Best Vets in Angus

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”).

Blairgowrie Vets Ltd is a Vetsure-accredited veterinary practice that treats pets, rabbits, and horses, with routine care alongside procedures such as neutering and gelding/castration. The clinic also advertises out-of-hours emergency cover via a Duty Vet (accessed through an out-of-hours recorded message). Reviewers most often describe supportive care in difficult situations (including end-of-life appointments and home visits), plus ongoing help with longer-term conditions like canine diabetes—though one recent review alleges the practice prioritises money.

Vets4Pets Perth operates under the Vets4Pets national brand and is described on its website as a locally owned joint venture run by Dr. Philippa Herd and Fionn Aivaliotis. The clinic presents itself as set up for both routine care and more involved in-practice work, with on-site diagnostics (including digital X‑ray, ultrasound and an in‑house lab), an operating theatre, and separate cat/dog waiting areas and wards. From the latest reviews available to us, owners most often describe: - urgent stabilisation carried out in-clinic (one dog with a 41.6°C temperature was put on a cooling mat and cooled with wet towels and an industrial blower before transfer for out-of-hours care) - staff communication and compassion on repeated visits (Philippa is specifically named) - a minority of accounts raising concerns about delays to being seen in an emergency and a strong focus on payment/admin during a crisis

Heartland Veterinary Services Ltd is a veterinary practice that’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews describe a team that focuses on low-stress handling for anxious or nervous dogs, with multiple owners noting staff (including reception) helped their pets settle. Owners also mention being helped after a “stressful night” and positive support around a dog and her puppies (one reviewer registered multiple pups and adult dogs after that experience).

Kidd Veterinary Centre describes itself as an independent mixed practice (small animal, farm and equine) and states that 24/7 emergency care is covered by their own vets. From the latest reviews available to us, owners mention same-day treatment for a torn dew claw (“got us in and treated that morning”), not adding unnecessary extras, and swift out‑of‑hours call‑out help on a Sunday night. Reviews also reference end‑of‑life care (including putting a dog to sleep) and staff being able to calm anxious pets (and owners).

Parkside Veterinary Group treats multiple species (pets, horses and farm animals) and offers emergency/out-of-hours care (as stated on its website). It’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews most often describe routine preventative visits—first vaccinations, boosters and health checks—being handled efficiently, with vets taking time to explain care and helping nervous or “spicy” pets settle (including getting down on the floor with dogs).
