A Glasgow veterinary hospital that was forced to shut down for several months following a blaze has reopened its doors.
McDonald Vets in Scotstoun, part of the Pets’n’Vets family, has resumed a full service of veterinary and nurse consultations including routine, urgent and emergency cases.
The building suffered fire damage in August last year and remained shut for seven months while the repair works took place. No people or animals were injured in the blaze.

Natalie Davis, Clinical Director at Pets'n'Vets, said: " While McDonald Vets Scotstoun was being refurbished, the team temporarily relocated to provide veterinary care at our other practices. They were all desperate to return and welcome back old clients and new. It's great we have been able to reopen and continue providing a high standard of care to patients and clients in the area. The team are all so happy to be back."
As well as consultations, the vet clinic will be available for surgeries including routine neutering, dental work including dental x-rays, lump removals, imaging, emergency procedures and hospitalisation.
There is also a new state-of-the-art laboratory at the Dumbarton Road practice which will help in the diagnosis of injuries and illnesses, including diagnosis through biochemistry, haematology and immunoassay.
Branch manager Karen Busby said: “It’s great to be reopening our doors. We’re all really excited to have a new laboratory, to be welcoming clients back to the practice and having two new members join our dedicated team.”
