    I will honestly say hands down one of the best vets in edinburgh, so professional, sufficient and not only cares about your pets, but your own opinions aswell!! my cat is very old, he’s slowly going into his last legs, but still amazingly well for his age, they helped me for so long over the years of supporting me, and understanding i don’t want to let him go, i’ll always let friends and family know about this vet and future people with pets, if you want somewhere that actually cares for your animals rather than money, come here

    The lady vet was the kindest to my wee cat. The cat and I had both been traumatised by previous vet practise that we used to attend. We really have not visited for a long time. The Cat Clinic is well worth it. They actually seem to care. Thanks for a great visit. Great treatment. Took time and care with the animal.

    We had a vaccine appointment. Our cat was a bit irritated but she wasn’t the worst. Instead of managing the situation, they pricked her with the needle but did not finish the job as they were not able to inject the vaccine. It was horrible seeing our cat in such pain. We would have expected experienced veterinarians to at least have finished the procedure they started instead of blaming the situation on us and our cat.

    Used to like the cat clinic however, feels like now some of the locums they get are inexperienced and condescending. Been pushed for medicine just to sooth my cat when he is only a little bit wriggling. I would expect from a cat only clinic that they could handled that without suggesting general aesthetic and fully putting him under. It's inconsistent on the check up as some vets will do a very thorough check and other won't try but will still charge full amount. Overall im not satisfied with the service as I don't appreciate being typecast and having a vet who is condescending.

    I've been using The Cat Clinic for about 4yrs and they have been brilliant, making clinical decisions clearly that are best for my cat and have helped him deal with the multiple issues we all get as we age. I'm happy to recommend them for your feline needs. 😻
