The practice has been established in the communities of Kirkintilloch and Lenzie for over 40 years. Martin Vets is located in a picturesque location on the banks of the Forth and Clyde canal within walking distance of public transport as well as excellent road links throughout the central belt of Scotland.

We have 4 consulting rooms, a welcoming, bright waiting room, central prep room with lab, 2 theatres, separate x-ray room and dedicated dental suite, separate large dog, and cat wards as well as an isolation room. The building itself was voted overall winner of the Veterinary Practice Design awards in 2013 and benefits from copious natural light owing to floor to ceiling windows. We benefit from plenty of free on-street parking as well as demarcated parking for clients.

Join a dynamic team that thrives on collaboration and patient-centred care. With 10 vets, 4 nurses, 1 student nurse and 9 members of support staff, you'll be part of a close-knit community that values hard work, multitasking, and teamwork.
