Albavet Advanced Care Centre - Dunfermline

I took my elderly dog here with breathing difficulties. The initial consultation was by a very inexperienced vet who denied her antibiotics despite me requesting them. A few hours later we had to rush back and they diagnosed pneumonia. She was in for 2 night's at a total cost of £700. The vet that finally diagnosed the pneumonia was great but I feel it's far too money orientated. I've heard that from more people around my area too. I made a complaint but the lack of sincerity shone through. Take your pet elsewhere. There are far better and more dedicated vets out there. This place is owned by a huge company that have their fingers in so many pies. they're definitely not the local friendly family vets that they try to promote. My dog almost died through negligence. Shame on them.

Okay, At a push , for boosters and nail clipping!!! And I say, At a push!!! Small minded and not progressive, money orientated rather than animal orientated!!! If you care for your pet, DO NOT USE 'ALBAVET'

Feel very disappointed. Brought my dog for a check up and nail clip. Had to wait ages to be seen even i had an appoitment booked. So finally then we were seen by a vet she was like- oh she has black nails- very bad. She cliped two nails, one of them was bleeding. Yes she has black nails thats why im taking her to vet for prefesionals to do it. Never mind , so my dog had an other problem with her bottom. She said oh thats nothing. But she still stragalling with it- she is in pain. Finally she said she has to go as there is an emergancy in the other room. Paid 30 pounds for two cliped nails and the other problem was left unsolved. So day after visit she broke one of her nails just becouse it was too long. Very disappointed.

We love AlbaVet. We feel that they really care about our little elderly dog. Excellent vets, advice, great reception staff, can't say enough good things about them. We left for a bit as there was a practice closer to us, and we couldn't return faster. We'll not leave again, we think they're great.

i have been attending Alba with my cat Coco for several years now, and am deeply grateful to all the staff there for their kindness and support. Last year (2014) Coco had to have a serious operation on his ear, which although successful, required a lot of follow up care and nursing. My own health was very poor at the time and Albavet were extremely helpful and kind, boarding Coco and taking care of him when it all got too much for me. He became quite a celebrity at the surgery and I was confident that everyone there was doing their best to pull him through his recovery. Coco is now well and happy, and I cannot thank Albavet enough.
