Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners frequently praised the clinic’s ability to see pets quickly, often the same day or at short notice, and even opening early for an emergency. Many described the staff as friendly, caring and helpful, with a nurse who put nervous dogs at ease, and noted fair or low pricing and clear, practical advice. Travellers appreciated emergency boarding, follow‑up support, and even having supplies organised and sent by transport over long distances.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
Reviews were mixed, with repeated concerns about cleanliness and facility condition, including reports of cluttered and unsanitised areas, an untidy yard and noisy kennels. Several comments mentioned brusque or inconsistent bedside manner, rough handling, poor communication, and inflexibility with handling large dogs. A few serious allegations related to anaesthesia and monitoring (e.g., lack of intubation or inadequate monitoring) and distressing outcomes, plus one report of boarding refusal tied to a local dispute. While many experiences were positive, these issues were raised by multiple reviewers.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- Call ahead for availability—walk‑ins and urgent cases are often accommodated the same day, but confirming helps.
- If your pet needs anaesthesia, ask about the drugs used, monitoring (including blood pressure) and whether they will be intubated.
- Discuss handling preferences for large or anxious pets and request floor exams or alternative restraint if needed.
- Request a written estimate before procedures, especially if sedation may be required.
- If considering boarding, ask to discuss kennel conditions and noise levels and whether they can meet your pet’s needs.
