West Port Veterinary Clinic - Drumbrae

West Port Veterinary Clinic – Drumbrae is part of Westport Veterinary Clinic, described on its website as a locally owned independent small-animal practice with three branches and nearly 30 years in operation. The clinic appears set up for both routine care and more involved investigations/procedures, with on-site facilities listed such as a sterile theatre, lab, digital and dental x-ray, ultrasound, and an endoscope, plus dedicated dog and cat wards and recovery kennels.

From the latest written reviews available to us, owners repeatedly mention gentle handling with cats, follow-up communication after procedures (including a call a few days after neutering), and being given clear aftercare instructions and options with costs explained up front.
