    Staff are lovely. Opening hours are unreliable, went today to pick up my dogs flea and worm treatment and it was closed even though they told me on the phone they would be open all week at reduced hours

    Couldn't have been better. My cat was examined thoroughly and carefully by the vet at her appt for her annual vacination and examination. The vet handled my cat so well that she (the cat) stayed calm all the time.

    Abercorn Vets are the best. It was a routine visit for my cat yesterday for her booster. The Gilmerton branch is the closest and where we normally go for routine appointments. The branch is small but very friendly and the vets and reception staff are always happy to see everyone, pet or their human.
