We had a near miss car accident two months ago, which made our dog paraplegic. If wasn't for the quick answer of the ladies at Crown Vets, I don't know if she would be walking again as she is. They've put a lot of efford in finding a late appointment for her at the vet hospital, and made everything they could to make such harsh experience, the easiest to deal with. Highly recommend this place.

My dog was on holiday and had done a lot of walking on gravel paths which had aggravated his pads. He was constantly licking it to make it better. Rang Crown and asked if I could buy a plastic cone to go round his head to prevent him licking it. They obliged. 2 days later he was back to normal, so THANK YOU VERY MUCH Crown! Sterling job much appreciated x

I have been using Crown Vets for 15 years. They always provide a fantastic service. They will always look at ways to keep costs down. We have used them for our dogs, cats , chickens and snakes. They are experts in a large variety of animals. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a vet in Fort William.

Having just moved to a local village our dog needed a new vet. We took our very nervous 7 year old bull mastiff today, she was the best she has ever been during a vets appointment. The receptionists, and nurses were lovely, and extremely accommodating. The vet Mark was wonderful, he went above and beyond to ensure our dog was comfortable, got to know him, and explained all of the information we required in detail. One happy dog, and family thank you so much again, we can't recommend Crown Vets in Fort William enough.

Took our dog here after she got something in her eye whilst on the beach on holiday. All the staff who dealt with us were friendly and professional. We were seen really quickly considering that we were a walk in with no appointment. The Vet was very thorough in her examination and was courteous and professional throughout the consultation. After having had a dog who suffered from eye ulcers we were fully aware of how eye examinations are carried out and what they should entail and were happy with the extent the vet went to. She used what we call the 'Hulk Eye' green dye to locate two small scratches on the eyeball, that we had missed when originally flushing the eye. Her diagnosis and treatment were spot on. Her instructions for continuing treatment were clear and concise. We were wholly satisfied with our visit to this vets and would recommend them without hesitation.
