Dog & Cat Vets in Fife

Albavet Dunfermline is an RCVS-accredited general practice with Cat Friendly Clinic (Silver) status, set up for routine care through to more complex work (it lists in-house lab testing plus X‑ray and ultrasound, and offers orthopaedic and soft-tissue surgery referral services). It also treats a wide range of species beyond dogs and cats, including rabbits and exotic pets (reptiles, tortoises, birds and backyard poultry are all listed). From the latest reviews, owners most often describe: - taking urgent cases even when the team is already busy, and staying on to make sure questions are answered (a cat that became suddenly unwell; an emergency rabbit visit); - a “personal touch” around difficult moments (for example, sending a condolence card after a pet died); - practical owner education, including a first-aid event with hands-on elements and take-home materials. There is also a clear split in feedback about money and accountability: several reviewers say they weren’t pushed into unnecessary spend, while one reviewer alleges mistakes and that the practice wouldn’t take responsibility.

Provost Veterinary Group is an established small-animal practice (trading under its current name since 1999, with an earlier predecessor practice name dating back to the early 1980s). It’s set up to handle routine care as well as urgent cases: multiple recent reviewers describe being accommodated for same-day emergencies, including one case where a dog was seen urgently despite not being registered. The clinic also offers a Pet Health Club® Plus plan (the website notes consultations are included) and mentions “Video Vet”. Owners most often describe practical, confidence-building details such as staff keeping a close watch after a suspected ingestion, arranging overnight stays when needed, and handling a difficult-to-treat wounded cat calmly using treats and voice. One recent review alleges serious miscommunication around a poisoning case; this sits in tension with many positive emergency-care accounts.

Vetrica Ltd is a veterinary clinic operating since 2001, and it also functions as a veterinary nurse training facility. The clinic’s own information emphasises a “personal touch” and preventative care, and it lists dogs, cats and rabbits as species it treats. Recent reviews most often mention a clean clinic environment and clear explanations—especially around difficult end‑of‑life decisions—but there is also a strongly negative account about care for a pet rat, including concerns about the exam process, choice of antibiotic, and lack of follow‑up communication. Concrete specifics owners mention include: - End‑of‑life care for a cat where the vet “didn’t rush the process,” explained what would happen, and offered time before/after euthanasia. - A paw print and a small keepsake bottle of fur provided after euthanasia (mentioned as meaningful to the owner). - Cleanliness of the clinic being explicitly noted. - One detailed complaint describing a rat UTI visit where the owner felt samples weren’t reviewed, the pet was placed on the floor during the exam, and promised call‑backs didn’t happen.

St Clair Veterinary Clinics Ltd describes itself as a British Small Animal Veterinary Association (BSAVA)-approved practice and an Approved Training Centre certified by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) (per its website). From the latest reviews, it appears set up for routine consultations and surgical care, including dentistry and emergency procedures—one owner’s appointment was delayed because their vet was in emergency surgery, and another mentions post-op updates about their pet’s condition. Owners most often point to thorough vets who explain clearly (e.g., staff checking that clients understood and had questions answered), a clean/comfortable environment, and follow-up communication after an operation. A recurring trade-off mentioned is cost (some call it “pricey/higher than most”), and one reviewer reports a negative experience with reception/accounts handling of billing accuracy despite being happy with the veterinary care.

Inglis Vets Care and Save describes caring for pets for over 50 years and states that emergencies are covered 24 hours a day. The practice is also a veterinary nurse training facility, and multiple owners mention being seen by students during consultations and routine care. From recent reviews, owners most often describe thorough explanations during appointments (including being talked through checks during a consultation) and supportive handling of end‑of‑life visits, including a handwritten sympathy card after a pet’s death. There is also a contrasting complaint about a nail trim done by a student without the owner being asked first, resulting in a cut and bleeding and confusion over whether the nail trim would be charged.

Kingdom Veterinary Clinic describes itself as a long-established, independent practice and notes RCVS accreditation. The website and reviews together suggest a clinic geared to general practice with in-house capability for routine and advanced surgery, dentistry, anaesthesia, and diagnostic imaging, and it treats a wide range of species (dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, other small pets, and exotics). Recent reviewers repeatedly mention unrushed appointments (vets “take their time” for health checks and vaccinations) and staff discussing treatment options. A minority report a different experience at reception, with one long-term client describing extended waits without communication and saying counter-staff service has declined.

Albavet Dalgety Bay is part of the Albavet Veterinary Surgeons group and is set up as a small-animal practice with on-site diagnostics (in-house lab, X-ray and ultrasound) plus routine and surgical care. The practice also offers emergency support during normal opening hours, with out-of-hours emergencies referred to Vets Now. From the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly mention: - specific staff members being “brilliant” with young dogs (a “baby cockapoo” is mentioned by name) - a clinic layout that includes a separate cat area to reduce stress - thorough check-ups and practical, ongoing advice for older dogs - routine booster appointments paired with a “VIP check-up” being described as smooth and well-run

Lomond Hills Veterinary Clinic is a small-animal practice that also states it provides emergency veterinary services and is a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews describe a clinic that focuses on working problems up rather than defaulting to broad treatments—for example, one owner reports their dog’s long-running ear trouble was investigated with ear swabs and treated with antibiotic drops (they specifically note no steroids or antihistamines were used), with a marked improvement afterwards. Other owners mention the team helping them keep on top of routine care (vaccines and dewormers) and taking time during consultations to keep nervous dogs settled (talking to and handling pets gently throughout injections).

Cameron & Greig is a long‑established veterinary practice that, based on its own site, treats pets as well as equine and farm animals (cattle and sheep). The practice lists facilities including operating theatres, an in‑house laboratory, ultrasound, x‑ray and a pharmacy. In the latest reviews, owners most often describe clear explanations about their pet’s health and repeatedly mention “reasonable” or “fair” pricing; several also reference long-term use over 10–12+ years. One practical detail from reviews: at least some operations require taking pets to their Milnathort branch.

Wilson & Partners is an independent veterinary practice, established in 1926 and owned and run by vets working in the team. Based on the clinic’s own information, it’s set up for general medical and surgical care with on-site diagnostics (including digital x-ray, ultrasound, an in-house lab, and dental x-ray facilities), plus home visits and end-of-life care. From the latest reviews available to us, owners most often mention being able to get an appointment within a couple of days, feeling reassured by reception staff, and consultations that don’t feel rushed (including a detailed small-pet appointment described as lasting around half an hour or more). One reviewer also specifically describes signing up online to the clinic’s health plan and using it for check-ups, parasite treatment, and nail clipping.
