Clinic Overview

Bishopton Veterinary Group is a multi-species practice (pets, farm animals, pigs and equine) that’s been providing animal care for over 80 years. Recent reviews repeatedly mention calm, clearly-explained consultations and a willingness to include owners in treatment decisions—one owner highlighted that vets listened to their views on “treatment pathways” rather than pushing a single plan. Specific care described includes post-op checks after a midline spay (with the wound described as “clean and neat”), rabies vaccination, and dedicated eye consultations with an external ophthalmology service (Veterinary Vision / Visionary Vets), including “necessary tests” and clear explanations of outcomes. The practice also offers a “Lifetime Care Club” (details and pricing not stated) and is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility.
