Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the caring, compassionate approach and friendly, professional team. Many highlight the vet’s experience, clear explanations and effective outcomes, with some noting help in emergencies and being fitted in during busy periods. Value for money is a recurring theme, with several calling the prices reasonable, and there are positive mentions of after-hours assistance. Location and parking were also appreciated.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
A small number of reviews raised serious concerns about medical judgement, including a snakebite case where phone advice was seen as inadequate and a puppy’s seizures initially attributed to low blood sugar before another clinic diagnosed brain damage. One person also noted they couldn’t be seen at short notice because the clinic was handling an emergency. Aside from these, feedback is overwhelmingly positive, with most comments praising care, professionalism and value.
