Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners repeatedly praised the compassionate, professional team, especially during emergencies and end-of-life moments. Many mention clear explanations, regular updates and follow-up calls, and gentle handling that kept anxious pets calm, including a separate cat clinic that feels clean and pleasant. Numerous stories describe effective treatment in urgent cases like poisonings, envenomations and heart issues, and many long‑term clients say they wouldn’t go anywhere else.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
Feedback is largely positive, but pricing draws the most criticism, with some owners calling it very expensive and noting extra charges for VetPay, scripts or medication pick-ups. A few reviewers reported long waits during busy emergency periods and difficulty getting routine appointments or being turned away when the clinic wasn’t taking new clients. There are occasional reports of rushed or blunt communication and a handful of poor outcomes, though these were in the minority.

- Cat owners can use the separate cat hospital entrance and ask for a Feliway-sprayed blanket to help reduce stress.
- Make use of their follow-up communication by emailing photos or updates during recovery and expect check-in calls.
