Vets in Highlands | Scotland Veterinary Directory

Easter Ross Vets is a multi-branch veterinary practice and an RCVS Cat Friendly Clinic, with a Veterinary Nurse Training facility listed in its clinic data. Reviews describe a mix of routine care and urgent/emergency presentations, including end-of-life support. Owners mention specific touches such as being given time alone during euthanasia, a sympathy card with wildflower seeds afterwards, and reception staff who are described as welcoming on the phone and in person. A smaller set of recent reviews describe serious concerns about communication around repeat medication, administrative handling of referrals/billing, and an alleged injury during mat shaving.

Easter Ross Vets is a multi-branch practice (as described on its website) offering routine appointments and emergency care (details not specified). The website also references proactive healthcare plans through a “Pet Health Club” and includes RCVS information. In the latest written reviews available to us, owners describe the practice handling both everyday care (health checks and injections) and more complex problems (cancer care and an eye ulcer), with multiple cat cases mentioned. Reviews also include a negative account involving a post-op wound/stitches issue followed by the owner being banned, which conflicts with other reports of excellent outcomes. Concrete specifics mentioned by reviewers include: - A general health review plus a “second injection” for a re-homed, nervous dog. - Treatment for a pet with cancer and an eye ulcer, with the owner reporting no lasting damage. - A cat described as having its life saved by the practice. - A complaint about a “minor op” where stitches reportedly ripped and left an open wound, and the client later being banned.

Johnston & Farrell is a veterinary practice with a main custom-built surgery and a branch surgery, and it states it provides 24-hour emergency care via its Tain surgery. The website also says consultations are by appointment, and that home visits are available if required. In the latest reviews available to us, owners commonly describe being seen quickly without feeling rushed, and several reviews specifically mention support around end-of-life decisions, including a vet coming to the home for a farewell visit. One recent review, however, alleges being told £1000 upfront was required before help could be provided in an urgent situation.

Johnston & Farrell describes itself as a modern, well‑equipped veterinary practice offering 24‑hour emergency care and home visits. Recent reviews frequently mention out‑of‑hours support that results in same‑day assessment and in‑clinic monitoring, including diagnostics such as blood tests and scans and treatment like a saline drip. One review also highlights a vet described as “supportive” and “honest.” Alongside the many positive experiences, there is also a 1‑star review with no written details, so the reason for dissatisfaction isn’t clear from the latest text we have.

Independently founded practice (set up in 2007 by vet Rhona Campbell). Based on its own service list and what owners describe in reviews, it covers a mix of companion animals and farm/equine work, and is used for both routine needs and urgent, same-day problems. Emergency care is stated as available out of hours. Concrete examples from recent reviews include: - Walk-in help for travel-related urgent issues (a dog’s injured paw) without a prior appointment. - Wound/claw injuries treated promptly, with owners given specific at-home aftercare instructions (e.g., how to change a dressing). - Surgery carried out on kittens, reported as problem-free afterwards. - Livestock support mentioned (help with a newborn lamb’s eye issue).
