Online Appointment Booking
We have opened our online appointment booking for routine appointments - general consultations, vaccinations and nail trim appointments as well as continuing to offer repeat prescription requests. If you are unsure what type of appointment you need or for more complicated patients or cases, please call the clinic on 0131 466 7110 to discuss and organise this directly.
We typically have more availability than is shown online. Please call our reception team if you have an urgent concern or cannot find an appointment that suits.
Our online booking tool can also be used to order ongoing medication for your cat. The clinic vets will assess and authorise these requests on a case by case basis. Please select the FIRST available 'appointment' time. Prescriptions will usually be ready to collect 48 HOURS AFTER they have been requested unless otherwise notified. We will not typically contact you about your request unless we require additional information.

"Always excellent treatment, sympathetic and kind and I'm grateful for all your help"
"You are an excellent team and I hope you are all proud of the work you do. I always feel listened to, supported and well advised"
"The culture at The Veterinary Cat Clinic makes sure every cat is special and, of course, to each owner - they are"
"One of the main reasons I will not leave Edinburgh is that I know I won’t find a better veterinary practice elsewhere."
"The Cat Clinic in Edinburgh is simply the best cat vet I have ever used. Every consultation has been calm and time was taken to get to know our cats, not just 'sort them out', which has made a huge difference to the anxiety the cats feel during the consultation. The Veterinary Cat Clinic have provided our cats with great routine and emergency care and I cannot recommend them highly enough."
"I'm always happy with the service I receive, the vets listen to any concerns I might have and even though there are vets far closer to where I live now I'm sticking with these!"
