Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praise a warm, compassionate team and knowledgeable vets who explain options clearly and in plain English. Many mention thorough check-ups, gentle low‑stress handling that keeps anxious pets calm (often with treats), and thoughtful follow‑up calls after visits. The practice often fits in urgent or travelling clients promptly, provides after‑hours help, and offers handy online access to report cards and vaccination certificates. Long‑term clients highlight years of reliable, trustworthy care.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
Reviews are overwhelmingly positive, but a small number raise concerns. A few mention cost and ‘money‑hungry’ feelings or confusion about medication dosing and tick prevention coverage/costs, and one reviewer reported a long wait after being told to come in between consults. There are isolated serious allegations about euthanasia decisions and one case where earlier bloods were felt to be inconclusive before a later cancer diagnosis; one person also described the clinic as dingy/older‑style. These issues are uncommon, but clarifying pricing, timelines, and urgent triage expectations up front may help.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- For urgent issues, call ahead—reviews suggest they often fit emergencies or travellers in quickly and can provide after‑hours support.
- Bring or have your previous records sent through; staff are happy to review complex histories and it helps continuity of care.
- Discuss tick prevention dosing and timing if your pet’s weight has changed, and confirm what’s covered and the cost before treatment.
- If your pet is anxious, let the team know—they use treats and gentle, low‑stress handling, and some procedures may be done without sedation.
- Use the online report card and emailed scripts/vaccination certificates to keep your paperwork handy and save time.
