The Avenues Veterinary Centre

They really want the best for your animals and their knowledge and care is excellent. My dog actually gets excited at the thought of going there! Brilliant team of people. Affordable prices for great care.

I couldn't agree more with a previous reviewer who described the reception staff in Rutherglen as being 'passive aggressive and arrogant'. On the few occasions I have had contact with them I have found them to be at best unsympathetic to my pet's symptoms and at worse, uninterested. This is a shame as I actually found the vet to be very good and thorough with her diagnosis when examining my pet. However due to the aggressive manner of the receptionists I will not be returning to this practice.

I wouldn’t take my pets anywhere else, the staff are amazing. The service is great the dogs don’t mind going, which is a great help.

All staff are excellent and so caring with our pet. I would highly recommend them. 5*

My dogs love going here first vet I have found that they like

Avoid at all costs. Based upon all visits made, it feels entirely that the care of animals is not that of their top priority (which feels grossly concerning given that this is a vet). On countless occasions over the years the reception staff have come across both passive aggressive and arrogant.It goes without saying that an unwell pet is scary for both the owner and the animal, however, through very little communication and no level of kindness shown, there is nothing offered to help take away such fears. Very glad to have found a new vet which care in a way one would expect for someone you trust with a member of your family.Would review zero stars if it was an option.

After being at The Avenues for 13 years with my two dogs, very little requirement for the vet until I noticed youngest dog wasn't eating as well as usual this year.I took him to the Avenues and suggested there was something wrong with his mouth. Knowing your dog and their little habits and characters I thought he might have issues with his teeth. With no internal mouth examination done, I went on a long and drawn out process of my dog being diagnosed with a heart defect and given medication that didn't agree with him at all.I kept calling and insisting something wasn't right and that he was in pain. Two week later after being told to persist with the heart medication I took him back and the vet was shocked at the state he was now in, skinny, lethargic and now breathing like he had run a marathon! Not what he was like when i first took him in! She took him off the medication right away and sent him home. I insisted on pain relief and she charged me £27 for a tiny bottle of Calpol!This was the first time he had been offered pain relief since I took him in a month before.Couple of days later I had a mad dash through the night the the emergency vet with blood gushing out his mouth. This vet listened when i said it was something wrong with his mouth and with three of us holding him down we managed to open his mouth long enough to see a massive tumour growing in his throat. The vet immediately prescribed strong pain relief and back the Avenues I went to have the tumour seen too. My wee dog was taken in and got a call while he was still under to say it was cancer and was so bad it would be wrong to bring him back round.Such a traumatic event, not to see my wee dog again, that I didn't trust the vet again with my other pets. I still can't believe that my dog wasn't examined properly despite my concerns, that the vet opted for weeks of expensive treatments first rather than checking his mouth, and all this time without offering pain relief. My wee dog suffered terribly in his last few weeks. Dogs get cancer, I get that. But in your pets hour of need you would at least expect that the vet would listen to you as the pet owner and at the very least offer over priced pain relief for a start!!

Brilliant little vets, the staff are friendly, the vets are great and it's such a friendly environment!

My wee beloved girl got put to sleep today. Everyone was so lovely and caring towards her and us. Will never forget the vet saying if we coukd give them more years we would. Rest easy Millie xxxThanks to the lovely staff
