YouŌĆÖre more likely to buy an illegally bred puppy than you think. Research shows that only 24% of Scots buy from an approved breeder and 1 in 4 (25%) consider using an online advert or social media to buy a puppy, where a large majority of illegally bred puppies are sold.
It's estimated that 1 in 3 illegally bred pups get sick or die in the first year. If youŌĆÖre buying a puppy, itŌĆÖs essential that you do your homework.
You can arrange a completely FREE prepurchase consultatio...n with one of our qualified vet nurses to talk about buying a puppy or any pet. Call us on 01290 550452.

Totally overwhelmed with the skill, compassion and sheer professionalism of Jim Graven-an amazing Vet and absolute gentleman. Can't thank him and the rest of the team enough for looking after Ellie. We're so lucky to have her home tonight with us and it's all thanks to Them

This rating is based on 10+ years and around approximately 30 + visits to the Mauchline branch over that period.



The majority of the time for ŌĆśroutine' visits the service has always been good.



However, on occasions when matters get complicated or things have gone wrong with one of our dogs the advice provided has been exceptional.



There have been a couple of complex operations (removing a tumour from a difficult area), and other difficult to detect problems which have been resolved successfully.



Costs have always been explained up front and have been fair value for the advice, effort and excellent service provided.



ItŌĆÖs not the closest vet to where we live, but in my view definitely worth the journey.

The best vet practice in Ayrshire by a long shot , have been with them for over 20 years and drive past 4 other vets to use them , we have a variety of animals , dogs, cats ,pigs, sheep , horses , these guys are brilliant !

Thank you to Dr Jim Garven, the staff at Mauchline and Kilmarnock for taking such good care of our precious Lily and making her better.

Sadly we had to make the heartbreaking decision of putting our beloved chocolate lab Molly to sleep last week, I would just like to take the time to thank Jim, Laura and all the rest of the staff at the surgery for all the support and care they have gave my girl over the past 6/7 weeks. It was such a difficult time for us and every staff member at the surgery was so patient with my constant questions and phone calls, thank you for all the guidance with every decision we made it was very much appreciated.

On Friday I had to make the hardest decision ever . To get my dads wee candy PTS at the ripe old age of 16

Jim had been seeing her for a few days but helped me make the choice that the time was right . This is a great practice my parent have been with them for over 50 years and now dad has no pets to love and care for ..... So I'm writing this with a massive thanks for the care and dignity Yous have given them through the years

Rip candy

Thanks again ’┐Į’┐Į’┐Į’┐Į

My dog ’┐Į was recently very sick and required a lot of care. The staff and Mauchline was so kind. Receptionists were so helpful and reassuring as I need to start a claim though my pet insurance. This was a Hugh weight off my mind. Vets very attentive esp Jim. Unfortunately my dog required surgery and overnight care in Kilmarnock for a week The staff there was equally attentive. Vets called regularly with updates esp Mary-Jane. All staff were Always helpful if I called. The vets worked hard to find out what was causing her sickness. Thankfully my dog Holly made a recovery. I canŌĆÖt thank you all enough for all the care to Holly and reassurance you provided a very worried owner x

I would like to thank the Mbm vets.

I had 2 of my dogs done . Amazing service wonderful staff



A huge thank you too for sorting my rabbit Thumpers ashes, the help and advice was amazing before he passed away.



Great job thank you to all the wonderful staff

I had to take our wee Roxi down last night to be put to sleep and these vets were amazing even though they should have been shut they Waited on us to bring her down and was very patient and understanding I can't thank these vets enough as you have been amazing with Roxi from her very first injection as a bouncy puppy to her last one. You's have tried everything to make her better but it was not to be we are heartbroken as a family but I just want to thank you for everything last night and today as us keeping her at home was the most important thing to us..

I am truly sorry to say that our beloved wee Barney passed away on 14-OCt-16. Missing him so much. Thank you to Jim and all the staff at MBM Vets for all the loving care and attention he received over the years. Special thanks as well to Vet Mary Jane who did her very best to save him when he was admitted as an emergency. Mary Jane has since met with me and patiently went over all the details surrounding Barney's illness. We are truly grateful. Will love you for ever my wee Soul Mate,

Not certain why this post is showing on FB as being posted in JUN-15.

Honestly can't praise and thank all the vets and nurses enough for their support, hardwork and excellence. It's because of them that our boy is here today. We brought him in early Thursday morning with the worst case of poisoning the vet had seen, it was extremely close to loosing our poor boy but some how the staff were able to save him and he is now well on the way to full recovery. We were kept up to date every step of they way and they were so patient, and helpful, every time we called. Always taking time to answer any questions we had and keep our minds at rest with his progress.



We owe our boys life to them and there are no words enough to express just how thankful and grateful we are to everyone at the MBM vets (and Vets Now) in both Mauchline and Kilmarnock, they are truly worth their weight in gold.

Have used this vets for 15 years. They have always given top notch care and attention to our pets and when we had to let our beautiful girl go it was done with such dignity and care. CanŌĆÖt recommend them enough.

Great vet to deal with. Amazing with Skye when shes been in for anything

Great practice all the vet's are excellent , wouldn't go anywhere else.

Friendly accommodating staff who provide an excellent service no matter what time of day they are needed for our much loved furry family members ’┐Į’┐Į

Everyone so nice and helpful and were so nice when we had to put our 7yr old Lab to sleep.Jim Garven is a brilliant vet and it's a great practice.

Couldn't thank Jim Garven and his team at MBM enough for all there hard work and care,taken on my boy bud with a very difficult situated injury and giving him all the help he needs to hopefully get back on his feet. Thank you very much!

Cannot recommend this vets enough! Been with them for 10years, sadly had to put down our beloved pet ISLA, Jim amd the rest of the staff have shown nothing but true professionalism and care throughout! Thanks to Jim especially who made the task feel so easy and peaceful, a vet who really cares for what he does
