Mull and Iona Vets

Mull and Iona Vets provides care for both “animals large and small,” and states it offers 24/7 emergency care. Recent reviews repeatedly describe a practice that will make time for urgent problems (including “dropp[ing] everything” to treat a dog that ate a mince pie), and that can be a helpful option even if you’re not already a client (one reviewer was given practical help sourcing a syringe to administer a dog’s pain medication). Multiple reviewers also mention a pragmatic, responsive style for time-sensitive issues (for example, an older dog with vertigo) and thorough examinations for ongoing problems.

Lovely vets with a genuinely professional and caring service. You can tell this practice is focused on animal welfare, not money. I only wish they were closer to home.

When you’re 600 miles from home with a vertiginous old spaniel it’s great to know these ladies are on hand. Kind, generous, pragmatic and responsive, AND an amazing drive to see them over near the Ulva ferry. Brilliant experience.

Helen and the girls are brilliant. Professional, kind, caring and very skilled in what they do. They will drop everything to help if they can, despite being so busy. My dog loves them so much, he nearly pulls my arm off trying to get in the surgery! That has to be a massive positive review in itself. So sad to be leaving the island and losing their services.

I stupidly forgot my dog's syringe for dispensing her painkiller when I went camping in Mull. On spec I rang the vet to see if she could help. Despite being busy and having surgery coming up she was really helpful and was able to search out a syringe that would work and I was able to collect it from her. She had no obligation towards me, I wasn't a client and unlikely to ever be one. Definitely left me with a warm fuzzy feeling!

Our collie decided she wanted one last adventure before we left Mull so she snaffled a mince pie. I can’t recommend this practice highly enough, the vet was lovely, dropped everything to provide timely treatment. Importantly she was also highly professional and we felt our dog was getting the best treatment, certainly one of the best vets I’ve had in the UK. If you’re on Mull and need treatment for your pet don’t think twice about going here!

Used the vets whilst on holiday for an ongoing issue with my dog. They were absolutely wonderful, so caring and thorough with their examination and made sure we had everything we needed for the rest of our holiday. Their hard work made sure our dog was happy and healthy until we returned home, not sure what we would have done without them to be honest! Do not hesitate to get in touch if you need them when visiting Mull. Thank you so much Mull and Iona vets!
