2025: After 5 years Crofts are still the best in the area but you do need to watch their prices for medicines. Unfortunately online companies can buy commonly used medicines such as Metacam in bulk of tens of thousands of bottles whereas our local vets can't do this. This explains why 180ml of Metacam for dogs costs £103 at the vets and only £23 online. For medicines like this it makes sense to ask them to price match the online price and pay the £25 for a prescription on top. 2020: The crofts vets are the best in the area. The staff are friendly, the vets are friendly, knowledgeable, professional and give good advice. If you have animals with long term conditions they will price match online suppliers of medicines which is a win win we are supporting a local business while reducing the cost of long term medicines. I highly recommend the crofts for anyone in Brechin and the surrounding area of Angus.

An incredible Vets. We were on holiday in Stunning Scotland. We walked out two dogs and found some ticks. Got most of them off with bar two. Ranged Crofts, very helpful and informative on the phone were told to ring back if needed. Anyway long story short we ended up taking the girls to see them. They were friendly, caring and kind. So wonderful with the girls and got the ticks off we couldn't. We brought the right tool for the rest of our trip. Sad we didn't live here as we would definitely choose these vets for our own. Highly recommended. Brilliant vets and staff.
