Emergency Vets in Lanarkshire

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.

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.

Real Vets Limited describes itself as a fully independent, locally owned practice, with “over 40 years” of providing veterinary care (per its website). Based on the structured clinic data and reviews, it appears set up for both routine care and urgent problems, with emergency veterinary services listed and at least one reviewer describing receiving help when they contacted reception “in emergency” about their dog. Recent feedback is mixed on service delivery: several long-term clients describe consistent support (including end-of-life empathy and a condolence card), while others report communication and admin issues (missed medication call-backs; surprise admin charges; feeling rushed in consults). Concrete specifics owners mention include: help in an emergency phone contact and registering a dog quickly; surgery to remove and test lumps (with a deposit taken beforehand); follow-up/aftercare gestures like a condolence card after a pet’s death; and complaints about delays, rushed appointments, and medication/refill communication failures.

Linnaeus Veterinary Ltd (trading as Pets ’n’ Vets) is part of the Pets ’n’ Vets network of practices and promotes a “progressive outlook” on its website. The service mix described online goes beyond routine vaccinations and neutering, listing advanced options like laparoscopic (“keyhole”) spay and access to advanced imaging (CT/MRI), alongside nurse-led clinics and longer-term health plans. From the latest reviews available to us, owners commonly mention friendly, polite staff and feeling reassured after appointments (including a puppy visit where the owner “left reassured that everything was okay”). One recent review conflicts sharply with this, describing delayed blood-test results after repeated chasing, a same-day spay cancellation after several hours of waiting due to emergency operations, and what the reviewer felt was rude communication and high cost.

Pets ’n’ Vets is part of Linnaeus Veterinary Ltd (a wider network of practices). Based on its published service list, it’s set up for routine primary care (health checks, vaccines, parasite control, microchipping) as well as more advanced work such as orthopaedic/soft-tissue surgery, cardiology, and outpatient advanced imaging (CT/MRI). In the latest reviews available to us, owners most often describe a team that explains options clearly, handles stressed or reactive pets during exams/injections, and can sometimes fit in urgent appointments even when busy. One reviewer also notes they’re told costs upfront and are sometimes advised when a treatment could be obtained cheaper elsewhere.

Pets ’n’ Vets is part of Linnaeus Veterinary Ltd (a wider network of practices). Based on the website and clinic data, it’s set up for routine preventative care (health checks, vaccinations, parasite treatment), ongoing support for older pets and pain management, and access to more advanced procedures via the wider group (the site references specialties such as orthopaedic/soft tissue surgery, cardiology, physiotherapy and CT/MRI, and one reviewer says major surgery is done at the group’s Roundhouse hospital). From the latest reviews available to us, owners most often describe: - Fast access to appointments when worried (e.g., one dog with pain was seen within about 2 hours; a sick cat was offered an appointment the next day). - Practical help and clear handover of information (e.g., lending a cat carrier and providing medication + instructions to the person caring for the cat). - Questions being answered in detail, including around longer-term issues (one owner mentions a pet with a heart murmur and being able to ask questions). The website also states Cat Friendly Clinic and Rabbit Friendly Clinic status.

Bearsden Vets4Pets Ltd is part of the Vets for Pets group and presents itself as a modern, well‑equipped practice with formal accreditations (RCVS accredited and ISFM Cat Friendly). The clinic appears set up for routine and surgical care with on‑site diagnostics (in‑house lab, digital X‑ray and ultrasound) and cat/dog separation in both waiting and ward areas. In the latest reviews, owners most often describe supportive end‑of‑life care (including a “peaceful send off” and staff staying gentle and present throughout) and vets who adjust handling for nervous pets (e.g., a “calming slow gentle approach” with a nervous guinea pig).

Real Vets Limited describes itself as an independent, locally owned practice with over 40 years of providing veterinary care. In the latest reviews available to us, owners most often talk about support during end‑of‑life care (including euthanasia) and clear explanations when pets arrive in distress (one review mentions an elderly dog with a torn cruciate ligament being talked through options). Reviews also show a mixed experience around aftercare/communication, with one owner upset that cremation arrangements required upfront payment and saying this wasn’t clearly explained at the time. Concrete specifics mentioned by owners include: - Staff guiding owners through euthanasia and preparing them for what to expect. - A vet calmly explaining treatment options for a torn cruciate ligament. - Discussion of cremation/ashes arrangements, including a report that cremation needed paying upfront before collection.
