Emergency Vets in Lanarkshire

Pets ’n’ Vets is part of Linnaeus Veterinary Ltd and is presented on its website as a network of practices. The service list suggests it’s set up for routine care (health checks, vaccines, parasite treatment) as well as more advanced options such as laparoscopic spay (“keyhole” neutering), orthopaedic/soft tissue surgery, cardiology, physiotherapy, and outpatient advanced imaging (CT/MRI). In the latest reviews available to us, owners most often describe clear explanations and advice, and staff taking time to settle nervous puppies during appointments.

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”.

Glasgow Equine Hospital and Practice is a university-affiliated equine referral hospital alongside a general practice. The website positions it for complex investigations and referral work (including MRI study, diagnostic imaging, internal medicine, surgery and lameness), while also offering routine equine services like preventative healthcare and pre-purchase examinations. It also states 24/7 emergency cover is available for registered clients. Review signals are mixed: several owners describe horses being well looked after and vets explaining findings and prognosis in plain language, but one reviewer (posting the same 1‑star account twice) alleges serious problems around estimates, payment expectations and being charged emergency fees, while still praising a named vet and the grooms for the horse’s care.

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.

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).

Paisley Phoenix Vets4Pets is part of the Vets4Pets network and is described on its website as a locally owned practice, with an owner-vet listed (Alemu Shewakena). The clinic presents itself as set up for a wide range of routine and surgical care, with facilities like an operating theatre, in-house lab, hospital ward, and separated cat/dog waiting and ward areas. From the latest reviews available to us, experiences are mixed: several owners describe helpful, question-friendly staff and routine care like nail trims going smoothly, while others report serious concerns about communication, handling, and costs—especially around emergency-style appointments, medication charges, and billing consistency. Euthanasia support is described very differently by different reviewers (both “peaceful” and “cold/transactional”). Concrete specifics mentioned: - Separate cat & dog waiting areas, and separated cat/dog wards and isolation units (website). - In-house laboratory plus imaging such as digital x-ray and ultrasound (website). - Surgical services including castration (review) and orthopaedic procedures like cruciate surgery and fracture repair (website). - Out-of-hours emergencies are directed to a Vets Now Hospital service (website).
