Dunedin Veterinary Surgeons
Tranent
Our Score (77/100)
Dunedin Veterinary Surgeons describes itself as a fully equipped small-animal practice, with a large surgical suite plus x‑ray, ultrasound, in‑house diagnostics and hospitalisation facilities. It is also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility and offers emergency veterinary services (the exact out‑of‑hours arrangement isn’t stated in the information provided). In recent reviews, owners most often point to practical outcomes and handling: testing a lump at the first request (then surgical removal a few weeks later), fitting in an emergency procedure, and vets being notably good with nervous dogs during routine vaccinations. Several reviewers also mention pet insurance claims being processed promptly.

ICR Pentland Vets
Edinburgh
Our Score (80/100)
ICR Pentland Vets is part of the ICR Vets group, and the site states they offer 24-hour veterinary services for all pets. The clinic is described as RCVS Accredited, with “Cat Friendly Clinic” status also listed (and the group notes accredited hospital status for a different clinic in the same network). Reviews most often describe unhurried appointments where owners feel listened to, including support during end-of-life care. One review raises a practical concern about readiness for small pets (no suitable scale available for a hamster) alongside a complaint about a “£60+” consultation fee for that visit. Concrete specifics owners mention include: - End-of-life care with extra support for owners’ questions. - Pets not being rushed, with time taken to assess individual needs. - Calm handling for cats (“peaceful and pleasant time”). - A hamster health check where weighing was skipped due to lack of an appropriate scale (as reported by the reviewer).

Braid Vets Dalkeith is part of the wider Braid Vets group (with a main hospital and other practices), offering routine care alongside more advanced options such as referral surgery and ophthalmology, plus 24/7 emergency treatment (per the clinic website). Reviews most often describe practical, day-to-day strengths: receptionists being “quick and polite” with questions, vets taking time to explain what needs to happen, and calm handling of cats and dogs that dislike vet visits. A small number of recent reviews raise concerns—one owner reports being surprised by the cost of a first health check and says their puppy was incorrectly sexed.

Happy Pets describes itself as an independent veterinary practice with a small team focused on continuity of care and personalised support for both pets and owners. From the latest reviews, owners most often highlight time spent talking through options and questions, and one detailed account credits the clinic—especially vet Maggie—with urgent care that helped a cat recover from a critical kidney problem. Reviews also mention that not everything was perfect, including some discomfort with reception, alongside very positive experiences with the vets.

Links Veterinary Group
Haddington
Our Score (72/100)
Links Veterinary Group provides both first-opinion and referral care, with a stated 24-hour emergency and critical care service available 365 days a year. Based on the website, the practice handles routine work (health checks and vaccinations) through to complex medicine and surgery, and also accepts referral cases in ophthalmology and orthopaedics. Recent reviews add detail on what that can look like in practice: one owner describes a dog admitted in a critical condition with bloody diarrhoea/vomiting, rapid deterioration, and emergency surgery to stop internal bleeding, followed by a five-day hospital stay with regular, clear updates and involvement in decision-making. Multiple owners also mention being seen on time, not feeling rushed, and the team proactively organising insurance-linked appointments/medication—while one recent 1-star review reports the opposite experience (not enough empathy/explanations and a strong focus on payment/insurance processes).

Straiton Vets4Pets Ltd
Loanhead
Our Score (71/100)
Straiton Vets4Pets Ltd is a Vets4Pets practice that the clinic website describes as “locally owned,” with a modern setup including an in-house lab, imaging (digital X‑ray and ultrasound), a hospital ward, and separate dog/cat wards plus isolation. It appears geared to routine preventive care via health plans (with nurse clinics, weight clinic, flea/worm treatments and vaccinations discussed in reviews) as well as investigations and procedures supported by on-site diagnostics. Decision-relevant signals from reviews are mixed: several owners describe helpful, practical advice and being fitted in at short notice (including a follow-up call offering assistance on arrival), while others raise concerns about admin/communication (especially around care-plan documents and collecting parasite treatment), continuity/experience of vets, and one complaint about cremation return items for a rabbit.
