Best Vets in Ellon – Complete Local Guide

Cùmath Pet Surgeons describes itself as an independent referral surgical practice (founded by Scott Rigg and Michelle Murphy) that takes on cases sent by primary-care vets when extra surgical experience or equipment is needed. It focuses on dogs and cats, with surgeons listed as RCVS recognised advanced practitioners in small animal surgery. Based on the website and recent reviews, it appears set up for complex surgical work with structured aftercare and frequent updates—owners mention thorough explanations of options, follow-up calls, and reassuring emails with photos during overnight stays. Recent cases owners describe include cruciate repair, tendon injury surgery and aftercare, dermoid sinus removal, and imaging to locate and remove a foreign body close to an artery after other clinics had failed attempts.

North East Veterinary Ophthalmology appears to be a referral-focused eye clinic for pets, based on multiple reviews describing cases sent over by primary vets for “ongoing eye issues” and complex problems. Owners repeatedly mention detailed eye examinations, clear explanations of options (including alternatives before surgery), and follow-up contact after treatment—for example, a next-day check-in call after a cat was treated the same day. Surgical ophthalmology is specifically referenced in reviews, including eye removal and corneal ulcer procedures, with owners reporting good recoveries and pain relief in older pets.

Glenythan Vet Group Ltd appears to be a multi-branch veterinary practice (the website lists more than one branch) and is also noted in the clinic data as a veterinary nurse training facility. Reviewers most often describe it as set up for both urgent problems and longer-running conditions: examples include being asked to bring a dog in quickly for a badly bleeding foot injury, ongoing support for a new epilepsy diagnosis (talking through options and starting medication), and management of complex skin problems including discussion of alternative remedies. A few reviews also mention extra support for anxious dogs, including free socialisation sessions to help a nervous dog tolerate full health checks.

Glenythan Vet Group Ltd is a multi-branch veterinary practice with an online shop, prescriptions, and both a Pet Health Plan and Equine Health Plan listed on its website. Clinic data also lists emergency veterinary services, and reviews include an example of getting an emergency appointment for an unregistered dog. From the latest written reviews available to us, owner experiences are mixed: some describe clear explanations “not in vet talk” and good handling of difficult-to-treat pets (including an ill dog that didn’t like being touched or injected), while others report a situation where a sick puppy wasn’t helped and felt the vet focused on paperwork over treatment. Cost is also a recurring point, with one reviewer giving specific examples of high charges and medication pricing.
