About us
Founded in the historic Royal Burgh of Lanark, our practice has grown into a prestigious, RCVS-accredited hospital group known for medical excellence. We are proud to be recognized as one of Scotland’s top ten best companies to work for, holding a 2-star ‘Best Companies’ award that reflects our commitment to a supportive and rewarding culture.
Led by a collaborative group of 14 veterinarians, including several certificate holders, our team fosters an environment of constant learning through regular clinical discussions and shared expertise. We operate out of a state-of-the-art flagship hospital and modern branch clinics, fully equipped with video endoscopy, laser therapy, ultrasound, and digital x-ray. Our dedicated nursing team provides 24/7 cover, ensuring our patients receive gold-standard care around the clock while supporting our clinicians at every turn.
Cannot recommend enough, it’s so hard to find a vet you can really trust and I would always trust Clyde Vets with my dogs, so fairly priced, they take so much care with your pets and you can tell everyone genuinely cares about the health of your pets. The Lanark branch have just been amazing throughout the 3 years I’ve been with them, thank you guys so much! – Chloe G – Google Review
