Best Vets in Lanarkshire

Elite Vet Group is an independent veterinary clinic (no corporate group named in the available information) offering a broad mix of preventative care, medical workups and surgery, with in-house diagnostics (lab work, X‑ray and ultrasound). The website lists emergency vet services, and reviews describe the team stepping in immediately for an emergency even when they were only open for another procedure at the time. Owners also repeatedly mention clear explanations before procedures, including allowing an owner to be present to comfort their pet as anaesthetic was given. Surgical problem-solving comes up in reviews, including a dog with a “corkscrew tail and skin pocket” with severe infections where owners say the clinic helped avoid euthanasia.

Animal A+E is a privately owned mixed veterinary practice (owner named on the website as Gary Stevenson). The clinic is set up for a wide range of species—small animals, equine, farm animals, wildlife and exotics—with private consultation rooms and “state-of-the-art treatment facilities” stated on its website. It also says it provides its own out-of-hours emergency care and call-out service, including video consultations to help decide whether an immediate response is needed or if the pet can be seen the next day. From the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly mention: - Clear explanations during treatment, including being “talked through everything” during a procedure. - Support around end-of-life care, including a sympathy card sent two days after euthanasia. - Treatment of exotic/small pets, including a cockatiel with egg-binding and guinea pig care. - Handling of nervous/reactive dogs in a way that left the pet calmer during the visit.

Martin Veterinary Centre Ltd provides care for cats, dogs and a range of small pets (including rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets and hamsters), with services on its site including orthopaedics, ultrasound and echocardiography, plus acupuncture. Owners most often mention smooth, on-time appointments and staff making stressful visits easier (including a review describing a gentle, sympathetic euthanasia for a hamster). The practice also offers online booking and Pet Health Club® plans (including a “Plus” plan that states unlimited consultations and 24/7 access to an online vet). One recent review reports a negative change in phone service and longer appointment waits “since they have been bought over,” which contrasts with other reviews praising helpful reception and efficient scheduling.

Avenues Veterinary Group describes itself as an independent small-animal practice (not part of a corporate group) and also operates as a veterinary nurse training facility. The website highlights ongoing investment in diagnostic and treatment facilities, and owners mention in reviews that the practice does in-house surgery and blood tests. Recent reviews include practical details such as same-day appointments on short notice, clear medication instructions, and care for a range of pets including kittens (vaccinations/jabs), dogs (including gastroenteritis management), cats, and a hamster (antibiotics for a suspected chest infection). Experiences are mixed: many long-term clients describe consistent support over years, while a small number report serious concerns about misdiagnosis, communication, and complaint handling.

Chryston Veterinary Centre is part of Bishopbriggs & Chryston Vets (as stated on the website). Based on the information available, it appears set up for routine pet care and ongoing support across a pet’s life, with multiple reviews describing first puppy visits and end-of-life care. Owners repeatedly mention clear, “down to earth” advice, staff taking time to explain options thoroughly, and a supportive approach during bereavement and difficult decisions. The clinic is also listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility.

Taylor Veterinary Practice Limited is a veterinary nurse training facility. From the latest reviews, it appears set up for routine care (including vaccinations) and surgery with aftercare, and it also sees some non-traditional pets. Owners repeatedly mention staff taking time to handle stressed or aggressive cats calmly enough to complete an exam (including listening to the heart), and being clear about costs (“no hidden costs” is stated). Surgery aftercare is specifically mentioned for rabbits after spays, with risks explained beforehand and follow-up care described as “second to none.” A recurring practical negative in reviews is the lack of on-site parking.

Glasgow Shamrock Street PDSA Pet Hospital is part of the PDSA (a charitable organisation) and is positioned to provide free and low‑cost veterinary care for pets in need. Reviews repeatedly mention donation-based support (“they ask if you want to make a donation”) and also note that limited funds can sometimes limit which treatments are available. This hospital also operates as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. From the latest reviews, owners most often describe: long waits due to demand, structured nurse triage (observations taken before seeing a vet), and sensitive support around euthanasia and aftercare—one owner described cremation being explained clearly and ashes returned within a week in an engraved urn, delivered by a courier.

Robb Veterinary Clinic Ltd appears to operate as an independent practice (no evidence provided that it’s part of a corporate group). Reviews describe a clinic that handles both urgent medical cases and planned procedures, with owners repeatedly mentioning clear explanations and the ability to admit pets for treatment and monitoring. Concrete details mentioned by owners include: - Same-day urgent triage: one cat was treated as an emergency and the owner was asked to bring her straight in and drop her off, returning home a few hours later improved. - Complex/serious case care: one owner credits the team with helping save their dog during a pericardial effusion. - Surgical procedures: eyelid surgery is specifically mentioned, with praise for precise stitching. - Diagnostic communication: one vet (Chris) is singled out for explaining X‑ray results in detail and not pressuring owners to buy “unnecessary drugs”.

Armac Vets Ltd is a veterinary practice that also operates as a veterinary nurse training facility and offers emergency veterinary services (24/7 or extended hours, as stated in the clinic data). Reviews repeatedly describe quick, decisive handling of urgent cases and a focus on “welfare ahead of profits,” including owners saying the team don’t upsell. Concrete examples from recent reviews include: diagnosing a seriously ill cat within about 10 minutes and performing an emergency operation the same afternoon (cat home by 7:30pm after a 3pm appointment); owners reporting they were charged “in the hundreds not thousands” for that procedure; and multiple accounts of supportive, dignified end‑of‑life care for dogs. Long-term continuity is also mentioned (one reviewer reports using the practice for ~16 years across four dogs).

Two Rivers Veterinary Practice Ltd is an independent mixed practice (pets, horses and farm animals) and is accredited under the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons Practice Standards Scheme. The practice states it provides a 24-hour emergency service for registered clients, and reviews include an example of out‑of‑hours admission on a Sunday evening for a dog with pneumonia who was then treated in-practice for several days. Other specific care mentioned in reviews includes hip and elbow score X‑rays with an included health check, and vets taking time to help anxious dogs settle during appointments.
