Vets in Banffshire | Scotland Veterinary Directory

Aberlour Veterinary Centre is part of Speyside Veterinary Practice, described on its website as a modern, fully equipped mixed practice with small animal, equine and farm animal departments, offering routine and emergency care (including a 24-hour emergency service). It’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. From the latest reviews, owners most often mention: - Emergency support (including evening/weekend situations), with cases like a puppy made unwell after eating part of a dummy and a dog seen urgently and treated with antibiotics. - Practical “next steps” help, such as reception staff helping sort insurance claims, and (in one emergency) staff phoning other practices to find help when the vet was tied up in surgery. - Treatment outcomes described quickly, e.g., a sore paw improving within two days after a vet visit and use of an e-collar (“lampshade”) for short-term protection. - Procedures booked promptly in at least one case (a broken tooth seen the same day and then tooth removal under general anaesthetic booked for the next day).

Seafield Veterinary Group offers routine and urgent veterinary care, and is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Its website references a Pet Health Club® Plus plan that includes consultations. Reviews describe a mixed experience: some owners report prompt help for sudden problems (for example, an itchy dog being seen and treated) and good follow-up after procedures (a next-day check-in call after dental work), while others raise concerns about pricing, consent, and feeling “sold” additional services. A couple of longer-term clients specifically mention a change after the practice was “taken over by a company” (no group name given). Concrete specifics mentioned by owners include: - Dental work, including tooth removals, with updates during the day and a follow-up call the next day. - Management of a suspected foreign-body ingestion with close monitoring until the effects of medication wore off. - End-of-life care experiences, including a home visit request and cremation arrangements (described positively by some and negatively by others).
