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.

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”).

St David's Poultry Team is a poultry-focused veterinary practice built around commercial flock work rather than small-animal pet care, with stated coverage of broiler, layer, and turkey sectors. The website highlights both on-farm (“field services”) and diagnostic support, including post-mortems and a range of laboratory sampling (salmonella, water, serology, and other diagnostic samples). It also lists hatchery services, retainer schemes, and international consultancy—suggesting ongoing health planning and production support as well as investigation of disease issues. Google shows a 5‑star rating, but the review data we received doesn’t include any written comments to explain what was rated (and the review count appears inconsistent across sources).
