Albavet Burntisland

Albavet Burntisland is part of the Albavet Veterinary Surgeons practice and offers a broad small‑animal service mix: routine consults and parasite control through to surgery, with on-site diagnostic support (in‑house lab, X‑ray and ultrasound). The website also lists care for a wide range of species beyond dogs and cats (including small mammals, reptiles/tortoises, and many types of birds). Review comments are mixed on policies around parasite treatment: one owner reports being refused flea treatment without a full check-up because their dog hadn’t been seen in a year, while others describe staff taking time to listen to concerns and long-term use for cats. Grooming is repeatedly mentioned positively, alongside one comment that the premises look “run down and shabby.”
