Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the vet’s compassion, calm manner with nervous pets, and clear, unhurried communication. Many report strong clinical outcomes, including swift detection and successful treatment of paralysis ticks, accurate diagnoses, and impressive mobility improvements through physiotherapy, laser, chiropractic and rehabilitation work. Several reviewers noted thoughtful follow-ups and regular updates during hospitalisation. Long‑term clients highlight professionalism and a sense that pets are treated like family.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
Reviews are overwhelmingly positive, but a few serious concerns were raised. Two reviewers say an ear foreign body (grass seed) was missed and concerns dismissed, and one alleged unnecessary upselling with a poor outcome. Another reported major difficulty reaching the clinic after hours and not being informed of a euthanasia outcome for several days. These appear isolated, but suggest ensuring clear communication plans and thorough checks when presenting with ear/head‑shaking signs.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- If your pet is shaking its head or has ear discomfort, ask for an otoscopic ear exam and seek a second opinion promptly if symptoms persist.
- Before leaving your pet for treatment, confirm how often you’ll be updated and the best after‑hours contact method.
- Let the team know if your pet is anxious; they use calm handling and distraction techniques that help with vaccinations and exams.
- For lameness or mobility issues, ask about rehab options such as physiotherapy, laser and chiropractic care noted by reviewers.
- During tick season, check your pet daily and seek immediate care at the first sign of paralysis or breathing difficulty.
