Glasgow has one of Scotland's deepest veterinary networks — Vets Now opened the country's first dedicated 24/7 pet emergency hospital here in 2009, and a second independent emergency clinic on Rosyth Road provides backup. Two PDSA Pet Hospitals serve low-income clients but require advance registration. English service is universal; visitors with EU pet passports are routinely accepted, though post-Brexit Animal Health Certificates apply for cross-border arrival.
