Bearsden Vets4Pets Ltd

Bearsden Vets4Pets Ltd is part of the Vets for Pets group and presents itself as a modern, well‑equipped practice with formal accreditations (RCVS accredited and ISFM Cat Friendly). The clinic appears set up for routine and surgical care with on‑site diagnostics (in‑house lab, digital X‑ray and ultrasound) and cat/dog separation in both waiting and ward areas. In the latest reviews, owners most often describe supportive end‑of‑life care (including a “peaceful send off” and staff staying gentle and present throughout) and vets who adjust handling for nervous pets (e.g., a “calming slow gentle approach” with a nervous guinea pig).

People

• •Alan (vet): Mentioned in multiple reviews for reading pet behaviour quickly and adjusting his approach—one owner of a very nervous guinea pig said he “instantly recognised” the nerves and used a “calming slow gentle approach” during the exam. Another reviewer said both their cats “warmed to him,” describing him as knowledgeable.
• •Yasmin: Mentioned as “kind and welcoming” at the front of house.
• •Unnamed vets/staff (end-of-life care): Several owners describe staff supporting them through euthanasia with gentle handling and clear effort to keep the pet comfortable (e.g., continuing to stroke the dog as the family left).

One review also describes a communication gap: after being told an exotic‑pet vet would call, the owner reports they left contact details and did not receive a response.

Reviews

Google rating: 4.6 stars from 223 reviews.

• •End-of-life support is a standout theme: multiple owners describe euthanasia appointments handled gently, with staff providing calm support and focusing on a peaceful experience for the pet.
• •Handling of anxious animals: reviewers give specific examples of vets adapting pace and touch (notably with a nervous guinea pig, and cats who settled with the vet).
• •Ongoing medical support: one owner describes the team helping manage a dog diagnosed with Addison’s disease, including nursing through “ups and downs” and supporting the owner.
• •Communication can be inconsistent: at least one reviewer reports not receiving a promised follow-up call about exotic-pet care, despite providing contact details.
