Home visit vets Serving Edinburgh & surrounding areas

Home

Vetkind Edinburgh is a caring and convenient mobile vets, serving pets in Edinburgh and surrounding areas. Run by two experienced vets, Martha and Mhairi, our mission is to provide a stress-free and compassionate alternative to the traditional veterinary clinic. By visiting you and your pet in the comfort of your own home, your pet can get the care he or she needs without stress or hassle. Vetkind gives you a personal service, creating a lasting bond between your vet, you and your pet.

Here’s five great reasons for you and your pet to use Vetkind

  1. Home visits – Vet care in your home is the kind thing to do for your pet as it minimises stress.
  2. Long consults – Vetkind ensures you and your pet get the time you need. Our consultations last 30-45 minutes – much longer than the usual offering in a traditional practice.
  3. A personal service – Our personal, home-based service creates a lasting bond between your vet, you and your pet.
  4. Online booking – We are one of the few practices that offer convenient online booking of appointments.
  5. Independent practice – Vetkind is one of the few practices left in Edinburgh that is independent and not run by a large corporate group.

Mhairi Fleming

Mhairi qualified as a vet in 2004 from Glasgow University. Since then she has worked in practice around the UK but decided to settle in Edinburgh. She has also volunteered her time in many charity clinics and wildlife projects, mainly in Asia. She enjoys being a mobile vet as it allows her the time and space required to really get to know an animal and owner and allows case continuity that can sometimes be difficult in a traditional practice setting. She has an interest in geriatric medicine, ophthalmology and wildlife medicine. When not at work she spends time trying to keep her young family in order and walking her dog Cody.

Martha Murphy

Martha graduated in 2008 from Edinburgh University. She spent a few years in small animal practice before pursuing her special interest in feline medicine by taking a job at an exclusively feline clinic, and completing a distance learning feline medicine certificate from the University of Sydney. While she adores all animals, she continues to nurture her interest in all things cat, and is passionate about reducing the stresses of veterinary care for her patients. Over the last few years Martha has loved working as a home visit vet to be able to get to know her patients in their own environment and form strong bonds with their owners too. In her spare time, with the help of her partner and three lovely stepdaughters, she enjoys looking after her lively furry / spikey / scaly menagerie which includes her two cats Walter and Ernest, a rescue African Pygmy Hedgehog, and a marine aquarium.

What do our customers say?

"Martha provided an excellent kind, caring and compassionate service to us in our time of need when she helped my Issy pass away, would highly recommend Vetkind."

– Kelly

"Excellent service. Highly recommend. They love your animals. I wouldn’t take my cat to any vet other than Vetkind. They come to my home and attend to my cat. Totally stress free for us both. Wonderful."

– Marilyn

"Thank you Mhairi! Excellent treatment and peace of mind. It's great to not have to bundle the cat into a carrier, will definitely use again!"

– Hugh

"Absolutely lovely vet. Came on time, was very kind and bribed the cat with treats. No rush at all, sat and had a nice chat to address all of my concerns. Worth every penny and what a relief for my cat, who didn't need to got to a clinic. Thank you!"

Meet some of our happy pets

Red, Colinton

Red always used to get anxious going to the vets. Now, Mhairi visits Red in his home for his annual boosters, and occasionally when he hurts his shoulder, an old injury that sometimes flares up when he runs round too quickly!

Yasmin, Morningside

Yasmin is terrified of travelling in the car to the clinic. She has high blood pressure and has it checked in the comfort of her own home every few months by Mhairi. A big paws up for not having to go in the cat carrier from Yasmin!

Leila, Musselburgh

Leila loves when Martha comes to visit. Leila suffers from car sickness and gets herself into quite a state when she has to travel which is stressful for her and her owner. They have Martha over for Leila's annual booster and to apply flea and worm treatments as Leila is a bit of a hunter! She absolutely loves Martha's calming spray and the cat treats she carries in her bag.

Angus, Leith

Angus the cheeky ferret developed a problem with his adrenal glands, causing discomfort and hair loss. Martha visited him at home and fitted an implant to reduce his hormone levels. Although there isn't a cure for his condition, he has more energy and his hair is growing back. And as a bonus, no car journey to the vets!
