We transferred from Braid Vets Leith branch (also fantastic!) to Dalkeith when we moved and I cannot recommend them highly enough. We have two cats and a dog, and our dog is reactive to touch + we’ve had a WHOLE journey with him - the entire team at Braids has been nothing but patient, supportive, and helpful in getting us the help and care our little ones need. We love Braids (even if our animals act like they don’t 😂)!

I have always had a great experience here. All of the staff have been incredibly helpful and lovely. My poor cat does not like going to the vets, but the vets have always had nothing but patience and kindness towards him!

I cannot fault the Dalkeith branch in the slightest. Have always had a lovely experience with the receptionists. They have been quick and polite when I had questions and was seeking advice on waffles eating habits. The pet health plan at £19.50 a month has saved me so much money on health checks, vaccinations and flee/worm treatment. All the vets are amazing with waffle, he can be pretty feisty and moody and they have always shown him kindness and nothing else.

Brought Tony in for his very first health check at 3–4 months old. Not only was the fee a delightful surprise (read: expensive), but they also confidently told me he was a she and advised me to spay “her” when the time came. Fast forward—Tony is very much a boy. Bravo, truly top-tier expertise.
