming. She also gave us advice on how much cover we should make sure we have, insurance-wise. They have a selection of pet things in a glass cabinet at the reception, didn't pay much attention to the prices, will have a look next time. There were collars, cat litter, sprays etc. The surgery is super clean and bright. Can't say I'm looking forward to putting Stimpy back in his carrier and watching him get a vaccination, but knowing that this is such a great surgery and that Susan is such a caring person really helps. Really glad this is our local vet!

The poor old feline has since passed away, but we are back at Hyndland again with two kittens we welcomed into our home last week. The kittens are both boys and they were in today for that dreaded surgical procedure...you know the one! To cut a long story short (sorry, horrible pun), everything went really well and the staff at the clinic kept in touch with us throughout the day about how they were getting on and when we would be able to come pick them up. When we did get them early this evening, they looked fine, if a bit dazed, and I felt like they had been well looked after all day long. It's not the easiest procedure for a couple of kitties to endure, but at least they had it done at a good place. The clinic is very busy and always well-staffed. It would be nice to see one dedicated vet each time we visit, but I realise that's just not possible in such a popular clinic. Regardless, we have consistently been pleased with the care our furry friends receive, and the rates for normal procedures are quite reasonable. I'm happy to know that our kittens have a reliable place to go for their vet services and I'd recommend them to anyone in the area. There are other vets closer to where we live, but we travel the extra distance to the Hyndland Surgery because of the excellent care they give.

Around 6 vets work here along with nurses and assistants. They are open until 7pm on most evenings. The practice is clean and tidy and they operate an efficient service to ensure that you are seen as quickly as possible, especially if you pet is really unwell. The advice is offered in laymans terms in order for anyone to understand what is going on. All staff are very helpful and most of them have worked there for a long time. I think that it is nice that they call their pet by their own name eg, rover and add their surname on when they are being called for their appointment. I feel as if the pets they treat are in safe hands.

With the symptoms shared on the phone, I was seen within the hour and Catriona was very personal, friendly, helpful and professional. A clear course of events was explained in an easy to understand manner and pricing was offered before treatment began. Mr Bond was kept in whilst we headed home, but within 20 minutes I received a phone call with the prognosis. Unfortunately it was not the news I expected or wanted to hear, but Catriona gave many options and time to consider them. The right thing to do was euthanasia and Catriona allowed us to be present. Plenty of time to say our good-bye's and ample time on our own with him before we brought him home. Catriona also offered for us to call at anytime if we needed support or to talk. She understood that our Mr Bond was part of the family and was as important to us as any other family member. My last vets in Midlothian were amazing, but this service was above and beyond the call of duty and it is reassuring to know our other pets will be in the hands of the very best. I therefore have no hesitation in recommending them. Thank you very much.
