Ashley Veterinary Centre lists both emergency veterinary services and being a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews most often describe support around difficult appointments—particularly end-of-life care, including an option to pay in advance so the euthanasia appointment could focus on the pet, and help with ashes collection a few weeks later. Owners also mention practical access and communication, such as being kept fully updated during a cat’s visit and arranging a same-morning appointment for an unregistered hamster.

Craigpark Veterinary Centre appears to be an owner-led practice (a reviewer names the owner as Carol) focused on small animals/domestic pets. Reviews repeatedly mention clear explanations of diagnoses and treatment options, plus practical support such as helping coordinate insurance claims. Owners also flag appointment access as something to plan around: one reviewer reports at least a week’s wait for routine appointments, while another describes their cat being seen at short notice after the clinic fitted them in.

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).

Glasgow East PDSA Pet Hospital is part of PDSA (a charity veterinary provider) and, per its website, offers free and low‑cost veterinary care for pets in need. Reviews describe routine procedures such as cat neutering, with a focus on clear pre‑op explanations (including risks) and detailed post‑op instructions—down to pre-marking medication doses on a syringe. Owners also mention an online option for advice (e.g., sending a photo of an eye issue to avoid an in‑person visit).

Queens Crescent Veterinary Clinic is a general small‑animal practice that also operates as a veterinary nurse training facility and offers emergency veterinary services. Recent reviews describe care for cats, dogs, and small pets including guinea pigs, with repeated mentions of thorough examinations, diagnostic testing, and clear explanations (for example, work‑ups for pancreatitis and hyperthyroidism). Several owners describe getting appointments quickly for urgent issues (a limping dog seen on a Saturday morning; a cancerous lump assessed and then removed within days).

Southside Veterinary Clinic describes itself as an independent practice, with same-day appointments and “cutting edge diagnostic and surgical facilities.” The clinic environment is repeatedly noted as being set up to reduce stress (the website offers fear-free appointments, and reviews mention a coffee bar/coffee shop and a more relaxed feel than a typical clinical setting). Reviews include multiple examples of surgery and aftercare (including a “major op,” and one account of dental surgery removing seven teeth) and support around difficult end-of-life decisions (owners describing being able to stay with their pet and a “quick and painless” euthanasia process).

Condorrat Veterinary Surgery describes itself as an independent, small practice that has been providing care for sick and injured animals for over 25 years. Recent reviews mention thorough, unhurried consultations (including a “last appointment of the night” that still involved time to listen and explain) and surgery aftercare (a pet recovering after back/flank surgery and treatment for a sore foot). A couple of reviewers raise policy/admin concerns: one describes being told flea/worm treatment wouldn’t be supplied without a paid health check (£57) and another describes a dispute about who can authorise record release.

Real Vets Limited describes itself as a fully independent, locally owned practice, with “over 40 years” of providing veterinary care (per its website). Based on the structured clinic data and reviews, it appears set up for both routine care and urgent problems, with emergency veterinary services listed and at least one reviewer describing receiving help when they contacted reception “in emergency” about their dog. Recent feedback is mixed on service delivery: several long-term clients describe consistent support (including end-of-life empathy and a condolence card), while others report communication and admin issues (missed medication call-backs; surprise admin charges; feeling rushed in consults).

Pets ’n’ Vets is part of Linnaeus Veterinary Ltd and is presented on its website as a network of practices. The service list suggests it’s set up for routine care (health checks, vaccines, parasite treatment) as well as more advanced options such as laparoscopic spay (“keyhole” neutering), orthopaedic/soft tissue surgery, cardiology, physiotherapy, and outpatient advanced imaging (CT/MRI). In the latest reviews available to us, owners most often describe clear explanations and advice, and staff taking time to settle nervous puppies during appointments.
