Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the team’s skill and compassion across species, from life‑saving equine surgeries and foal corrections to effective small‑animal procedures and tricky dental cases. Many highlighted clear communication with phone updates, thorough explanations, and the ability to visit hospitalised animals, which helped ease stressful situations. Reviewers also noted friendly, supportive staff (including reception), gentle end‑of‑life care, and a willingness to tailor plans and avoid unnecessary upselling.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
Most reviews are very positive, though a few recurring concerns appear. Several owners reported difficulty getting same‑day appointments due to the clinic being fully booked, and a couple mentioned inconsistent continuity with the same vet. A handful cited communication gaps post‑operatively or during hospital stays, and some raised pricing issues such as unexpected increases, expensive medications, or feeling overcharged. Isolated reports mentioned misdiagnosis or bandaging problems, contrasting with the otherwise strong outcomes reported.
