The Dunkeld Vet – Vets in Dunkeld
Clinic Overview
The Dunkeld Vet describes itself as a locally owned, independent small-animal practice, set up to treat cats, dogs and exotic pets. Recent reviews consistently point to a small team approach where owners are kept informed: people mention thorough explanations during appointments and practical guidance for first-time owners. A couple of concrete examples from reviews include a same-day appointment arranged after a phone call for a dog with a “back passage” problem, and a vet doing a “very thorough physical and behavioural checkup” with tips to improve a dog’s health.

We took Ted, our toy poodle, to this practice because he had a problem with his back passage! Ted got his problem sorted on the same day we made the phone call, and he was treated with kindness by a caring vet! The vet explained to us, thoroughly, what he was doing to Ted and why the problem occurred! I highly recommend Dunkeld Veterinary Practice.

Dr Nicole was very professional and informative for us as first time owners. Very thorough physical and behavioural checkup, with tips on how to maintain and improve our dog's health. From our first inquiry to our visit, the receptionist was friendly and welcoming. We are very pleased and confident that we are in good hands.

Nicole and her team are fantastic. Our Leo was a very nervous dog, and Nicole took time and care to make him feel loved, safe and at ease from his first visit. Nicole and Beth took extra care when Leo became seriously ill in July 2024. They were kind and understanding, and gave us comforting and practical advice during a very difficult time. We really appreciate everything the team did to help us cope with our sadness and grief. A wonderful knowledgeable vet practice, and loving gentle team. Thank you.

Absolutely brilliant vets, the love that they have for animals shines through. They took outstanding care of my cockapoo and make sure that I was reassured about everything that would take place & what to expect afterwards. Islay would also like to give a five paw review
