“Been using Albavet since I moved to Dunfermline 3 years ago and can't fault them, great friendly service for all our cats at reasonable prices. Whether it's all the staff gushing over how cute your ginger kitten is (and how much they've enjoyed getting cuddles off him whilst he's been in!) or just sending a card when one of our cats has died (even once when we didn't get the chance to take them to the vet and just had to tell them over the phone after the fact) Albavet always seem to add that extra personal touch that is so appreciated. Thanks so much.”

“In what I can only describe as one of the most traumatic things I’ve been through, the full team were amazing. They took my dog out our arms as soon as we walked in there was no delay and the team updated us as soon as they could! I also received a call to update me on how she was doing and they let me call during the night for an update. Honestly the whole team were fantastic and my dog is recovering well.”

“So knowledgeable, thorough and kind. They all really went above and beyond and I felt reassured and supported the whole way through my cat's ill health. They really helped him to get batter as quickly and painlessly as possibly. Can't recommend these guys enough, they really prioritise the animals, as they should. Amazing team, thank you to all at Dundas Vets!”

“This practice is amazing, always so friendly and happy to assist with anything you or your pets could need. Wouldn't want to have my pets treated anywhere else. Absolute top teir service every time.”

“We just had our dog Bow’s very first trip to the vet, and it couldn’t have gone better! From the moment we walked in, everyone made her feel comfortable and welcome. The vet was incredibly kind and gentle, making sure Bow had plenty of tasty treats throughout the check-up (which she definitely enjoyed!). They even mentioned they’d put it in her notes that she’s a fan of treats — such a cute personal touch! The vet took the time to explain everything clearly and gave us great information about Bow’s health. We were so happy to hear them comment on how beautiful she is and what great shape she’s in. It’s so reassuring to know she’s in such good hands. All in all, it was such a positive and reassuring experience for both Bow and us — we couldn’t have asked for a better start to her vet visits! Thanks again to Vet, Megan”

“We are still not out of the woods but wanted to reassure anyone who has to take their beloved pet here as an emergency that these people will do everything they can. My cat Winston was feeling poorly and not eating too well. After taking him to my normal vet (Dundas Veterinary Group: never again) they told me his creatinine value was 1200 which is not good. 24 hours of fluids and no pain management, only trying to get him some gabapentin via food which he wasn’t eating and his condition was not improving and second blood panel showed 2300 creatinine. I didn’t want to give up especially since no imaging had been done so we received a priority referral to the small animal hospital and the treatment and bedside manner has been night and day. Winston was put on antibiotics, fluids and imaging was done among other things. These things take time and as of this morning his kidney values are back to normal ! Even if things do not end the way we want, I am so comforted by the fact that my cat is getting the absolute best care. Thank you to Joel and Esther and the team for taking such good care your patients and their owners.”
