Clinic Overview

Paisley Vets4Pets Ltd is a Vets4Pets practice (the Vets4Pets website describes practices as “locally owned”) and is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Based on recent reviews, it appears set up for ongoing routine care as well as more complex, long-term cat cases (regular reviews, multi-medication management, and vets “researching different treatments” and liaising with other specialists for advice). Multiple owners also describe being seen quickly for urgent problems (same-day emergency appointment mentioned) and compassionate end-of-life care, though one review raises a serious concern about cost discussions and euthanasia being suggested, and another mentions waiting-room management issues during a euthanasia visit.

People

Named team members mentioned positively in reviews

  • Alistair (vet): described by long-term clients as “amazing,” with one owner saying they’ve attended for over 10 years and recommending “Alistair and his team.”
  • Joana (vet): repeatedly highlighted as “attentive and kind,” and as someone who knows a cat’s medical history well; one owner says she independently researched treatment options and was honest about likely outcomes.
  • Katie (vet) and Shannon (vet): mentioned alongside Joana as knowing two cats “inside and out,” researching options, and being straightforward about outcomes.
  • Andrea (reception): named positively as part of the reception team.
  • Reception team (generally): several owners describe reception staff as helpful, considerate, knowledgeable, and supportive during urgent visits and ongoing care.

Reviews

Google rating: 4.7 stars from 476 reviews.

  • Strong cat-focused continuity of care: multiple owners describe years of routine care and ongoing support for cats with diagnosed conditions, including regular reviews and medication management.
  • Clear explanations and communication: owners mention vets explaining what they found and what might be needed, answering questions, and providing results “as soon as they’re available.”
  • Urgent access when needed: more than one review describes emergency appointments for cats being accommodated quickly, with thorough examinations.
  • End-of-life care praised, but environment criticised: one owner found the vet “lovely and compassionate” during euthanasia, but felt the waiting area was loud and that dogs were able to roam into the cat area during a very difficult visit.
  • Cost/euthanasia dispute and complaint handling: one reviewer alleges they were steered toward euthanasia because treatment would be expensive and says a payment plan wasn’t offered; they also state the practice terminated them after they complained. This conflicts with other reviews describing the team as focused on the animal’s best care and being supportive during emergencies.
