Crown Vets Culloden

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). There’s also mention of an out‑of‑hours service and a care plan where costs and next steps were “laid out” clearly—though one review reports a strongly negative experience involving a nervous, muzzled dog and repeated suggestions of euthanasia.

Services

Services and capabilities mentioned include

•Consultations for cats and dogs, including monitoring concerns such as weight loss (weighing is specifically discussed in one review).
•Blood tests, with results/next steps discussed by phone.
•Prescriptions/medication supply, with at least one report of a prescription being ready “in mins”.
•Out-of-hours service (used “multiple times” by one reviewer).
•Care plan (described as good value, with costs and future requirements explained clearly).
•Support in end-of-life situations, with one owner describing staff being kind after the loss of a dog; another review alleges inappropriate pressure toward euthanasia for a nervous dog (see Reviews).

Reviews

Google rating: 4.7 stars from 110 reviews.

•Thorough handling and patience with larger/nervous dogs is mentioned (e.g., Scott with two GSDs).
•Follow-up communication is highlighted, including a vet calling to discuss blood test results and explain information clearly.
•Speed and efficiency show up in practical details like prescriptions ready within minutes.
•Clarity around costs and plans: one reviewer describes a care plan/out-of-hours use where no costs were a surprise and future requirements were explained.
•Conflicting experiences: while multiple reviews describe supportive care (including during pet loss), one review alleges repeated recommendations to euthanise a nervous, muzzled dog and feeling blamed rather than helped.

Recently I posted a review about my cat losing weight and how the vet forgot to weigh her saying the weight she was last time was what she was still. I realise this was just the vet forgetting to weigh her and an innocent oversight on her part. I was very upset as my cat had lost just over 800g after the vet weighed her.My review was an over reaction on my part. After my cat, Ivy had blood tests the vet,Tanya spoke to me on the phone and couldn't have been more kind or informative.Apologies to Tanya and thank you for being so lovely to me about Ivy.

I have been with Crown Vets for a long time with all of my cats and cannot recommend them highly enough. They are very accommodating, through both the good times and the difficult.

Writing for a friend Numerous occasions a friend of mine has been in with her dog (gsd) and been told she needs to be put down. She's a very nervous dog and wears a muzzle for everyone's safety and still gets accused of going to bite. She had a very bad experience on her very first visit and to me sounds like you have it in for my friend and her gorgeous girl. This is disgusting behaviour and vets should NOT be putting blame on anyone or making people feel useless YOU SHOULD HELP!

Fab vets, nurses and reception staff. We have recently lost one of our 3 dogs and the staff were so kind. We still have 2 more dogs and 3 cats with the practice and I highly recommend them. The prices are great in comparison with other vets in the area and I feel they genuinely have the animals best interests at heart unlike some other practices who are happy to make money from your unwell animal!! You won't be disappointed with this practice!

Always very friendly and excited to see my pet and he is always very well cared for, they give him treats while examining him and he feels very comfortable. The services they provide are also fantastic since buddy has required the out of hours service multiple times and the care plan is great value. no costs were a surprise to us and everything was layed out. all the processes and future requirements in the best interest of buddy's well being were explained very clearly and overall he's a very healthy puppy coming into adolescents and very happy to which I can attribute to the Culloden veterinary clinic.
