Happy Pets as Westport Vets opens new Winchburgh branch!

Westport Veterinary Clinic opened a new veterinary practice branch in Winchburgh on Monday 12th January 2026.

The Independently owned practice now has four branches, with others in Linlithgow, South Queensferry and Edinburgh - as well as operating Westport 24, their own Out-of-Hours Emergency Service.

They also have a custom built Cat Clinic at the Linlithgow branch, and hold the ISFM Gold Cat Friendly Clinic Accreditation - awarded by the International Society of Feline Medicine to veterinary clinics - ensuring the highest level of care for your cats on every visit.

Registered clients are able to use all four branches, and have Team Westport available to them 24/7, 365 days, with Westport 24 which operates out of their Linlithgow branch out of hours.

Expanding the business to Winchburgh has been a work in progress since 2025, with building renovations being completed to convert the property into two consulting rooms, a procedure room, pharmacy, kennels, in-house laboratory and a staff room. The Winchburgh branch is easily accessible for clients with disabled access and near-by parking, on street parking and additional parking available at the nearby Sainsbury's Local.

They have increased staffing, employing additional veterinary surgeons, registered veterinary nurses and two part-time veterinary receptionists, these roles support both the new branch and the wider practice. Expanding the team also means they have been able to extend opening hours at their Drumbrae branch in Edinburgh. They are also in the process of expanding the Westport 24 team, with the out-of-hours emergency service being increasingly busy since it launched in April 2025.

Managing Director and Senior Veterinary Surgeon, Stuart McMorrow, cut the ceremonial ribbon for the official opening of the Winchburgh branch.

Stuart McMorrow, says: "This expansion is about serving our clients better and improving access to care locally, while also strengthening our Westport 24 emergency service. Winchburgh is a growing area, and opening a branch here allows us to be closer to the clients and pets we already care for. By registering with Westport Vets, clients also gain access to our in-house 24-hour emergency service, ensuring continuity of care day and night.”

Westport Vets will be hosting an official open day event at the new Winchburgh branch on Saturday 7th March 2026 - official times of the event will be advertised on their social media platforms.

Clients registered at Westport Vets have the option to attend all four branches for appointments, and they are always welcoming new clients!
