Small animal Vets in Orkney

Here for you and your pets since 1861

We’re proud to care for the pets of Orkney, in sickness and in health, from our main surgery in Kirkwall and branch practice in Stromness.

We offer a comprehensive range of services and prioritise investing in our team and facilities to help our clients to avoid trips to mainland Scotland in search of expertise.

This includes modern diagnostic equipment, vets with further qualifications in areas such as orthopaedic surgery and therapy options such as acupuncture.

We also provide nurse clinics including post-op check-ups, nail clips, anal gland expression and weight checks.

All our experience has gone into creating our Best of Health wellness plans – designed to provide the highest standard of preventative care for pets across the islands.

We know how important it is to have trusted relationships with your veterinary team. That’s why our Gold and Silver members enjoy unlimited consultations with our vets and nurses.
