Clients in Banffshire can access our RCVS-accredited emergency facilities at any hour, with dedicated out-of-hours support from Vets Now in Aberdeen for small animals after 7pm weekdays and weekends.
Vaccinations
Comprehensive vaccination programs for dogs, cats, and rabbits form a core component of preventative care.

Vaccinations against leptospirosis, feline leukaemia, and other preventable diseases are administered by qualified veterinary surgeons in all our premises.
