We have been with Flynn Vets for 12 years. Thank you to all of you for your care of our rescue lurchers. You have been constantly kind and helpful. Our lurcher Danny recently had an ulcer on his eye, thanks to Terry and the team at Flynn vets Commons Brae, Danny’s eye has healed after surgery and the dedicated care from the whole team. Your care and kindness is never taken for granted. Thank you.

I have always found everyone in the Commons Brae branch very helpful. They have continuously provided fantastic care for my dog. Just recently one of the vets went above and beyond finding out information for me and another member of staff gave advice for grooming. I have no hesitation in recommending Flynn Vets.

I can honestly say that as a family we could not recommend another vet as highly as the team at Flynns! Our beautiful German Shepherd girl Lola became very ill, very fast and it was apparent she wasn't going to get better as she had been diagnosed with cancer that rapidly took hold of her. The team at Flynns did everything they could to help Lola, they eased her pain and discomfort, allowing us to have a week with her to say goodbye properly. She was our world and we were able to take her to her happy place, the beach and a few little walks in the park and for her to have all her favourite foods and treats and best of all to get all the love we could give her! When the time came to say goodbye, they gave her the dignity she deserved and treated her with so much respect and love too! They made what was the hardest day for us easier and Michelle gave us paw prints and a cutting of her hair in a little bottle. They truly felt more like friends than vets and had so much empathy for what we were all going through and most importantly for Lola! They also sent us a beautiful sympathy card a week later. Thank you so much for your kindness and support! Jane, Lola and family. xx - Jane

We've had a really great experience here with our elderly dog Rosie. Her original vet did not want to risk surgery for a large splenic tumour and we were reluctantly resigned to losing her. However a few months later as she deteriorated, we sought a second opinion with Dan at Flynn vets.This resulted in a successful operation to remove her huge tumour which subsequently showed no sign of malignancy. Seven months on and Rosie is active again and loving life. Dan took time to explain the possible risks and benefits of surgery and gave no guarantees as to the outcome but at all times we felt he had our pet's welfare at heart. The whole team at Flynns have given great care to a much loved pet and have hopefully enabled us to share in a few more of her twilight years.
