Services

rouken glen servicesThe veterinary team at Rouken Glen aim to provide the best possible care for our patients and their owners. We believe this is achieved through dedication, conscientiousness, compassion and teamwork, applied equally to patients, owners and fellow members of staff.

Although we have the facilities to help us provide the best possible service, our greatest strength is our staff. Experienced veterinary surgeons are supported by dedicated qualified veterinary nurses, trainees and ancillary staff. As a recognised nurse training centre, we ensure that our trainees receive an up-to-date practical and theoretical education, and we pride ourselves on high patient care standards.

 

Emergencies

Emergencies are handled by Vets Now, a dedicated team of Veterinary Surgeons and Nurses experienced in critical and emergency care. Tel: 0141 332 3212.
 

Home Visits

For most situations where we are treating illness, we feel that the best place for the examination is the Surgery where we have full support staff and facilities. However, we do appreciate that there are some circumstances where home visits are necessary and we always try to accommodate requests for home visits during normal working hours.
 

Nurse Clinics

rouken glen vets nurse clinicsHeld five days a week, our nurses offer advice on preventative health care (worm and flea control, dental care and dietary requirements). They can help with training and behavioural problems, and the treatment of obesity. Nurse clinics are an essential part of our Healthy Pet Club, which provides affordable preventative health care for your pet.
 

Operations

rouken glen vets operationsOperations take place Monday to Friday with admission appointments from 8.30am.

Most patients are able to return home the same day. We strongly recommend the use of pre-operative blood testing to help minimise risks associated with anaesthesia and surgery. All surgical patients are given appropriate drugs to control pain. To make anaesthesia as safe as possible, we monitor all patients very closely during anaesthesia and recovery, using sophisticated electronic equipment.
 

Repeat Prescriptions

Please give us at least 24 hours notice for repeat prescriptions of drugs and food. In accordance with RCVS recommendations, all pets receiving prescription medicines need to be regularly re-examined by a veterinary surgeon.

And remember if you can't make it to the surgery to collect your pet's medication, we can drop it off to you. Just call us and we'll arrange a time that will suit.
