Best Vets in Aberdeen – Complete Local Guide

Aurora Veterinary Clinic has been serving pets since 2006, and its website highlights core routine care such as vaccinations, dental care, neutering and microchipping. Clinic data also lists emergency veterinary services, and the website notes that its emergency procedure would remain unchanged during a renovation period. In the latest reviews, owners repeatedly describe appointments that don’t feel rushed, with vets giving clear, detailed explanations and involving owners in decision-making. A recurring real-world example is ongoing management of persistent ear infections: one reviewer describes concerns about a lack of testing and unnecessary ongoing injections, while another describes a follow-up conversation with a manager that clarified the treatment plan and changed their view of the care.

Ashgrove Veterinary Centre Ltd describes itself as independently owned and set up as a multi-clinic practice with a relatively large clinical team (the website states 12 vets, 14 registered veterinary nurses, and 2 veterinary care assistants). The website highlights certificate holders in pain management (including acupuncture), dermatology, plus emergency medicine (nurse) and nutrition (nurse). From the latest reviews available, owners most often describe good experiences with small animals/exotics (guinea pigs and budgies are specifically mentioned), including dental work for a guinea pig, complex case discussions with “multiple options,” and aftercare gestures such as sending a sympathy card after a pet loss. A minority of recent reviews raise concerns about communication/triage via reception, including one report of being given incorrect information about same-day in-house blood testing, and another describing delayed vet call-backs after an adverse reaction to Librela.

Ashgrove Veterinary Centre Ltd is an independently owned veterinary practice (the website also states it has three clinics). It appears set up for general pet care alongside specific areas like pain management (including acupuncture) and dermatology. In reviews, owners most often describe supportive communication and practical help, including staff handling insurance paperwork, talking through options, and supporting anxious pets through repeated visits until they’re comfortable. A small number of reviews highlight a serious concern around after-death memorial items being posted without tracking and perceived lack of empathy.

Ardene House Veterinary Practice offers care for small animals, equine, and farm animals, with a branch surgery focused on companion animals. The website states they provide care 24/7 and work with Thistle Referral Services as a group partner. In recent reviews, owners most often point to a consistently warm welcome (including treats and extra attention for pets) and supportive handling of difficult visits such as end-of-life care. Practical touches mentioned include a cat-friendly waiting area with a partition for nervous animals, and nurses offering advice when needed.

Aberdeen Vets4Pets Ltd is part of the Vets4Pets chain (Pets at Home group). Based on the information available, the practice handles both routine care and more complex procedures: reviews mention urinary stone surgery (including a urethrostomy) and dentistry, alongside kitten/puppy care and neutering. Owners also describe added support beyond appointments, including behaviour advice for nervous dogs and a condolence card sent after a pet’s death. A minority of reviews raise concerns about cost transparency (unexpected extra charges) and one reports a serious missed/late diagnosis compared with a second opinion.
