Bridge Vets

Bridge Vets is a veterinary practice in Aberdeen and is part of IVC Evidensia. It sees routine cases for cats and dogs as well as some more complex work, with reviews often highlighting gentle handling of nervous pets and compassionate support during end-of-life decisions. Recent feedback also includes examples of surgery and diagnostics, while a smaller number of reviewers raise concerns about pricing, medication costs, billing follow-up and continuity between clinicians.

Services

• •Routine care for cats and dogs: Reviews mention check-ups, first kitten appointments, vaccinations, anal gland care, nail clips, and worming or parasite-control discussions.
• •Diagnostics and investigations: Examples in reviews include blood testing, a fluorescein eye test, and x-rays. One exotic-pet owner said the practice arranged an x-ray for a snake at short notice and discussed referral if surgery was needed.
• •Surgery and follow-up care: Recent reviews describe a five-hour intestinal operation for a young dog, with close monitoring afterwards, and another owner mentions being impressed with a cat’s earlier surgery.
• •End-of-life care: This is a consistent theme in reviews, with owners describing detailed discussions of options, unpressured decision-making, swift pain relief, time alone afterwards, and keepsakes such as pawprints and fur clippings.
• •Emergency care: Emergency care is mentioned on the website, although specific arrangements are not set out in the information available.

Pricing

Published prices suggest the clinic sits below average, based on a partial sample of comparable services. Review comments on cost are mixed: one recent reviewer mentioned “good deals,” while others felt some consultations, medicines and recommended tests were expensive.

• •Reviewers mention £61 for a consultation, £10 for a fluorescein eye test, and £85 for a blood test.
• •One complaint referred to a quote of over £1000 for extensive testing and a check-up, though the same reviewer said a later email suggested starting with a simpler test first.
• •Another review reported a total bill of £187 for a short visit that included worming tablets and an eye assessment.
• •Medication pricing was criticised in one review, which compared Maxitrol Drops 0.1% (5ml) at £33.88 and Credelio Cat 2–8kg at £61.74 with lower online prices.
