Thrums Vets: Caring for the pets of Angus and East Perthshire since 1948
We have cared for over 50,000 pets since we first opened our doors in 1948, and as Scotland’s largest independent group, we look forward to making friends with many, many more.
We’re very proud that all our team members are pet owners themselves – between us we have more than 70 pets, from dogs and cats, to chickens and… peacocks!
Our clients have pets because they want to care for and share their lives with a companion. We understand the importance and strength of this bond, and do everything we can to help you to keep your pet healthy and happy throughout every stage of their life.
To do that, we keep our values at the core of our practice: integrity, community, excellence, happiness and friendship.
Compassionate vets, state-of-the-art facilities
We offer a wide range of services and have fantastic facilities and equipment, allowing us to provide the highest standards of care and support. Our practices in Kirriemuir, Blairgowrie, Scone and Forfar are at the heart of our local communities providing a wide range of preventative healthcare and emergency critical care whenever you and your pet need us.
We are always looking to innovate, and being independent means that we can make decisions locally to do just that. For example, we are one of the few practices in Scotland who can offer laparoscopy, otherwise known as keyhole surgery, and we can tackle advanced orthopaedic surgical procedures and we are leading members of the XLVets community.
As well as this, we encourage all of our clients to join our Practice Plan – exclusive to Thrums Vets – which spreads the cost of preventative care and saves you money, ensuring we can provide patients with the best possible care.

Our Services
Vaccinations
We provide vaccinations appropriate for each of our patients and their risk level, based on a chat with our clients about their pet’s lifestyle.
Ticks, worms and fleas
We provide a bespoke parasite prevention programme for all our patients, helping to limit our impact on the environment.
Neutering
We discuss each individual case with our clients to work out the best plan of action for when to neuter a pet, helping to avoid health concerns later in life and preventing unwanted pregnancies.
Out of hours and emergency services
We provide our own out of hours and emergency service, 24/7 365 days a year, so that you will always see a Thrums vet with access to your pet’s clinical records.
Surgery
Our vets are experienced in performing many surgeries, from minor lump removals to more advanced orthopaedic surgeries.
Laparoscopy
We offer laparoscopy, commonly known as keyhole surgery, which means we are able to reduce invasiveness for some surgeries, reducing pain and recovery times.
Endoscopy
We can investigate stomach and gut problems without the need to go straight to surgery, meaning a quicker recovery and less pain for our patients.
In-house lab
We have in-house blood testing equipment which means that for the vast majority of cases we are able to get results within a few minutes, and we can use external labs for more complex cases.
Dental work
We have dental x-ray facilities so we can fully assess cases before deciding upon treatment options.
Referrals
We have a network of referral facilities who can take on complicated or advanced procedures we cannot cater for in-house, such as behavioural referrals and spinal surgery.
