Vets in Angus | Scotland Veterinary Directory

Tower Veterinary Centre is a veterinary practice that (based on the available clinic data) offers emergency veterinary services and is a veterinary nurse training facility. Reviews describe both routine and more complex care over long periods, including repeat treatment for greyhounds’ torn knees and support through end-of-life care for a cat (including a condolence card and follow-up information). Several owners also mention being able to get an appointment despite not being registered, and that staff help keep owners calm during stressful visits. A recurring downside in recent reviews is concern that prices have increased significantly.

Parkside Veterinary Group Ltd treats multiple species (pets, horses and farm animals) and states that emergency/out-of-hours care is available for all three. In reviews, owners most often describe routine preventative care (boosters/injections and yearly check-ups), with several detailed examples of vets taking time to settle nervous dogs before giving injections so the pet “never even noticed it.” Owners also mention practical touches such as online booking, and one euthanasia experience where they were taken straight into a room, allowed to stay as long as needed, and later received a sympathy card and forget-me-nots to scatter. A recurring concern from one long-term client is dissatisfaction with the outsourced after-hours service, described as “shoddy and extremely expensive.”

Abbey Veterinary Clinics is a small-animal practice (cats, dogs and puppies are specifically mentioned) and is also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews frequently describe a relaxed, less “hospital-like” atmosphere and staff who handle nervous pets calmly—one owner said their cat barely noticed first vaccinations. There is also a contrasting complaint about repeated direct debit errors and dissatisfaction with how a long-standing client felt treated when leaving.

Vets Now (Dundee) is part of the Vets Now network (the website describes 60+ UK emergency locations) and is set up primarily for out‑of‑hours pet emergencies rather than routine daytime care. The clinic also offers video consultations, and the website states it provides emergency cover when “host practices are closed.” Recent reviews describe fast triage and ongoing communication during urgent cases—for example, a dog seen after being hit by a car, and pets kept in for monitoring (“in for two nights”). Several owners mention proactive updates, including follow-up calls and “regular updates” on a pet’s progress. Reviews also repeatedly note that out‑of‑hours care can be costly, with one describing it as “invaluable” despite the price.

Thrums Veterinary Group describes itself as Scotland’s largest independent veterinary group, providing care for pets, farm animals, and equine (established since 1948). The website states they run their own 24/7, 365 emergency and out-of-hours service and do not outsource cases to third parties. From the latest reviews available, owners most often describe: - Continuity of care (e.g., arranging for the same vet to see a dog for a thorough follow-up check after the dog had been unwell). - Support in end-of-life situations, including being allowed to stay as long as wanted and receiving paw prints and nose prints as keepsakes. - Ongoing follow-up during recovery, with repeated return visits over weeks for a puppy’s cut paw, with focus on comfort and pain control. - Post-operation aftercare being specifically praised (one owner said aftercare following an operation was “brilliant”).
