Acupet Vet Scotland

06/05/2025

Hello, I’m Niamh

A vet with a passion for pain management, animal ethics and welfare and geriatric patient care. Outside of work you’ll find me spending as much time in nature:be it wild swimming, wading in lochs, foraging in the woods or off on hikes in the nearby forests and hills.

My first experience of acupuncture was when I was applying to vet school I attended a vet clinic and got to see a dog having acupuncture. I loved how the vet focused on a whole patient approach and created a supportive and calm environment for the owner.

From then on, I knew I wanted to bring this to my future patients and throughout vet school I became very interested in complimentary therapies and pain management. Years later after graduating as a qualified vet and working in general practice, I underwent training in acupuncture with the Western Veterinary Acupuncture Group and most recently training in veterinary herbal medicine with Veterinary Herbal Training.

Now running my own complimentary therapy clinic, I have seen first hand the difference complimentary therapies can make to an animals lives and believe they have a firm place alongside traditional veterinary medicine. That’s why I place high value on collaborating with your primary vet to keep them informed and work with them to create a personalised plan for your beloved companion.

I pride myself on truly listening to my clients and tailoring my approach to my patients individual needs as well as considering the needs of yourself, the caregiver. I appreciate animal health concerns can be stressful, so I always endeavour to make your time at my clinic a calm and peaceful one.

🐾Price Increase 🐾

FROM THE 1ST OF JULY 💕🐾

Unfortunately, due to multiple rising costs. I have had to make the decision to increase my prices by 13.5% absorbing the other percentage increase myself.

I have tried very hard to delay this increase for as long as I could but unfortunately my business cannot survive without it.
I am very grateful for the support I have and the opportunity to help all pets great and small through acupuncture, dermatology, veterinary herbal medicine and now also general veterinary care.

Thank you to all of my lovely clients , I am entirely grateful for the opportunity to help your pets. 🐾
