Glenbrae Veterinary Clinic Ltd – Vets in Glasgow

Clinic Overview

Glenbrae Veterinary Clinic Ltd is a veterinary practice that also operates as a veterinary nurse training facility. Based on the latest reviews available to us, owners most often describe efficient, friendly front-desk handling and vets who take time to explain diagnoses and treatments—though a couple of reviews report poor communication and dissatisfaction with decision-making and aftercare.

Concrete examples owners mention include being seen “at such short notice,” being shown straight into a private room for a dog-reactive dog, and surgical care ranging from rabbit spaying to bladder stone removal (with very different views on how well the case was handled).

Services

  • Emergency care is stated on the clinic website, but details aren’t specified.
  • Veterinary nurse training facility (listed in the clinic’s structured data).
  • Exotics/small pets mentioned in reviews: rabbits (multiple reviews), plus rats, budgies, and guinea pigs.
  • Rabbit surgery: preventative spay for a female rabbit (review mentions the vet was “rabbit savvy” and experienced with exotics).
  • Diagnostics mentioned: blood tests (for a very unwell dog) and ultrasound (used to identify bladder stones).
  • Surgery mentioned: bladder stone removal; various surgical procedures over many years (not specified); castration was recommended in one case (owner disputed the basis until further diagnostics were done).

People

  • Alice (vet): described as “exceptional” by a reviewer who was seen at short notice.
  • Ellie (vet): specifically praised for being “rabbit savvy”/experienced with exotics and for performing a rabbit spay with a smooth recovery reported.
  • Joshua: praised for handling a dog-reactive rescue dog calmly—taking time to reassure the dog before blood tests—and for clearly explaining diagnosis and treatment.
  • Reception team: repeatedly described as friendly and welcoming; one review reports a negative phone interaction where a staff member allegedly refused to give their name.

Reviews

4.8 stars from 297 reviews. The latest written reviews are mostly very positive, with two recent 1-star reviews describing communication and service issues. “”

  • Friendly, efficient visits: owners often mention a warm welcome and efficient service.
  • Handling nervous/reactive pets: one owner reports being taken straight to a private room for a dog-reactive dog, which helped the dog stay calmer.
  • Exotics/rabbits specifically referenced: multiple owners mention rabbits and describe the clinic as “rabbit savvy,” including a detailed account of a successful rabbit spay and recovery.
  • Diagnostics and treatment explanations: one review highlights clear explanations around diagnosis and treatment following blood tests.
  • Conflicting experiences on communication/aftercare: one 1-star review describes miscommunication and poor before/aftercare around bladder stone surgery (including needing to call for fasting instructions), and concerns about assumptions being made before an ultrasound confirmed the issue; another 1-star review focuses on an unpleasant phone interaction.
