MacLellan Vets Eastgate

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.
