Best Vets in Dundee – Complete Local Guide

Parkside Veterinary Group Ltd treats multiple species (pets, horses and farm animals) and states that emergency/out-of-hours care is available for all three. In reviews, owners most often describe routine preventative care (boosters/injections and yearly check-ups), with several detailed examples of vets taking time to settle nervous dogs before giving injections so the pet “never even noticed it.” Owners also mention practical touches such as online booking, and one euthanasia experience where they were taken straight into a room, allowed to stay as long as needed, and later received a sympathy card and forget-me-nots to scatter. A recurring concern from one long-term client is dissatisfaction with the outsourced after-hours service, described as “shoddy and extremely expensive.”

Vets Now (Dundee) is part of the Vets Now network (the website describes 60+ UK emergency locations) and is set up primarily for out‑of‑hours pet emergencies rather than routine daytime care. The clinic also offers video consultations, and the website states it provides emergency cover when “host practices are closed.” Recent reviews describe fast triage and ongoing communication during urgent cases—for example, a dog seen after being hit by a car, and pets kept in for monitoring (“in for two nights”). Several owners mention proactive updates, including follow-up calls and “regular updates” on a pet’s progress. Reviews also repeatedly note that out‑of‑hours care can be costly, with one describing it as “invaluable” despite the price.

Wallace Vets is a veterinary practice that also acts as a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews describe a mixed experience: several owners highlight patient handling for anxious dogs (including taking extra time so a nervous rescue dog could be fully examined), while a smaller number report serious concerns about cost and communication—one owner says they felt pressured toward euthanasia and were quoted £2.4k for surgery they later had done elsewhere for £1.2k. Concrete details mentioned by owners include: - Extra time taken during appointments to help a nervous rescue dog tolerate a full set of checks (including allowing face pats). - Targeted help for fear of vet visits, with ongoing support from a staff member named Jodie. - A complaint about medication not being ready when expected. - A complaint alleging insensitive comments about affordability, naming an employee called Fraser.

Tay Veterinary Centre describes itself as a family-run independent practice with over 50 years of providing care, and it is also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. From the clinic’s own information and recent reviews, it appears set up for routine preventative care (consultations, vaccinations) as well as diagnostics and procedures (including in-house lab work, surgery and dental). Recent owner feedback is mixed: several reviews mention long-term use and trust in specific vets (especially Olga) and comment on the clinic being clean and well laid out. A smaller number of reviews raise serious concerns about the accuracy of written reports for insurance, charges, and how nervous or reactive dogs are managed in the waiting area (including dogs approaching other dogs).

Dundee PDSA Pet Hospital is part of the PDSA charity and is described on its site as providing free and low-cost veterinary care to pets in need. It’s also listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. Recent reviews highlight a mix of experiences: several owners describe the clinical team acting quickly (including surgery for a cat) and supporting families through end-of-life care for an elderly dog, while others report difficulty getting in touch and concerns about front-desk interactions.
