Parkside Veterinary Group

Parkside Veterinary Group’s six dedicated equine and farm vets provide routine and emergency veterinary care to horses and farm animals in Angus, Tayside, Perthshire and Fife.

Parkside’s equine and farm vets cover their own out-of-hours care during evening and weekends, ensuring clients will always see one of their own vets, whatever time of day or night!

Their services include:

Equine

• Dedicated, purpose-built equine facilities are available at Kings Cross Road, Dundee and Ladybank, Fife – the vets can carry out a wide variety of procedures at both facilities including lameness work ups, reproductive work and advanced dentistry procedures.
• Equine zone visits – on specific dates, the vets at Parkside can carry out routine work for horses at a reduced visit fee (including vaccinations, routine dental work, microchipping etc).
