🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- Use the online booking system for routine visits, and call ahead for urgent or after‑hours issues as they are responsive to emergencies.
- If your pet is anxious or reluctant to enter, let reception know—staff can work at your pet’s pace, use outdoor/well‑spaced waiting areas, or discuss mild sedation when appropriate.
- Bring any relevant history, medications or your regular vet’s details; the team considers this information and can coordinate care when needed.
- Ask the vet to walk you through treatment options and costs—they explain clearly and are noted by owners as reasonably priced.
- For farm or large‑animal needs, mention on‑farm visits when booking to streamline scheduling.
