Best Vets in Angus

• •Speed and flexibility: help arranged quickly (including within 24 hours for travel vaccinations), plus an email appointment reminder mentioned as useful. - Communication during care: owners mention clear explanations of what’s happening and why, and a “listens first before treatment” approach. - Support in emergencies and end-of-life care: one detailed account of an emergency visit leading to euthanasia, with staff talking the owner through it and arranging cremation.

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).

Wallace Vets is a veterinary practice that also acts as a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews describe a mixed experience: several owners highlight patient handling for anxious dogs (including taking extra time so a nervous rescue dog could be fully examined), while a smaller number report serious concerns about cost and communication—one owner says they felt pressured toward euthanasia and were quoted £2.4k for surgery they later had done elsewhere for £1.2k.

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).

The Golf Veterinary Practice describes itself as an independent practice that covers domestic pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, small rodents, and reptiles. Its website content highlights preventative-care topics (vaccinations, microchipping, parasite control, dental health, obesity) across species, and it lists an emergency service. In the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly mention clear advice and information, long-term continuity with specific vets (including James/Jim Scoular), and examples of being fitted in on short notice; there is also one account describing a rude, abrupt consultation with a female vet.

Jollyes appears to operate primarily as a pet retail store (rather than a veterinary clinic), with a website note directing emergencies outside store opening hours to an out‑of‑hours provider. From the information available, it’s set up for everyday pet supplies across multiple species (dogs, cats, birds, small pets, reptiles and fish), with reviews highlighting a large, clean, well-laid-out shop and staff advice on products (including puppy nutrition). Practical, pet-owner details mentioned include dogs being allowed in-store and water available at the entrance; multiple reviews also note occasional stock gaps and a specific complaint about unclear pricing/offer changes at the till.

Wallace Vets is a multi-site veterinary practice (Wallace Vets) that, based on the available information, handles routine care alongside ongoing medical treatment and urgent, same-day problems. Reviews describe straightforward appointment access for an acute issue (a dog with a snapped nail), vaccination consultations where a vet “took time to discuss” concerns before proceeding, and longer-term case management (a cat diagnosed with FIP) with owners saying questions were answered “honestly.” The clinic is also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility and as providing emergency veterinary services.
