Clinic Overview

Ardmory Veterinary Clinic is a single-centre clinic that opened in February 2009 and describes having experience caring for a “large range of pet species.” Recent reviews strongly reinforce that focus on exotics as well as cats and dogs, with owners describing treatment for snakes, tortoises, bearded dragons, parrots, hedgehogs, ferrets, gerbils and degus. Concrete examples include same-day surgery for a pygmy hedgehog lump, reptile husbandry advice (heating/lighting) given after an exam for suspected mouth rot, and end-of-life support for a ferret where the team phoned within about an hour with a clear but gentle update and gave the family time to say goodbye.

For emergencies when the clinic is closed, the website says clients are advised to contact Emergency Vets Glasgow or Vets Now.

Services

  • Care for a wide range of species (website claim; also reflected in reviews mentioning cats, dogs, parrots, snakes, tortoises, bearded dragons, hedgehogs, ferrets, gerbils and degus).
  • Surgery: owners mention a pygmy hedgehog having surgery for a lump and being “in and out on the same day.”
  • Reptile/exotic consultations and advice: a snake was examined for suspected mouth rot (ruled out) and the owner was given advice on heating/lighting; a bearded dragon and tortoise are also specifically mentioned as being treated.
  • Diagnostics mentioned in reviews: blood sample, stool (“poo”) sample, and a full examination as part of a longer consultation.
  • End-of-life care: one review describes sedation to prevent suffering and a calm, unhurried goodbye, with the vet explaining what would happen.
  • Emergency/out-of-hours: when closed, the clinic advises contacting Emergency Vets Glasgow or Vets Now (as stated on the website).

Pricing

  • One owner reports paying £90 for a 30-minute consultation that included a full examination, blood sample, and stool sample (tortoise case).

People

  • Dr Michael Orsi (vet): mentioned for clear, gentle communication during a ferret’s deterioration and euthanasia decision-making (“no pressure” and “not rushed”), and for handling exotics (praised as “best vet” for a bearded dragon; also described as confidently holding a parrot during care).
  • Nurse Laura (vet nurse): credited with seeing a ferret immediately after the owner phoned in the morning, followed by treatment shortly after.
  • Karen (receptionist): described as comforting on the phone and in person during an emotional visit.
  • Stefanie (receptionist): named as part of the small team in a detailed long-term client review.

Reviews

4.8 stars from 223 reviews. - Exotics competence comes up repeatedly: owners cite knowledgeable care for bearded dragons, snakes, tortoises, parrots, hedgehogs, ferrets and small mammals, including practical husbandry guidance (heating/lighting).

  • Speed and organisation for procedures: one owner says a hedgehog’s lump surgery was organised quickly with same-day in/out.
  • Clear, unpressured communication in difficult moments: a detailed ferret review describes timely updates, honest guidance about euthanasia, sedation to prevent suffering, and being given time and privacy to say goodbye.
  • Pricing perceptions appear mixed: one review argues costs were reasonable for an exotic work-up and gives an example total (£90), while also referencing that some other reviewers have called the practice “a little bit expensive.”
