Hyndland Street Veterinary Surgery – Vets in Glasgow
Clinic Overview
Hyndland Street Veterinary Surgery is an independent practice (no corporate group mentioned in the provided information) that has been caring for pets for over 35 years (per its website). Recent reviews describe hands-on help with practical paperwork (insurance forms and pet travel documentation), and accommodating urgent, same-day care (e.g., fitting in a dog with glass in a paw before closing for the weekend). There’s also evidence of owners seeking (and receiving) a second opinion on serious cases, including diagnostic testing and referral on for further scans rather than immediate euthanasia being the only option. A minority of recent reviewers raise concerns about rising costs and being pushed into tests they felt were unnecessary, so experiences around pricing and recommendations appear mixed.
Services
- •Urgent same-day problem appointments (as described by owners): removing glass from a dog’s paw after being fit in before the weekend closure.
- •Diagnostics and referral: one owner reports the vet recommended tests to identify the cause of abdominal fluid build-up and referred to a specialist for further scans.
- •Pet travel support and documentation: owners mention help when moving pets overseas and producing an “original official health certificate” within hours after travel documents went missing.
- •Insurance admin support: help with completing insurance forms.
- •Parasite treatment options: provision of flea treatments that the reviewer states do not contain neonicotinoids.
People
- •Dr Miranda (vet): specifically thanked for being “calm and kind” while supporting a cat’s overseas move.
- •Rachel (front desk): specifically praised for calm, kind support during overseas-move paperwork/process.

They take good care of my cat. Always super friendly. They help with insurance forms too. Also were able to provide flea treatments that don't contain Neonicotinoids, which are much better for the environment and nature, which is a major plus.

The staff and vets here are so helpful and kind - we received a lot of support moving our cat overseas that made the whole experience less stressful! Especially thank you to Dr Miranda and Rachel at the front desk who were so calm and kind to our Spider!

A big thanks to Brodie and Tara for their caring and professional service that we received today. It had been a while since we last attended the surgery however our cockapoo unfortunately stood on some glass this morning, which we were unable to retrieve from his paw at home. The team were accommodating with fitting us in before they closed for the weekend and treated (a very anxious) Bear with thoughtful care and attention to remove the glass successfully. Being a dentist myself, it was clear to see that the team today communicate well and work efficiently together to make care and treatment for our pets as comfortable as possible - which makes a huge difference in healthcare. Thanks again Brodie and Tara. Alice

My pet was registered at this practice for many years and over the past few years the service has changed a lot to worse. Starting from the way a vet is overcharging for tests that should not be even required for a healthy pet, to trying to tell the pet owner additional things are needed when in fact other vets disagree as my pet is perfectly healthy. Not to mention that the prices every year increase hugely (I understand prices raising but not in hundreds in just a year) this is unbelievable. I will be changing the vet in the upcoming weeks as it's really getting worse. And sadly, not all the vets in this practice are that friendly and approachable, puts me right off.

There are not enough words to express how wonderful the care we have received here at Hyndland St has been. Our two Siberian cats, Scout and Ellora, have been patients here for 10 years and each and every visit has been so full of love, gentleness and compassion. Whatever expectations we could’ve had have been far surpassed by the way our wee ones have been looked after! Every single one of the vets and nurses we have seen alike have such a wonderful manner, particularly with our more nervous Ellora (especially nurse Tara!) our cats could not be in better hands!

Hyndland Street Vets saved the day for our boy Lazare! After 4 years in Glasgow we were moving back to the US and Lazare was denied boarding on his flight from Frankfurt to St Louis because his travel documents went missing somewhere en route during his Edinburgh to Frankfurt flight. (Lufthansa!) On a very busy Friday before May Bank Holiday weekend — HSVS produced an original official heath certificate WITHIN HOURS so we could get him on the next flight. He’s with us a safe and sound now so I want to extend my sincere gratitude to HSVS for going above and beyond to help us. You all are THE BEST! Thank you!

Fantastic vet practice with professional, caring, helpful and welcoming staff. We’ve been with the practice for nine years, bringing our various dogs and cats there. We have always received excellent veterinary care from Hyndland Street. Highly recommended.

My beloved Moggy was a stray before I found him. I came to Hyndland vets for a second opinion because the first vet we went to just immediately suggested euthanasia due to the massive fluid build up in his abdomen. Dr. Brodie was so kind and took such good care of Moggy, he really cared and suggested tests to find the cause. He referred us to a specialist to do further scans. Although the end result was not what I had hoped for, I am at peace knowing Dr. Brodie gave Moggy a fighting chance. Thank you Dr. Brodie for all that you did for Moggy. ❤️🌈
