Champion Vet East Kilbride

Champion Vet East Kilbride is a small-animal practice established in 2003 and part of the Champion Vets group. Based on the website and recent reviews, it appears set up for routine preventative care (vaccines, parasite control, nurse clinics) as well as surgical work and diagnostics (X‑rays/ultrasound), with referral services listed for cardiology and ophthalmology. Owners specifically mention cruciate ligament surgery (including post-op follow-up calls) and multiple reviews focus on end‑of‑life support—both positively (being “caring and thoughtful”) and negatively (one reviewer reports staff laughing in another room during euthanasia).
