Blythwood Vets

Blythwood Vets is an RCVS-accredited practice (Practice Standards Scheme) with “over 40 years” stated experience, and the website also notes Silver-level Cat Friendly Clinic status (ISFM) and Investors in People accreditation. It offers routine care plus nurse clinics and a health-plan option (“Pet Health for Life Plans”), and advertises emergency services “across multiple locations.” In the latest reviews available, owners repeatedly describe quick help for urgent problems (including suspected toxin ingestion treated immediately with medication to induce vomiting), ease of getting appointments, and supportive handling of nervous pets; one long-term client praises consistent service over 28 years but criticises being told to call back at 8am for an appointment.
