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.

Having a dog that doesn't like people touching him much got his boosters and a biscuit for being a star

Always the friendliest and most professional staff. All of our pets for the last thirty years have been cared for by Parkside and they have never let us down. ❤️

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 have been with Parkside with all my pets. I would highly recommend them. Always look after my little cherubs and offer great advice. Used the booking online service too which was easy to use.

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

I had to do the hardest thing on Monday and put my baby boy laddie to sleep .I could not have asked for better care for him in his last minutes we were shown in the room straight away and didn't have to wait .They were so kind right the way through the whole process and let us stay as long as we wanted everything was made so easy and no distress for my boy .This morning I had a lovely card from them and forget me nots to scatter .just waiting on his ashes to come home .ps if you so a red fiat 500 every night it was only Me saying good night to him thank you again

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.
