Best practice ever. Always have an appointment available for you no matter what. Eildh gives you the best advice and very honest. Prices are great compared to our other local cooperative vets. Shame as vets were brilliant also. Cant recommend Cairngorm vets enough.

Fantastic vet practise. Eilidh goes above and beyond to look after your pet and owners. Unfortunately we were only with the practise for just over a month with our elderly staffie, but she was terrific with him right through to the end. Her care and compassion for him was incredible. Prices were amazing compared to other practises. Thank you Eilidh and your team.

I don't have enough positive words to say about the whole team at Cairngorm vets.. exceptional care, compassion, and professionalism as a few examples but I could go on and on.. The whole team go above and beyond any form of veterinary care we have ever received from previous vet practices.. The amount of love, care and knowledge is unmatched. We feel so lucky to call them our vets. A special shout out to Nicola- We are so very grateful for the help and love she has shown to us while our oldest baby Jimmy has been going through surgery at a referral vets. If you are wondering if you should give them a wee try - Do it.. I promise you'll have zero regrets. The best of the best 💚

The team at Cairngorm vets are so kind and knowledgeable. They always take the time to listen and understand, are upfront about fees and clearly have my animals’ best interests at heart. I trust them to give me all relevant information and to do the best thing for my pets. Their premises are clean and pleasant. I feel they are just the reliable, affordable and compassionate vet practice that everyone wants for their pets.

My dog was recently diagnosed with an eye illness at Cairngorm Vets and Eilidh seriously what could have been a really stressful situation with her calming, informative approach. Having had a bad experience at another vet, I was so assured by her and could tell how deeply she cares. Really grateful for all of the reception staff too, who are so kind and caring towards patients and owners. Couldn’t recommend more!

Elidh, is one in a million. Our 3 boys can be very unsure of people and different surrounding and she works so well at delivering them any treatment and makes it look so easy. She and her team are just amazing. We would 100% recommend them best vets around. Thanks again Donna, Kevin and Ramie. Xx
