US-style ‘supervet’ comes to Shawlands
Aiming to have nursing staff living on the new Pets n Vets premises, the 7,500sqft facility offers a full portfolio of services from its premises in Shawlands.
The current Pollokshaws Road practice will be reassigned as a dedicated vaccine clinic.

“It will enable us to care for animals 24 hours a day as there will be nursing staff living on-site so that animals can receive continuous treatment through the night.”
The cat examination room will have steps leading to a fake tree instead of the usual consultation table.
Mr Jackson added: “This is an ultra-modern arrangement which is aimed at allowing us to examine cats in a more natural way.

The supervet is expected to be ready for operation this coming May.
