Glasgow Shamrock Street PDSA Pet Hospital – Vets in Glasgow
Clinic Overview
Glasgow Shamrock Street PDSA Pet Hospital is part of the PDSA (a charitable organisation) and is positioned to provide free and low‑cost veterinary care for pets in need. Reviews repeatedly mention donation-based support (“they ask if you want to make a donation”) and also note that limited funds can sometimes limit which treatments are available. This hospital also operates as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility.
From the latest reviews, owners most often describe: long waits due to demand, structured nurse triage (observations taken before seeing a vet), and sensitive support around euthanasia and aftercare—one owner described cremation being explained clearly and ashes returned within a week in an engraved urn, delivered by a courier.
Services
- •Free and low-cost veterinary care for eligible pets (charity-based model stated on the website and reflected in reviews).
- •Veterinary Nurse Training facility (listed in the clinic data).
- •Vaccinations mentioned in reviews (e.g., a kitten’s initial vaccinations).
- •Nurse triage/assessment mentioned (e.g., a vet nurse “doing the obs” before the vet appointment).
- •Euthanasia support, with owners describing a “peaceful and gentle” process.
- •Cremation arrangements discussed in reviews, including explanation of the process and return of ashes (one review mentions return by the end of the week and an engraved urn).

Reviews
4.5 stars from 1,464 reviews. - Low-cost/charity care is a key draw, especially for owners who can’t get insurance or afford “4‑figure” private vet bills; several reviewers express gratitude for the service.
- •Wait times are commonly mentioned (including being “running an hour behind”), with some owners accepting this as part of high demand and low-cost provision.
- •End-of-life care and aftercare are frequently praised: multiple reviews describe euthanasia as calm and compassionate, with clear explanations of cremation and ashes returned within about a week (including mention of an engraved urn and courier delivery).
- •Access/registration can be a pain point in at least one negative review: a reviewer says they were told their dog needed re-registering after not visiting for three years and that no new pets were being taken on, and they were sent away without seeing a vet (after a nurse checked the foot).

As a charitable organisation funds are limited which in cases limits treatments on offer but they are warm and friendly and have prolonged the life of my sickly dog... He however does not like visiting Shamrock St

Brilliant staff. Wait times can be long but with providing free and low cost care this can be expected. The staff are amazing patient and compassionate when dealing with euthanasia. I worried about having my pet put down and you made the whole process peaceful and gentle. The process of cremation was explained and everything made very easy especially at the worst time. I’m really grateful you gave my pet a really peaceful passing. I received my ashes by the end of the week and they were in a beautiful engraved urn and delivered by a really lovely and thoughtful courier. The vet was brilliant and the telephone staff very patient and kind. I hope people donate as much as they can to help this place and what they do. Thank you.

Had to have my 20 yr old cat put down and they handled it brilliantly my pet was very relaxed and it was very peaceful. The vet was very compassionate and the process of receiving my cats ashes and the process was made very easy and she was back with me before the end of the week. I’m really grateful for this as it was something I was very fearful of. You guys were amazing even the telephone staff thank you. 🫡

An absolute godsend to those who like me have been refused insurance on my dog and cannot afford 4 figure sums from private vets anytime something goes wrong. You make an appointment, they ask IF you want to make a donation (I donated ÂŁ50 on each of my 3 visits) I would have been double my donation just for the medication I got on the 3 visits.

Dump of a place was told because my dog hasn't visited in the last 3 years it would need to be re registered and they aren't taking on any more pets. They let the nurse check her foot she said there may be a foreign object stuck in the foot but she can't do anything and I can't see a vet I was sent away.

The staff and veterinary professionals provided exceptional care and assistance. My kitten's initial vaccinations were administered with great attention, and the experience was positive. Street parking is readily available.

We’re so grateful to the PDSA team for the incredible care and compassion they showed while trying to save our beloved cat, Pepsi. Even though he didn’t make it, we know they did everything they could. Their kindness during such a heartbreaking time meant the world to us. Thank you for being there for Pepsi and for us.

Only registered my wee dog and was seen within days of being accepted. Easy telephone appointment lovely receptionist I spoke to. The vet was very busy and running an hour behind which was fine as they are dealing with so many pets and doing their best to sort everyone especially emergencies. The triage vet nurse was great doing the obs and the vet nurse was amazing. All in all we were very satisfied with everything and very grateful for this service
