The Avenues Veterinary Centre Mount Florida – Vets in Glasgow

Updated January 2026
Independent Clinic

Clinic Overview

The Avenues Veterinary Centre Mount Florida is an independent small‑animal practice. The website positions the team as experienced with preventative care as well as treating illness and injury, and reviews add detail on what that looks like in practice: pre‑op blood tests being offered before procedures, same‑day assessment without an appointment in at least one case, and efforts to reduce stress for small or nervous pets (for example Emla cream before injections and using very small needles for a 2.4kg dog).

Reviews are mixed: many describe calm handling and supportive staff, while a small number describe serious concerns including perceived negligence, rude/unempathetic communication, and dissatisfaction with treatment costs and outcomes.

People

Named individuals mentioned in reviews

  • Karen (vet): credited by one owner with calming a small dog during treatments; practical steps mentioned include Emla cream before jabs, extra small needles, and involving another staff member to help handle a “two person” dog safely.
  • Lynsey: referenced by an owner during a post‑visit moment (no clinical role stated).
  • Lisa: described as quickly helping an injured puppy after a fall; the owner says Lisa “scooped him up” and he was “back to his boisterous self in no time.”
  • Nicola: named in a complaint-focused review; the reviewer describes a distressing complaint process and alleges unempathetic/offensive communication. (This is an allegation from a reviewer; no clinic response is available in the provided data.)

Reviews

Google rating: 4.7 stars from 156 reviews.

  • Extra precautions around procedures: owners mention blood tests before surgery and delaying a planned castration/hernia repair when a liver issue was picked up.
  • Handling and comfort measures for anxious/small pets: examples include Emla cream before injections, tiny needles, and taking a nervous cat’s stress levels into account.
  • Access and responsiveness (positive): reports of being squeezed in despite being booked, and one account of being checked immediately without an appointment for an unwell dog.
  • Strong negative experiences also appear: a reviewer alleges continuous issues/negligence and an unpleasant complaint process; another complains about repeat medication costs and that their dog’s chest/kennel cough symptoms were not improving, plus frustration about reaching an answer machine saying the practice was closed.
