Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the friendly, compassionate team and the way vets and nurses handle pets gently and with patience. Many mention clear explanations, great communication and follow‑up calls, plus successful outcomes from procedures such as patella surgery, lump removals and even acupuncture. Short‑notice bookings, weekend availability and helpful emergency support were noted repeatedly, and the clinic is often described as clean and professional.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
Most reviews are very positive, but a minority raised price and value concerns, with some feeling pressured toward extra tests or medications. A few reports mentioned inconsistent diagnostic thoroughness (including a delayed thyroid diagnosis and one case not taken seriously) and an instance of being turned away during an emergency. There was an isolated comment about cleanliness slipping and a rude reception experience, and grooming appointments can be hard to secure at preferred times. These issues were the exception rather than the norm.
