Important Update for Our Equine Clients

We want to let you know that from Monday 1st December 2025, we will no longer be offering equine services. This has been an incredibly difficult decision, driven by ongoing recruitment challenges.

We’re deeply grateful for your trust and support over the years. It’s been a privilege to care for your horses, ponies and donkeys.

To ensure continuity of care, we’ve partnered with Parkside Veterinary Group and Clyde Vet Group. If you're an equine client with us, relevant communications have been sent to you.

Thank you for all your support over the years. It has been a pleasure working with you and your horses.

All the best,
The Tay Valley Vets team
