Thrums Veterinary Group – Vets in Scone
Clinic Overview
Thrums Veterinary Group says it is Scotland’s largest independent veterinary group, established in 1948, and provides care for pets, farm animals and equine. The group says it runs its own 24/7, 365 emergency and out-of-hours service rather than outsourcing it. Recent feedback for the Scone practice remains very positive, with owners often highlighting friendly staff, calm handling of nervous pets, compassionate support during difficult visits, and clear communication.
