Vets4Pets Glasgow Forge

Vets4Pets Glasgow Forge is part of the Vets4Pets group. The clinic has a relatively well-equipped setup, with three consultation rooms, an operating theatre, in-house lab, pharmacy, digital X-ray and ultrasound, plus separate cat and dog wards and an isolation unit. The practice also notes a deposit policy for procedures and asks for 24 hours’ notice for cancellations. Recent feedback is largely positive, especially around cat care, diagnostics and compassionate handling, though there are some complaints about communication and pricing.

I don't normally leave reviews, but I had to leave a review based on my experience yesterday. I had to take my pet rat to be put down sadly, and the vet Rachel could not have been nicer. She was empathetic, she was kind, she even offered to get paw prints of my rat after she had passed to get alongside her ashes. And she even offered to bring someone from the front desk to come into the examination room for payment as me and my other half were both crying. She is a shining example of what a vet should be like and I cannot praise her or this vet practice enough. Thank you again!

They have done an amazing job at looking after my lovely girl. She was in for a diagnostic that I was quite nervous about because she was meant to be sedated for it and they did their due diligence before giving her the sedative drugs and pre-screened her heart health to ensure pet safety. I felt my cat was in very safe hands the entire time and the team were very communicative about every aspect of the procedure and the findings of her health. The reception staff are kind and vet/nurse staff were very thorough and helpful. I would happily recommend this practice to fellow pet owners, they know what they’re doing in here.

Took my wee Rabbit to vets for pets and had a bit of an issue, the Lady Nikki on the front desk was great so so helpful, sorted everything out for me when she didn’t need to, got my rabbit in for her jag and all the staff that took part were absolutely great. Great team and would definitely recommend them.

Myself and my wife had our chocolate working cocker spaniel Abbey registered here for 6 years. We had moved over 30 miles away so we needed a new practice but in the 6 years we had Abbey registered here, we found Stuan and the staff great to deal with and they always put Abbey at ease. They were very ethical and charged fairly for what they did. Abbey passed away this week from pancreatic and liver cancer that started very suddenly. Thank you very much for the services over the years. This is a great practice to have your dog at.

Very lovely team. Always had a great experience with both getting my cats neutered and with one of my cats who had cystitis. Angelique is a great vet. Also have the care plan which has been great. Had nothing majorly serious but both the vets and nurses seem very attentive and haven't been pushy on expensive treatments either, even informing me it is cheaper to get my cystitis supplement elsewhere online

I was sent here by my usual Vets4Pets branch for an Animal Health Cerificate and was told the costs would be around £120. My dog was already vaccinated for rabies so the only thing which was needed was to scan his chip and fill out the forms. I was charged £263 for a few minutes of paperwork which is absolutely disgusting. Not only that but he didn't even look once at my dog to assess his health. Don't come here, you will be fleeced for as much as possible.

I took in a hedgehog that I had found in the middle of a very busy road at 9.30am. I managed to lift it and took it to this practice. I asked if they could check it and they said it was an SSPCA issue!!! I said if you check it and it’s ok I can take it home, feed it and release it to somewhere grassy tonight. She said all we will do is put it to sleep I was scared it was injured or unwell. I said I start work in 90 mins, I don’t know what to do. I had to agree and left feeling so upset that regardless of being ‘wildlife’ it still deserved to care from the very caregivers of all animals domestic or wildlife. I just wondered if I’d offered to pay that the outcome would have been different (I know Vets have a duty of care to wildlife) ♥️ Definitely not this practices finest hour
