Abbey Veterinary Group

Abbey Veterinary Group is a mixed practice offering care for pets as well as farm animals and horses, and the website states it has been operating for over a century. The clinic says it provides 24/7 in-house emergency care for small animals and a 24-hour mobile emergency service for large animals. Recent reviews include multiple routine preventive-care visits (vaccinations, microchipping, boosters/kennel cough) and one report of being “squeezed in” for an urgent same-day problem after immunisation—alongside a conflicting report from another reviewer who says they were refused emergency help because their cat wasn’t registered.

Concrete specifics mentioned by owners include puppies being vaccinated and microchipped, a booster plus kennel cough visit with an itemised total mentioned, and an emergency post-immunisation check where a “full, thorough examination” was done immediately.

•Preventive care is commonly referenced (puppy vaccinations, microchipping, boosters and kennel cough).
•Several owners describe friendly interactions across both reception and clinical staff, and mention pets being comfortable attending (e.g., dogs “aren’t nervous”).

•Conflicting experiences around emergency access: one reviewer alleges they were refused help for a toxic ingestion because their cat wasn’t registered, while the clinic website states it offers 24/7 in-house emergency care for small animals.
•Pricing perceptions vary: one reviewer calls the practice “reasonably priced,” while another felt the booster/kennel cough visit (£135) was expensive and said they would look elsewhere.

I am absolutely disgusted and heartbroken by my experience with Abbey Vets. My cat accidentally ingested something toxic — a potentially life-or-death situation. Despite living literally two minutes away, when I phoned pleading for help, I was coldly told they would not see her because she was not registered with them. Instead, I was advised to drive 40 minutes to Glasgow rather than the 2 minutes up the hill while every minute could have mattered. This shows me very clearly that the welfare of animals is not their priority — money is. A genuine veterinary practice should put compassion and emergency care first, not paperwork. Sadly, this is not an isolated incident. Only recently, after a dog was hit on Inverkip Road, Abbey Vets’ “advice” was to take it to the police station, simply because there was no owner present to pay a bill, where the dog passed away. That response is beyond shocking and proves my point — if there isn’t money involved, they don’t care. Abbey Vets have shown me they lack the basic compassion and duty of care you would expect from any veterinary practice. I will never forget how badly they failed us when my pet’s life was on the line.

I was badly let down by Abbey vets and I'm sorry but in the last years many people have left this vets as well. due to many reasons, very sad but true, due to my dog being reactive I stayed outside in my car calming my dog, the weather was terrible and I was kept outside getting wet for around an hour and a half, I ended up very ill with a chest infection after this event. which was clearly avoidable and I was treated awful......very upsetting

Excellent vet practice. Reasonably priced and always very professional with friendly reception staff and nurses. Checked over my wee cat after I explained I was worried about his recent crazy behaviour and the vet put my mind at ease and explained everything. Have used Abbey vets Greenock a number of times now and wouldn't go anywhere else 👍

My wee dog was seen as an emergency following immunisation. Under the circumstances we were told to bring the dog in straight away. Full, thorough examination carried out immediately. Turns out my tiny dog is a Drama Queen but the vet was amazing and very understanding. Excellent service, care and attention from all of the staff. I was very concerned about me wee dog and so pleased that the surgery were able to squeeze her in straight away, without an appointment and when the surgery should have been closed! Huge thanks the Abbey Vets for such immediate attention and care for my dog.
