Check they are registered with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) and ask about out-of-hours emergency cover before you need it.

About Bathgate
Bathgate is West Lothian's second town, with roots going back to a medieval royal burgh and a history shaped by coal, ironworks and the shale oil industry.
It is associated with James Young, the chemist who pioneered the commercial extraction of paraffin oil in the 1850s - the discovery that created an industry which ran across West Lothian for nearly a century.
Bathgate Academy is one of the county's main secondary schools and the town has a good range of shops, supermarkets and amenities along its main street.
The Bathgate Hills rise to the south and west, offering walking, cycling and open countryside within easy reach of the town centre.
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.
