Legend has it that the practice was originally established by a Mr McQuatt in around 1905 and run from ’Nithsdale’, a premises at 25 Station Road in Biggar. Peggie in the 1920’s, who was then joined by Duncan Robertson in the 1930’s and Robin McCrone in the 1950’s. Nithsdale continued to be the home of the vets, with the business being run from a room at the back door until 1971, at which point th

e practice was moved to a cramped garage adjacent to the building. John Armstrong and Donald MacDougal joined ARMAC in the early 1970’s and the practice moved to 4 Station Road in Bigger in 1974.

🦷🦷Small animal dental update.🦷🦷

At the end of 2024 we had dental x-ray equipment installed at both the Biggar and Peebles branches.

This equipment was installed as some studies show that not using dental x-rays can result in 25-40% of important clinical pathology being missed.

As importantly as the new equipment all our vets have now undertaken extra dental training with recognised specialists in order to optimise dental treatment for our patients.

We are trialling during the months of September and October giving our vets the ability to use dental x-rays (where necessary) at no cost to you as clients.

The above is part of a clinical audit procedure to see if automatically using dental x-rays leads to better clinical outcomes.

Pictured below is Indi from Peebles who benefited from the use of dental x-rays this month.

We had a fantastic day on Saturday at Peebles Show. It was good to see so many clients in a social rather than a veterinary setting.🍻🍾

Given the number of rosettes clients picked up (we stopped counting at 40) it's no surprise everyone was in good spirits!

🏆A few (select) photos of the winners below🏆

Special mention to Pippa and Mouse who were overall champions of the Armac sponsored dog show before going on to be Reserve Champion of the whole show!!!

As well as the show we had a busy day on call in Peebles with 4 successful calvings, 3 equine emergencies and 2 dog emergencies (well done to the sheep, pigs, cats and small furries for behaving themselves!).

A big thank you to the show committee as the amount of work undertaken to make the show the huge success that it is cannot be underestimated. We're looking forward to next year already!

🐶🐱🐴🐰 As most of you are probably aware we have been designing our own Health plan for your pets and at long last they are ready for sign-ups!

They won't be for everyone but for some it will allow you to spread the costs of preventative health costs for your pets.

Of particular note are the "complete" dog and cat plans which include all consults (fair usage policy applies).

The fair usage policy is exactly as it sounds- if the plans are used as intended all consults will be included on the plan.🐶🐱🐴🐰

Meet the lovely Francis who had a snooze whilst our Peebles vet Rachel trimmed her trotters. She really enjoyed her manicure 💅 and belly scratches.
