About Us

We are a well established mixed practice treating both companion animals and livestock

Academy Vet Centre serves a large area of South West Scotland including the Rhins, Machars and areas of South Ayshire. We are a well established mixed practice treating both companion animals and livestock. We have an exceptional team of ten veterinary surgeons who, together with our nursing and admin team, combine experience and expert knowledge with modern, up-to-date ideas and techniques to bring you a comprehensive, professional and caring service at a fair price.

We pride ourselves on providing our own out-of-hours service to our clients, so that your animal will always be seen by one of our vets at our surgery. Academy Veterinary Centre is accredited by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) Practice Standards Scheme, which is a voluntary initiative to certify veterinary practices in the UK. This gives you the peace of mind you are registering with a practice where you will get compassionate, respectful, well-informed and competently delivered treatment whether it be for your new kitten or puppy, a faithful old friend or your best coo!
