About
A Modern & caring Practice in Dalkeith
Market Cross Veterinary Clinic is a family-run, small animal practice established in 2003. We provide outstanding clinical services and state-of-the-art facilities including digital x-ray, ultrasound, video endoscopy, soft tissue, orthopaedic and ocular surgery. Our clinic was one of the first practices to enrol in the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons Practice Standards Scheme which is designed to give you peace of mind that we provide the very best facilities and care. We are a nurse training practice and very much enjoy this teaching role. We pioneered a popular preventative health programme- the Market Cross Happy Pet Club
which is improving the health of animals all over the Midlothian, Musselburgh and Edinburgh area. Most importantly of all we are a friendly and knowledgeable team
that takes the health and wellness of your pet very seriously.
"Wonderful care for our cat Cookie. She is doing brilliantly, thank you."

"Thank you for the lovely card following the sudden loss of our beautiful GSD Heidi on 26 July.
Rebecca and Averil - thank you for the care and compassion shown not only to Heidi but to us as a family during which was a very difficult and emotional time. We miss her dearly x"
