Vaccinations
We are currently carrying out essential first and second vaccination for puppies and kittens.
Non-essential booster vaccinations are being postponed for the remainder of January. Please rest assured that we have a three month window after their due date to administer these.
Neutering
We are currently not performing routine spays and castrates in our practices.
Reducing contact
Due to the current lockdown measures introduced by the Scottish Government, it is now against the law to leave your house for non-essential purposes. For the continued safety of our staff and clients we are currently restricting clients access to our practices
Phone and Video Consultations
To comply with non-essential travelling; we are recommending a phone or video consultation for non-emergency and non-urgent consultations. These are charge at the normal price for professional veterinary advice.
If the vet believes that a physical examination is required as part of that consultation, they will book you in for the same day and you will not need to pay an additional consultation fee.
If the vet requires to see your pet again on another day for a re-examination, or a follow-up phone consultation, that will be charged as a follow-up consultation.
If you are able to provide us with a photograph of the area which is of concern, you can upload this here: wallacevets.com/upload
