Coronavirus update
The ongoing situation regarding COVID-19 is impacting all of us and in this time of uncertainty we wanted to reassure you that providing a referral service for veterinary surgeons, and care for clients and their pets remains our top priority.
At the moment we are remaining open for business but as you would expect we are putting in place a number of steps to ensure that we reduce the risk of virus transmission. The health and wellbeing of our patients, staff and the wider community is paramount.
We would ask that if you are experiencing symptoms or are in self-isolation that you do not attend the practice in person.
If you are attending for an appointment we would ask that you remain in your car and call us when you arrive. We would then call you and have a consultation over the phone and then we will ask you to bring your pet to the front door of the practice. We will take your pet inside for examination and then call you when we are finished so you can collect your pet and discuss our findings. We understand there may be some pets that are anxious about this and we will attempt to find a way around this wherever possible.
For clients who are unable to travel or attend in person for any reason, we are in the process of setting up an online tele-consultation service. Please contact reception if this is something that you would like to make use of.
We currently encourage card payment rather than cash to help prevent cross infection.
Thank you for your support over the coming days and weeks. We will keep in touch with you should the situation change further. Please keep an eye on our website or follow us on Facebook for the latest updates.

The Dermatology Referral Service is a veterinary practice based in Glasgow with a branch in Aberdeen that is solely dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of skin and ear disease in pets and other animal species. The practice is staffed by Peter Forsythe and Hilary Jackson, recognised specialists in the field of Veterinary Dermatology who between them have over 40 years of experience in the diagnosis and management of all types of skin and ear disease. Please follow this link to see just a few of the cases we have treated recently.
Your first port of call if your pet has a skin or ear problem is your own vet. Many skin diseases are straightforward to diagnose and treat but others are more complex or long standing, In such cases, your veterinary surgeon may recommend a referral to a specialist practice such as ourselves for more detailed investigation and a full discussion of treatment options.
Please note that we are a referral practice which means that we can only see your pet following referral from your veterinary surgeon. Within these web pages you can find information on our service but please give us a call if you wish to discuss any aspect of what we do.
