My Jack Russell Otis was referred here by my own Vets, was greeted & treated by one of the owners Donald. He was Fantastic, great with Otis and went through the process of what would happen. Very professional and informative. All the rest of front of house staff were fab too. Would highly recommend Thistle Vets. Read Less

Great place with friendly staff who really look after their patients. Our dog Luna has been going here since she was a pup and recently we received exemplary after care when she developed a slight infection after being spayed. Lots of scans and checks all at no extra charge. Would recommend to everyone.Read Less

I cant praise Thistle Vets enough. we have a rescue dog who has been seen by other vets as a "problem' dog, so much so that one vet suggested putting her down! Thistle Vets on the other hand listened to her limitations and treated her accordingly and for the first time since we got her a few years ago she is finally not afraid of the vets! Its a miracle. So pleased we can now get her regular check ups and we have signed up for monthly instalments which is also a bonus to spread out payments. Read Less

I came for my cat who had an abscess after a fight. My cat was treated well (cleaned the wound and gave him antibiotics) but they asked me to come back few days later to check if everything was ok. I was a bit surprised as usually in the same case vets told me to come back only if there was no amelioration but they asked me to take another appointment to bring my cat 3 days later to check, which I did, despite the fact that my cat was obviously getting better. This 2nd appointment lasted about 2 minutes, they said everything was fine but gave him another shot of antibiotics, in case of, and I had to pay the full price (about 60+the shot) just to hear that my cat was fine. I really felt like they were simply trying to get my money. Didn't really like neither the patronizing tone of the vets. I am not from the UK, english is not my first language and I wanted to be sure to do the best for my cat and that I got all the informations I needed but I was obviously bothering them by asking to repeat.Read Less

I have been looking for a while to find the right Vet for me and my kittens with endless internet surfing, face to face visits asking specific questions what some of the vet nurses/assistants failed to answer or did not bother to take the time, physically checking out the locations and of course finding the right price and deals for services offered.If you have a car Thistle vets just opposite the Edinburgh Corn Exchange is easily accessible. Street parking is not a problem as plenty of space. There are also bus stops nearby (eg. 35 bus stop is very close). Asda is not far either :-)The vet reception is visitor friendly. Plenty of sunshine coming through the big windows and glass door. The staff at the reception is very polite and accommodating and offer plenty of time for advise and any help with paperwork to fill in, and believe me, there is plenty of paperwork, if you opt for the VIP and starter kit options. These deals were one of my main reasons to join. The starter kit is £60 per cat if you also opt for the VIP monthly option (£10 per cat).The starter kit includes 2 vaccinations (eg against influenza amongst others) that every kitten should get from the age of 8 weeks and microchipping. 10% off neutering with the VIP option plus yearly boosters and worm treatments etc.They have 2-3 treatment rooms and besides cats also treat dogs and small animals. What I also like is that the vets there seems to know what they are doing, especially with the many vaccinations my kittens already had this year, with no sounds from them at all.In the reception area they also sell pet food, accessories and toys, plus you can order from their shop online. One tip from me is that the nail scissors sold there are not the cheapest with £15. You can get cheaper ones somewhere else.The rooms appear clean and sterile enough.Another plus point is that they are open Saturday and Sundays for a few hours. Whoop! Why only 4 stars? I have not been a member for long and want to see any further pro and cons before giving a 5*. Read Less

Lovely vet clinic, the staff are friendly and helpful and are always comfortable to chat to you in the waiting room. Staff seem to be really cat friendly as well which is what some other clinics lack. Couldn't recommend a better vet clinic! Read Less

My brief experience with them was quite unpleasant - I came in to ask for some impartial advice, but all they tried to do was to sell me something. First they tried to convince me to purchase their 10 a month health plan even though my dog doesn't need a booster for the next 17 months and by the time she does, she will most likely not be in the UK anymore (we're only here for less than a year :)). They were also offering me pet insurance and tried to convince me to get an appointment even though my dog didn't need one. In general it didn't really feel like they were trying to help me or give me advice - they seemed more concerned about selling me whatever they could. Read Less
