Albavet Burntisland is part of Albavet Veterinary Surgeons and is owned by CVS. It offers a broad small-animal service, from routine consultations and preventive care through to surgery, with on-site diagnostic support including an in-house lab, X-ray and ultrasound. The practice also lists care for a wide range of species beyond dogs and cats, including small mammals, reptiles and tortoises, and many types of birds. Recent feedback is mostly positive about the standard of care and grooming, with some frustration around flea-treatment policy and one comment that the premises look a little run down.
