About Us

Abbey Veterinary Clinics is a well-established mixed practice located in the idyllic county of Angus, with branches in Forfar and Arbroath. We are in close proximity to the beautiful glens with major cities such Dundee, Aberdeen, and Edinburgh not too far away either. Our split is 90% small animal and 10% large animal. Both clinics are fully equipped to provide excellent patient care and Arbroath has recently been renovated, and there is more improvement to come across both sites. Both clinics have digital x-ray equipment, im3 dental machines, and idexx laboratories.
We operate and consult in both clinics daily and see a variety of patients/cases. We provide our own out of hours cover to the local community and pride ourselves on still being able to do so.

About the Team and Culture

Our close-knit team is made up of 16, made up of 2 Clinical Directors, 3 Vets, 4 Registered Veterinary Nurses, 1 SVN, 1 ACA, 3 Receptionists, 1 Administrator, and 1 Practice Manager. We all share the same goal and are hoping to find someone to share in the success with. We are hoping our new vet will be able to slot into the team and bring some new ideas to our practice meetings which usually involve a delicious meal. When we're not talking business, we usually find a nice place to host a team gathering.
