Dog & Cat Vets in Lanarkshire

Airdrie Vets4Pets Ltd is part of the Vets4Pets brand, and the clinic website describes it as a locally owned practice. It’s set up as a full-service small animal clinic with an in-house lab, imaging (digital X‑ray and ultrasound), a surgical theatre and separate dog/cat wards plus isolation. From the latest reviews available to us, owners most often describe: - Clear, detailed explanations of conditions and treatment plans (including discussing surgery risks and costs up front). - Proactive follow-up after procedures (e.g., a next-day phone call and multiple recheck appointments after a rabbit spay). - Support during end-of-life care (paw prints/fur kept as mementos and a condolence card; one reviewer says a clinician rearranged their day to enable an at-home passing despite the clinic not routinely offering home visits). - Being “squeezed in” when worried about a pet post-op. There’s also a conflicting note on cost/ethos: one recent reviewer criticises the practice for charging to scan a stray cat and alleges cost inflation, while other reviewers mention transparent pricing and “reasonable” fees.

Glasgow East PDSA Pet Hospital is part of PDSA (a charity veterinary provider) and, per its website, offers free and low‑cost veterinary care for pets in need. Reviews describe routine procedures such as cat neutering, with a focus on clear pre‑op explanations (including risks) and detailed post‑op instructions—down to pre-marking medication doses on a syringe. Owners also mention an online option for advice (e.g., sending a photo of an eye issue to avoid an in‑person visit). A recurring downside in the latest reviews is access/communication: one reviewer reports being unable to get through by phone after a long hold, and another describes being told their dog was not registered despite years of prior use.

Taylor Veterinary Practice Limited is a veterinary practice that also operates as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. Reviews point to long-term, ongoing care for chronic conditions (one owner specifically mentions diabetes treatment for their dog), with some owners describing smooth admin around PetPlan “life care” arrangements. Feedback is mixed on consistency and billing: one reviewer alleges opposite advice from different vets on a heart murmur, and describes a £49.50 charge being added to a later bill without an itemised breakdown until they asked.

Murray Veterinary Centre is a small-practice setup (no corporate group mentioned in the available information). Reviews repeatedly reference a vet called Martin and mention a change of ownership/management (“before Mr Foster took over”), suggesting continuity for long-standing clients but with a notable shift for at least one reviewer. Based on owner accounts, the practice appears geared toward general pet care plus surgery/operations, including seeing pets at short notice and being upfront about prognosis and costs ahead of procedures. Multiple reviewers describe “reasonable” costs, while one long-term client reports a poor experience with staff attitude and follow-up after pet loss, indicating a mixed picture on customer service. Concrete examples owners mention: - Short-notice appointment for a dog with a sore neck. - A dog operation where the vet was clear about the situation, and the operation was successful. - Long-term cat owners citing care over the years and consistent “reasonable” costs. - One report of being spoken to harshly for arriving early, and no condolence/follow-up after pets passed away.

Dermatology Referral Service Ltd is a specialist-led veterinary referral centre focused solely on skin and ear disease in cats, dogs and horses. The website names two dermatology specialists (Hilary Jackson and Christian Ortalda) working under one roof, and lists dedicated dermatology equipment and tests such as video-otoscopy and intradermal testing with immunotherapy. In the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly mention clear diagnosis and treatment planning (including one noting a diagnosis and treatment after a single consultation) and highlight interactions with Christian Ortalda and the wider team, including reception staff.

Four Paws Veterinary Clinic describes itself as an independent practice. The website lists a broad mix of general veterinary care plus rehabilitation and complementary options (laser therapy, physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, Chinese acupuncture, and herbal veterinary treatments), supported by on-site facilities like digital X‑ray, ultrasound, an in-house laboratory, a dental suite, and a full surgical operating suite, with separate dog and cat wards. From the latest reviews available, owners most often mention: - being seen at short notice, including for a senior cat on a busy date for vets - surgery access (one owner specifically mentions getting in quickly for spay surgery when other clinics had long waits) - vets taking a positive, problem-solving approach during a procedure that another clinic had described as difficult

Southside Veterinary Clinic describes itself as an independent practice, with same-day appointments and “cutting edge diagnostic and surgical facilities.” The clinic environment is repeatedly noted as being set up to reduce stress (the website offers fear-free appointments, and reviews mention a coffee bar/coffee shop and a more relaxed feel than a typical clinical setting). Reviews include multiple examples of surgery and aftercare (including a “major op,” and one account of dental surgery removing seven teeth) and support around difficult end-of-life decisions (owners describing being able to stay with their pet and a “quick and painless” euthanasia process). Feedback is not fully consistent: alongside many accounts of clear explanations and compassionate handling, one recent 1‑star review alleges missed warning signs over multiple visits that preceded a dog’s death.

Condorrat Veterinary Surgery describes itself as an independent, small practice that has been providing care for sick and injured animals for over 25 years. Recent reviews mention thorough, unhurried consultations (including a “last appointment of the night” that still involved time to listen and explain) and surgery aftercare (a pet recovering after back/flank surgery and treatment for a sore foot). A couple of reviewers raise policy/admin concerns: one describes being told flea/worm treatment wouldn’t be supplied without a paid health check (£57) and another describes a dispute about who can authorise record release.

Queens Crescent Veterinary Clinic is a general small‑animal practice that also operates as a veterinary nurse training facility and offers emergency veterinary services. Recent reviews describe care for cats, dogs, and small pets including guinea pigs, with repeated mentions of thorough examinations, diagnostic testing, and clear explanations (for example, work‑ups for pancreatitis and hyperthyroidism). Several owners describe getting appointments quickly for urgent issues (a limping dog seen on a Saturday morning; a cancerous lump assessed and then removed within days). One reviewer reports a negative experience around pricing, including a quoted price changing and feeling pushed toward paid tests.

Julie Innes Veterinary Surgery offers appointments for consultations and is also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Reviews describe care for both dogs and cats, including planned surgery (spaying) and longer-term support for serious illness (terminal cancer), as well as end‑of‑life appointments where the vet explained what would happen step by step. Experiences with the front desk are mixed: some owners describe reception staff as “wonderful,” while others report rude communication and extra trips required for registration paperwork. One reviewer also raises repeated problems getting insurance paperwork handled without chasing.
