Parkside Veterinary Group Ltd – Vets in Dundee
Clinic Overview
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.”

Used the services of the Barnhill practice to care for my cats since 2003. All levels of Staff are caring and compassionate. Only downside is that I have no faith in their outsourced emergency 'After hours 'service. ' which I used once but never again, a shoddy and extremely expensive service.

I use Barnhill practice and I have been for 8 years with my chihuahua. He gets the best care and very accommodating. I booked an appointment and was for the wrong practice and staff went above and beyond to accommodate me. Amazing service and always got the pets needs at the heart of the service

We have a new puppy. We chose this vets as they were highly recommended by dig walkers in Dundee. The vet was very knowledgeable about our breed of dog, and answered all our questions. We think we chose well.

I Took my Golden Retreiver to Parkside vets for her injections. She is a very nervous patient but the vet was very kind to her and don’t time petting her and playing with her. When it actually came to the injection she never even noticed it. She was much more relaxed when she left

Yearly check up and jags went extremely well. Being an elderly dog he's very nervous whenever he gets into Parkside car park and hardest part is getting him out of the car. Once inside vet deals with him very patiently and he is so reassured that he didn't even flinch when getting jag. Well done 👏 to all at Parkside.
