Searching for a new vet


Can any one in the Aberdeen area recomend a good vet? I am looking for one who is open to discussion and who wont talk down to me. They must have a good knowledge of cats and stress issues.
I wont go into details on a public board but I have recently lost all faith in my vet and the receptionists capabilities at my current practice.

Obviously I would recommend my vet, they are pretty up to date with new treatment, its a young aged practice so very energetic and positive.
Not sure how they are with stress issues and initally it may feel they talk down to you but once they are aware you are knowledgable are very receptive, and the receptionists are lovely!

I'm sorry you are having problems where you are, I always found the 2 main vets, while they were at our vets helpful.

Re: Searching for a new vet


Oh, Elaine I am so sorry that your vet has let you down!
I am in Edinburgh, but don't know any vets in Aberdeen...
I will ask around, but what is good for one is not good for another
I was let down very BADLY by a vet last year, which resulted in my cat dying (pts) due to his mistake. And I will NEVER go to them again. Its a public forum so I will not go into the details either (did so before and got stick for it on another forum and abuse from members, so won't do that again).
Sometimes vets don't like their 'clients' to be knowledgable, and that can cause bumping egos lol.
