Marie Allen

Veterinary Surgeon

Before having qualified from Glasgow in 2006 I spent time seeing practice at Betavet and it’s only natural I came back here to work in 2015! After almost 20 years qualified I am still interested in all areas of veterinary medicine but mainly for me I enjoy helping the animals have as stress free a visit as possible and meeting their owners! In veterinary practice there is a huge variety of work which means no two days are the same however I do enjoy cardiology, having grown up with Cavaliers King Charles Spaniels that are genetically prone to heart disease. I also find feline medicine particularly fascinating as their physiology is so different to dogs in a large variety of ways. And last but not least I’m always delighted to see rabbits when they come in having undertaken courses in rabbit medicine. Mostly the satisfaction of examining a patient to find the root of the problem and finding a way to manage it to help both animal and owner makes my day. Away from work my time is spent with my two ponies and walking my two dogs, Monty a very excitable but loving working Cocker Spaniel and Skye, a Collie x Springer who loves to bark and keep Monty in check! I enjoy exploring new places and finding quiet pubs to have some nice food with my husband. He’s trying to get me into golf but still yet to book a lesson!! I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends soon!

I would highly recommend this practice. The receptionists are lovely and I have always been treated with respect. I never have to wait long for an appointment. I put my complete trust in the vets there and know I am receiving the best advice (having had a bad experience at a different practice elsewhere, I can appreciate the difference).

Have been using this vet for just over a year after it was recommended to me. Over that time, each appointment was met with great care and empathy towards both my dog and myself. Took my wee dog Milly on the 26th June following an eye injury and the appointment was the usual I had come to expect. Returned for follow up on 28th where the appointment was carried out by a vet I hadn't come across before. The appointment was, I felt, rushed and hurried to an extent I could see my dog was visibly stressed. No explanation was given to explain what was actually being done and only a list of commands for aftercare were given but not in a manner I had come to expect from the practice. My wee dog actually ran all the way back to the car that day and that is something she has never done before. Took her home but they're was complications so had to go back and asked for a different vet. When I get another dog I can't see me returning to this vet with worry about a repeat.

I was worried about my Border Collie Bonnie who wasn’t getting over a bout of stomach upset. She seemed to get worse quite quickly so I phoned the practice and got an appointment within the hour. She has an infection and now after just 24 Hours I can see she is on the mend. I’ve been using this practice for over thirty years and I always get good service and care for my animals. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Great vet if you don’t have an emergency. Everyone is super friendly and does a good job but in case of emergency you will have to go to Glasgow, so I’d hope for you that it’s not too urgent and that you have a car
