We were on holiday when our dog was injured. Despite having no appointments the practice fitted us in - saw and treated our dog promptly. The pricing for treatment was very fair and reasonable. The staff very kind and helpful.

The Vets in this surgery are very helpful & knowledgeable when it comes to the health & well being of my two cats, Macy & Max.

We’re on holiday and called this morning as our dog Jessie woke up with a swollen hot and wet ear. They fit us in straight away and Nicola was very informative throughout checking over Jessie. She was super friendly and kind. Thanks for being there when we needed you!

£81 for 15 minutes and less than 0.3mg of steroids, google was more helpful and google was the one doing the consultation. Should have just bought another budgie! They replied to my review, I replied to their email invoice and they failed to respond.

Argyll Vets were great in taking in a poorly wild young hedgehog from my garden, and treating and hospitalising it. What an Excellent Caring Service. .

I would like to thank the staff for their amazing work and kindness. Our beautiful girl Alaska went over the rainbow bridge. We were visiting the area and quick phone call and they got us appointment straight away. I would like to thank you all personally (sorry I didn’t quite manage to get any of your names) I’m sure you know who you are!, you all do a great job. Highly recommend.
