Linnaeus Veterinary Ltd trading as Pets ’n’ Vets is part of a wider network of veterinary practices, with “The Roundhouse” repeatedly referenced in recent client reviews. Based on the clinic’s own service list, it’s set up for both routine care (vaccinations, neutering, parasite prevention) and more advanced work (orthopaedic surgery, cardiology, CT/MRI imaging, physiotherapy), alongside veterinary nurse clinics and being a veterinary nurse training facility. Decision-relevant details owners mention include: - Out-of-hours emergency help described as calm and attentive after a dog injury. - Clear pricing communication, with one owner saying costs were explained before proceeding. - Fast test turnaround and follow-up, including same-day blood test results and a vet phone call to explain them in detail. - A larger waiting area noted as helpful for avoiding stressful pet-to-pet encounters.

Rouken Glen Veterinary Surgery operates from a modern facility with an on-site operating theatre and diagnostic imaging (digital X‑ray and ultrasound). The practice offers routine care through to complex surgeries, and runs a “Healthy Pet Club” that includes annual vaccinations and regular parasite treatment delivered monthly. Reviewers repeatedly describe being accommodated quickly for urgent problems (for example, being taken in immediately to remove broken glass from a dog’s paw) and mention compassionate support during end-of-life visits. One reviewer explicitly notes moving here from a “big company” chain, suggesting this is an independently run practice (no corporate group is named in the available information).

Glenbrae Veterinary Clinic Ltd is a veterinary practice that also operates as a veterinary nurse training facility. Based on the latest reviews available to us, owners most often describe efficient, friendly front-desk handling and vets who take time to explain diagnoses and treatments—though a couple of reviews report poor communication and dissatisfaction with decision-making and aftercare. Concrete examples owners mention include being seen “at such short notice,” being shown straight into a private room for a dog-reactive dog, and surgical care ranging from rabbit spaying to bladder stone removal (with very different views on how well the case was handled).

Avondale Veterinary Group provides routine and emergency care for small animals and equine, with on-site equine facilities for hospitalisation and intensive care (including intensive care). The website also references farm work, and notes the practice has operated since 1921 from purpose-built premises opened in 2009. Reviews most often describe clear communication and flexibility around appointments (including rescheduling when a cat wouldn’t go into a carrier), plus gentle handling in sensitive situations (including end-of-life care). The practice website also states it works with Thistle Referral services as a “group partner.”

East End Vets describes itself as an independent clinic, and its website notes it sees dogs, cats and rabbits. Reviews back up an “independent practice” feel, with owners mentioning detailed problem-solving for complex illness (including blood tests and multi‑medication treatment) and a pet plan that one reviewer calls “great value.” A rescue-dog owner also notes the clinic was recommended by their charity, suggesting it’s used by rehoming organisations. Concrete examples from the latest reviews include: - Managing a very unwell dog with a large abscess/mucocele using blood testing and three injections (antibiotic, pain relief and anti‑inflammatory), after another vet had advised euthanasia. - Registration and ongoing care for both rescue dogs and long-term clients.
