🐾 Mobile Vet in Fauldhouse, West Lothian

About Mobile Vets

A mobile vet visits your home to treat, vaccinate and check up on your pets - removing the stress of car journeys and waiting rooms for both you and your animal.

Home visits are especially valuable for elderly pets, nervous animals or households with multiple pets that would be difficult to transport to a surgery.

A good local mobile vet builds a relationship with your animals in their own environment, often spotting things that a stressed pet in a clinic might not show.

About Fauldhouse

Fauldhouse is a village in the southwest of West Lothian, one of the county's former mining settlements that has maintained a strong community identity since the pit closures.

It sits close to the M8 motorway, giving unexpectedly good access to Edinburgh, Glasgow and Livingston for a settlement of its size.

The village has a primary school and local amenities, with West Calder the nearest town for a fuller range of shops and services.

The surrounding moorland offers open walking country and the Union Canal is accessible further north for those who want an easy towpath route.

About West Lothian

(opens in new tab)

West Lothian is a council area in the heart of the central belt, sitting between Edinburgh to the east, Falkirk to the north and North Lanarkshire to the west.

It is a county of contrasts: historic royal burghs like Linlithgow and ancient villages like Torphichen sit alongside the new town of Livingston and the former mining and shale oil communities that shaped the landscape in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Livingston is the county's main centre - Scotland's fifth-largest settlement - but West Lothian's character is defined as much by its smaller towns: Bathgate, Broxburn, Whitburn and Linlithgow each have their own distinct identity.

The oil shale industry, pioneered here in the 1850s by James Young, left a lasting mark on the landscape in the form of distinctive pink bings - the waste heaps of the shale works - that have become recognised landmarks in their own right.

West Lothian has excellent transport connections, with the M8 and M9 crossing the county, two rail lines linking it to Edinburgh and Glasgow and Edinburgh Airport on its eastern edge.
