Thistle Vets Ltd

Thistle Vets Ltd describes itself as an independent veterinary practice. Recent reviews mention care for small pets (a guinea pig) as well as cats, and one owner specifically describes a vet nurse (Jenny) taking time to listen through worries and walk them through options for an older pet. Reviews also show mixed experiences around end-of-life decisions: one reviewer states “put my cat down” without further context, while others report successful treatment and feeling their pet was well looked after. One owner calls it “expensive but worth it.” The clinic is also listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility.
