About Veterinary Care in Caithness
Caithness currently has two veterinary clinics, so owners are choosing from a small field and the public evidence is sparse, with only four Google reviews county-wide. What stands out is access rather than volume: both clinics open at weekends, and each of the county’s two towns has at least one practice.

For pet owners, Caithness offers a small field of veterinary choice. The review base is too thin to separate options with much confidence, but the available signals point to a broad service mix rather than a very narrow offer.
Geographically, both Wick and Thurso have a clinic, so the two main towns look evenly served. Outside those centres, travel time is likely to be the main deciding factor because there are no extra town-based alternatives elsewhere in Caithness.
The ranked comparison table shows the listed clinics side by side, with their ranking position and whether a listing is verified. In Caithness, none of the listings is verified, so basic details are worth double-checking before you travel. Both clinics open at weekends and both offer emergency care, but that does not confirm overnight 24-hour cover, so ask how out-of-hours care is handled.
When choosing between vets in Caithness, start with the basics: which town is easier to reach, how same-day cases are managed, and what nurse support is available, since both are VN training clinics. With so little public feedback, a short phone call may tell you more than ratings alone.
