An independent mixed veterinary practice, serving South Lanarkshire and the Scottish Borders He was succeeded by Wallace W.

Legend has it that the practice was originally established by a Mr McQuatt in around 1905 and run from ’Nithsdale’, a premises at 25 Station Road in Biggar. Peggie in the 1920’s, who was then joined by Duncan Robertson in the 1930’s and Robin McCrone in the 1950’s. Nithsdale continued to be the home of the vets, with the business being run from a room at the back door until 1971, at which point th
e practice was moved to a cramped garage adjacent to the building. John Armstrong and Donald MacDougal joined ARMAC in the early 1970’s and the practice moved to 4 Station Road in Bigger in 1974. A second branch was established at 1 Montgomery Place in Peebles in 1978. Graeme Rodger joined in the mid 1980’s and is now the senior director of the business.

Here is what being a mixed VET 👩🏻⚕️👨🏻⚕️is all about.
This big girl was stuck in a ditch in labour ! She was low in calcium and all her energy was put into her enormous calf!!
Kirstyn 👩🏻⚕️ & Paul 👨🏻⚕️to the rescue !!
These guys with the help of the farmer rescued her out of the ditch and performed a Caesarian section.
Happy Farmer 🧑🌾

🫏 Everyone Meet Jacko! 🫏
In celebration of world donkey 🫏 day we wanted to share some pictures of a very cute recent arrival for our clients Andrew and Sue.
Vet Rachel 👩🏻⚕️ recently visited Jacko and mum Daisy for a health check after his arrival the day before. Thankfully both got a clean bill of health and we can confirm Jacko will grow into those ears!
Did you know that donkeys require regular health care such as dental 🦷 examinations, vaccinations 💉 and worm 🪱 egg counts the same as horses and ponies?
In addition to this signs of illness can be easily missed due to their stoic nature so regular health checks with your vet are very important. If you have any queries in relation to your donkey’s health and management don’t hesitate to contact the surgery on

That's us all set up and looking forward to Peebles Show tomorrow.
Reflecting the wide range of species we work with we're sponsoring Sheep,Cattle and Horse classes as well as the Armac Dog Show (we don't really have a favourite species to work with so decided not to pick just one species to sponsor)!
We'll have the usual home baking and liquid refreshments throughout the day as well as Daisy the cow, our hydraulic tipping crush and a showfield based scavenger hunt!
We're delighted that our very own Graeme Rodger will be judging the Champion of Champions Interbreed sheep and cattle sections as well as the Cattle Young Handlers.
When Paul 👨🏻⚕️met Austin 🦜
Austin came in to be microchipped by Paul, as he is heading to live in Bulgaria with his Owner, we are not jealous at all ! 😉
Austin had to be anaesthetised for the procedure and Paul was the man for the job with this one as he’s loves his exotic animals !!
The procedure went without a hitch as you can see from the pictures and Paul has found a new pal in Austin 👨🏻⚕️🦜.
