So glad that I signed on with Strathspey Vets in Aviemore as soon as we moved to the area. They are a fantastic team. All very welcoming and all go the extra mile. Our dog Ted was once very nervous of going to the vet because of an earlier incident but he loves visiting the Aviemore surgery and sees it as a lovely outing nowadays.

The team at Strathspey Vets were very helpful to us. We first contacted the emergency after-hours line and were provided with the right guidance and support over the phone. The next day we visited the Aviemore branch in person and the attending vet was thorough and really took the time to understand the pre existing issue of our pet and provided a very good interim solution. Highly recommend Strathspey for anyone who needs to see a vet in an emergency or for normal checkups.

Took great care of my kitten Cheeky today gave her a thorough check up, even though she wouldn't get out of the cat box. We had to take the lid off. Explained what was happening through out the process.

Whilst on holiday in Aviemore, our adopted disabled Dachshund Tarsha developed early signs of a UTI. As UTIs and disabled dogs can be tricky to manage and treat, we didn't want to wait until we returned home for Tarsha to see a vet. As the practice was closed, I decided to message the Strathspey Veterinary Centre Aviemore at 8 am with a view to phoning them at 9 am when they opened. I was pleasantly surprised and thankful that Cameron emailed me back within 20 minutes (before their opening hours) to inform me they would be able to see Tarsha that day 🙏🏻. He sent me a link to register her and a link to book a convenient appointment slot online. So, within 40 minutes or so of first contacting the practice, Tarsha was all booked in. The practice is light and so welcoming. Every member of staff we met was lovely and really helped Tarsha settle. Jo the vet was super helpful and gentle with Tarsha. After a thorough examination Jo, as suspected, diagnosed a UTI and medicine was dispensed accordingly. Can't thank the team enough for getting us in so quickly today; we were so relieved that Tarsha was seen. Thankfully meds have already kicked in. As we visit this area 4 to 5 times every year we're so happy that we have found a vet that we can trust. Would recommend. THANK YOU FROM GAVIN AND TARSHA

We're new to the area and have already visited after Ted the dog hurt himself. I admit I was concerned that this is not an independent vet. However, I am completely won over by the facilities, the expertise of the vets and the lovely welcome we get. When you have an animal that previously had to have sedation to go to the vet and now have a dog who goes in willingly and is relaxed and happy to be examined you know you've made the right choice.
