Dog & Cat Vets in Lanarkshire

Firstvets Bearsden is part of the Firstvets group (not described as independent in the available information). Based on the services and case types mentioned, it handles routine consults alongside referrals and urgent, same-day problems. Reviews describe vets taking time to explain options (including a weight-loss plan without pushing prescription diet food), fitting in last‑minute and emergency appointments, and seeing a range of pets (including guinea pigs). A small number of reviewers report the opposite experience: feeling pressured into expensive medication without full investigation, inconsistent continuity of seeing the same vet, and an appointment-cancellation/charging dispute.

Shedden Vets Ltd is a general veterinary practice that also operates as a veterinary nurse training facility and offers emergency veterinary services (listed as 24/7 or extended hours). Recent reviews repeatedly mention support for anxious pets (nervous dogs and stressed cats), plus clear explanations of assessment and treatment options to help owners make informed decisions. Owners also describe being able to get an emergency appointment for issues like an ear infection, and having procedures explained step-by-step (for example, when a dog split a nail). One long-term client notes the practice continued to meet expectations after a change in ownership following the retirement of “Mr Tague”.

Pet Therapy (Westacre Pets Ltd) is listed under the company name Westacre Pets Ltd, but we don’t have enough information in the provided data to confirm whether it’s part of a larger corporate veterinary group or operating independently. We also weren’t given any website summary, service list, or written reviews in the inputs, so we can’t reliably describe what this clinic is set up for (for example, routine care vs. surgery, imaging, dentistry, or out-of-hours arrangements) based on evidence.

Dedicated Pet Care Clinic is a veterinary clinic, but the information provided here doesn’t include any details from its website (such as facilities, case types, or policies) and doesn’t include any Google rating, review count, or written reviews. Because of that, it isn’t possible to summarise what the clinic is set up for (for example, routine preventive care vs. surgery/diagnostics vs. urgent cases), whether it’s independently run or part of a corporate group, or what pet owners most often mention about their experiences.

Veterinary Centre is a general veterinary practice that (per clinic data) is a veterinary nurse training facility and offers emergency veterinary services (the website directs owners to an “Emergencies” section for details). Recent reviews most often describe a practice that can fit in appointments quickly when needed, with a team (reception, nurses and vets) that communicates clearly and handles pets gently. Owners also mention practical touches like on-site parking, and one reviewer notes receiving a sympathy card after their dog was put to sleep.

Veterinary Vision provides a dedicated veterinary ophthalmology referral service, with “state-of-the-art operating facilities” described on its website. Recent reviews frequently mention eye-focused surgery and follow-on treatment (including cataract surgery, ulcer treatment, and eyelid/skin procedures aimed at preventing future ulcers). Owners also describe clear explanations from vets and nurses, and prompt treatment after referral; several reviews highlight reception support for nervous pets. One review strongly disputes pricing transparency and follow-up costs after cataract surgery, describing unexpected additional charges and a prescription fee.

Kintra Vet offers both in-clinic appointments and home visits, with the website highlighting home treatment for nervous animals, rescue pets, and pets too unwell to travel. Based on the services listed and the latest reviews, the practice is particularly set up for at-home end-of-life care: multiple owners describe vets coming to the home for euthanasia, taking time before anaesthesia, and supporting families through the decision. Reviews also mention practical extras around this service, such as coordinating an individual cremation with another company and allowing time for goodbyes (including other pets in the household). Ownership (independent vs corporate group) isn’t stated in the information provided.

Ark Veterinary Clinics Ltd (founded 1994) treats dogs and cats as well as a wide range of exotic pets (the website specifically mentions reptiles, birds and small mammals, and says two vets have extensive experience with exotic species). It’s also described as a veterinary nurse training facility—reviews mention “students” being involved. Based on recent reviews, the clinic is commonly used for: - Exotic-pet care and referrals, with owners describing thorough examinations and time spent discussing next steps. - Chronic pain/mobility support, including acupuncture mentioned for a sore back. - Planned dental work, including phased dental treatment with follow-up communication. Feedback is mostly very positive, but there are also sharp complaints about costs, front-desk attitude, and one allegation of neglect involving a guinea pig—so experiences appear mixed for at least some owners.

Clyde Veterinary Group is a mixed practice (pets, farm animals and horses) established in 2003, with a hospital and branch surgeries, and it states it provides a 24/7 onsite and ambulatory emergency service. It’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility and holds Silver Accreditation with Investors in the Environment (iiE). Recent reviews focus on practical, decision-relevant experiences: being able to get appointments when needed, getting reminders for vaccinations/worming, and supportive end-of-life care (including keepsakes like paw prints/fur and a condolence card). Owners also describe the team adapting handling for nervous pets and keeping waits brief to reduce stress.

Clyde Veterinary Group is a mixed practice (established in 2003) providing care for pets as well as farm animals and horses. The website states they run a 24/7 onsite and ambulatory emergency service, suggesting they’re set up for both routine work and urgent call-outs across species. In the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly describe thorough consultations (including “very thorough with checks”), a decision-making style that focuses on listening and advice rather than pressure (“never once pushing one thing or another”), and calm handling for anxious pets (patience noted with a “very nervous dog”). The practice also notes Silver Accreditation with Investors in the Environment (iiE).
