Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the team for being kind, empathetic and highly knowledgeable. Many mention clear explanations, gentle handling of anxious pets and strong follow‑up care, as well as the clinic’s willingness to fit in urgent cases, even near closing time. Long‑term clients report excellent outcomes across routine care, surgery and complex cases, and several note fair pricing and honest quotes.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
Reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with a few concerns. Some owners found costs high or were surprised by charges, citing the need for clearer upfront pricing; one described a rude consultation and difficulty lodging a complaint. There was an isolated report of a misdiagnosis and a traumatic post‑surgery loss, and one person noted the site can be hard to find down a battle‑axe driveway, with an older comment about clunky record keeping. Overall, sentiment is strongly favourable.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- Allow extra time to find the clinic; it’s down a battle‑axe driveway—look for the big orange sign.
- Book boarding early, as the kennels are popular with regular clients.
- For non‑urgent procedures, ask for a written estimate and discuss alternatives to avoid surprise costs.
- Use the online booking system for routine visits and call ahead for emergencies—they often fit urgent cases in quickly.
- If you have an exotic pet (rabbit, reptile, bird or small mammal), mention it when booking so you’re matched with an experienced vet.
