Glenbrae Veteinary Clinic

I took my 18 month old Springer to Glenbrae after he was diagnosed with lymphatic cancer. I wanted a holistic review on what was possible as he was so young. He was supported holistically and did have chemotherapy at that time. He is now nearly 4 and is in remission and doing fine just now. We went through some really dark times with him he won’t eat and was quite ill for a time and I do believe without the support of Wendy we would not have him today. They were and are always there for him and he still has help with his general health when required which we appreciate. My other Springer was diagnosed with auto immune disease (just bad luck) last year — again we had her to Glenbrae for holistic support and she has her episodes but Glenbrae help us to help her get back to fitness as that is the best we can do for her. We do not live locally to the practice — the travel is worth it for the support, care and help the practice gives to both dogs. The staff are always helpful and the whole feeling you get when you go there is a place that cares deeply about animals and their welfare.

I have been a customer of Glenbrae since they first opened more than 25 years ago and had many cats and dogs over those years. Wendy and all the vets and staff at Glenbrae and fantastic and always go that extra mile in times of heartache and struggle when animals are sick. They are so caring and always make you feel that you are valued as a customer and that your pet (your babies) are the most important thing, which is vital for me to trust someone with my pets. Nothing is too much trouble. My dog has had tumours three times now and had numerous operations. Each time the vets and nurses have talked me through difficult decisions and helped me cope. My animals love them!!!
Thanks a million everyone you are brilliant. Thanks for all those years of care.

I imagine I put as much care and attention into picking a vet for my kittens as most people do picking a school for their children! I rejected many establishments as substandard before going with Glenbrae!
I knew I had made the right decision the second I had walked in the door and was greeted by the lovely bubbly nurse/​receptionist. She was so friendly and made the process of registering my kitties very quick and easy. There were photos all along the reception desk of the staff’s pets which gave a lovely warm feeling that the staff are genuine animal lovers.
I made an appointment for the cats to have their vaccinations the next day and there was no problem at all getting the appointment time I wanted. When I brought the little lovelies in the staff were cooing over them which every cat mummy loves to see! As well as giving them their injections the vet also gave them an overall health check: looking at their teeth, feeling their abdomen, listening to their hearts and weighing them.
I was given lots of information leaflets away with me including one about how to give my cats’ first aid e.g. treating burns, cuts, and broken bones which I found really useful. I was also offered application to the vets pay monthly scheme where you pay a small amount each month and this covers your cats’ yearly booster vaccines, worm & flea treatment, an annual check-​up and money off toy and food products available in the surgery. This is great if you struggle to pay a big wad of money in one go at yearly vaccine time and your pet insurance doesn’t cover routine health «maintenance», only accident injury or illness.
Glenbrae also have an emergency out of hour’s service with Vetsnow on North Street in Glasgow which is great as pets don’t always injury themselves during normal opening hours! Any follow up treatment required after the initial emergency at Vetsnow can be given by Glenbrae.
As well as conventional medicine, Glenbrae also offer holistic therapies such as acupuncture and treatment for stressed pets. Cat lovers amongst you will know that cats are fussy little buggers and can become very distressed if their environment changes e.g. if you move in with your 6ft1 boyfriend who looks incredibly scary to tiny kittens, so having treatment like this available is great.

Excellent friendly service, the staff all seemed to care very much.
