The amazing team at Greyfriars gave our dog a far better final year than we ever thought possible. Thanks to their expert care and personalised treatment, he stayed active, comfortable, and happy for much longer than expected. He had hind-leg weakness and, over the course of a year, swam once or twice a week. The care he received was exceptional—kind, skilled, and genuinely life-enhancing. Suzanna did a very thorough assessment early on and worked closely with our vet to get him on the right medication. That made a huge difference, and I was especially grateful for her support in his final days. Kate was a brilliant help with his physiotherapy - she was inventive at introducing exercises into his routine so they were fun and easy to carry out, and had thoughtful advice about how best to manage his walks and daily activity. All the hydrotherapy team were amazing; he often swam with Kirsten, Becca, and Leanne, whose kindness and encouragement made a big difference to him. He had had a bad experience at another local centre and wasn’t keen at first, but their kindness and patience completely changed that. He came to love his sessions, even if he firmly refused the underwater treadmill! Their ability to adapt things to what worked best for him made all the difference. Tanya made booking easy and stress-free, always friendly and efficient. The whole team drew on their extensive experience helping other dogs to give him the best possible care. As he grew older, the support I received from the team at Greyfriars made a huge difference to both him and me. Their practical advice, positivity, and compassion were a constant source of strength. Thank you, Greyfriars!

I visited recently for a work experience day. All the staff were extremely friendly and polite. All visitors received a warm welcome and their pets couldn't wait for their hydrotherpy session. Onsite the also have a veterinary physiotherapist and laser treatment so the patients can receive their care all on the same site
