Please accept our heartfelt thanks for guiding us through the last couple of weeks. We’re obviously bereft at the loss of our beloved friend Sparkie, but we take comfort from the compassionate and sincere help he had before and after his operations. We’d like to send our love to Catriona in particular as it can’t have been easy having put so much in to Sparkies care. Thank you for your kindness, compassion and professionalism, it means a lot to us. We’d also like to thank everyone for looking after Sparkie over the last 10 years. We’ll miss him terribly but take comfort from having done everything possible.

First class support from Alison and the team at Dalriada Vets after our little dog Mac was bitten by an adder. Can't thank all the team enough for their fast and professional response to Mac and the support for us was just exceptional. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

On holiday and unfortunately our old dog became too frail to travel home. Dalriada vets were so caring and compassionate about putting her to sleep making the journey as easy and gentle for her.
