I find Dan an exceptional Vet with wonderful communication skills. In my experience he has such a calm manner, is just lovely whether he deals with my dogs or guinea pigs!! Never tries to rush us and i will never ever forget his kindness when our beloved dog Bindi died of a brain stem tumour......💔

One of my rabbits became very unwell suddenly so was rushed in. She was examined thoroughly, Necessary tests were run quickly and supportive treatment started. I was offered referral to the exotic specialist vets for further investigation. Sadly Evie was too unwell and deteriorated very fast despite everyone’s best efforts. Thank you to the vets for all their help ❤️

Undecided for a positive review my rescue rabbit has still got GI stasis which is a life threatening illness if not treated aggressively to begin with, I was told to take her home after a series of injections ( no glucose test offered which is paramount for severity of stasis) within hours had to rush her back as her gut at the sides had bloated with gas hugely which is extremely painful for rabbits in stasis, her temp was cold which means she is going into shock the vet tried to hydrate her for a few hours but struggled getting a line in, still sent her home even though no progression on eating no urine or fecal output either, glucose test done on 2nd visit which was extremely high! I’m looking after her round the clock care still etc I was asked to update the next day ( which I did) no response to my update whatsoever from the vet I had to call to get more medication. Not rabbit savvy at all my stars go to the lovely reception staff.

Staff very helpful and friendly. Unfortunately had to have my dog pts but they let us have extra time for cuddles after she passed away, lady from reception told my 6 yo daughter they will take a good care of our dog and that she's now over the rainbow bridge and she's looking down on her from the sky. Thank you.

I’ll forever be grateful for the team at Vets4pets Kirkcaldy for saving my little Bagels life. The team always treat him like one of their own, they explain everything so thoroughly to me and answer all of my silly questions with such kindness and understanding. Bagel gets super excited going to the vets because the team make such a fuss over him, I couldn’t recommend a vet practice enough 💖

I don’t normally leave reviews but after leaving such a lasting impression I thought it would only be right too. We visited last week with my daughters new kitten. We were greeted by I think her name was Steph. A lovely girl on reception with short hair and tattoos. She couldn’t have been more helpful! Introduced us to free insurance for a few weeks and also a brilliant plan which we signed up too. She looked extremely busy on her own but made sure to focus on us and ask to take any calls politely if they came through. With us being new pet owners she was brilliant and very knowledgeable and If she didn’t know the answer to anything she made sure to check with the vet and was very honest that she wasn’t clinical but said she would make sure to get the information we needed. We honestly came away so pleased and also at ease. We also met the vet Isabella who was just wonderful! You could tell both ladies really cared for our pet and were just such kind people in general. We are so pleased after coming away that we chose this vets. Both ladies a true asset to this team. Thank you for making my daughter and I feel so welcomed.
