Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the vets and nurses for being compassionate, thorough and highly professional, with clear explanations and plenty of time for questions. Many noted they were seen promptly for urgent issues, appreciated upfront cost breakdowns and reasonable fees, and valued very quick in‑house blood results. Several reviews highlight excellent care for senior pets and supportive, respectful end‑of‑life care.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
Reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with only a few minor issues raised. One owner reported a 20‑minute wait and inconsistent COVID‑era check‑in rules along with a cold reception, and another felt prices were a bit high. There was also an instance where a very anxious cat wasn’t successfully acclimatised for examination, and a note that the reception area is small. One reviewer was unhappy about assistance with a stray cat.
