Company

Greenside Veterinary Practice has stood for generations at the heart of the local community, providing professional veterinary services to the Scottish Borders.

We have an experienced team of seven veterinary surgeons, all with specialised interests, working along with registered nurses and support staff to ensure the highest possible quality of care for your animal.

The first practice in St. Boswells was opened in 1990 by Bob Connachie in a house which once stood next to the Main Street Trading bookshop.

In 2007 the practice moved to its present site at Greenside Farm and was carefully designed to provide state of the art facilities.

Neil Cameron and Andrew Armitage are the co-owners and are determined to remain at the heart of the local community while striving to offer the highest possible standards of care to our clients and their animals.

Greenside Vets are not part of a large multi practice corporate group. The vets are only answerable to their clients, not shareholders. They are not restricted with regards drug choice when discussing with owners the most appropriate treatment for their animals.

A branch surgery in Jedburgh also operates alongside the main surgery in St. Boswells.
