Featured Clinic Overview
- •Clear explanations and time for questions: several owners mention the vet explaining everything and answering questions during visits. - Responsiveness for urgent issues: one owner reports getting an appointment within two hours for a dog that suddenly couldn’t use his back legs, followed by medication and advice on follow-up with their usual vet. - Practical follow-through: sharing case information with a pet’s regular vet is specifically mentioned; so is a call to confirm acceptance of a temporary registration fee before the visit.

MacLellan Vets Eastgate is described as an independent, family-run veterinary practice. It appears set up for routine care and common procedures, with owners specifically mentioning spaying and help with tick removal (including tricky areas near the eye and jawline). Reviews also highlight practical touches like a “beautiful new waiting room,” and several people mention cost transparency and “reasonable costs.” A recurring trade-off is waiting: one recent reviewer reported a 45-minute wait due to how busy reception and the team were.

Crown Vets Culloden
Inverness
Our Score (80/100)
Crown Vets Culloden is a veterinary practice that’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Reviews most often describe practical, day-to-day care (cats and dogs) with examples including blood tests followed by a phone call to discuss results, prescriptions prepared within minutes, and staff helping with handling/logistics (e.g., a nurse walking a dog in for an owner due to icy conditions).
