Best Rated Veterinary Clinics in Dumbarton, Dunbartonshire
Top-ranked veterinary practices based on quality, service, and customer reviews
Vets for Pets is part of the Vets4Pets group and this branch has been operating since 2014. The clinic is set up as a small-animal practice with on-site facilities such as an in-house laboratory, operating theatre, hospital ward and isolation unit, alongside diagnostic imaging (X-ray and ultrasound). The website also states emergency cover is provided when the clinic is closed. In the latest reviews, owners describe help with a range of problems (injured paw, swallowed bone, phantom pregnancy, ear infections) and also mention end-of-life care, including a home visit described as calm and peaceful. Pricing is a recurring point of tension: multiple reviewers say medication/prescription costs feel high, including one example where ear drops were said to cost around a third of the clinic price online. There is also a serious negative account alleging a missed diagnosis with a £170 bill shortly before a dog died.

Glenbrae Veterinary Clinic is a long-established practice (reviewers mention using it for 25–30+ years) and is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. The clinic also offers 24/7 access to an online vet through its Pet Health Club Plus plan (as described on its website). Recent reviews most often highlight staff taking time to explain care and work patiently with anxious pets (including a large, nervous dog who initially wouldn’t enter the building but has since attended twice), alongside one brief 1‑star review that provides no details. A minority view mentions fees being “on the high side,” while another reviewer specifically notes “no hidden costs.”
