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, gentle and thorough, with many noting clear explanations, follow‑up calls and genuine care for anxious or elderly pets. Multiple reviews highlight strong outcomes in emergencies and surgeries (including foreign body removals, dental work and cancer surgery), quick diagnoses, and in‑house testing. After‑hours responsiveness, house calls and fitting in travellers at short notice were also called out positively, along with reasonable pricing by many reviewers.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
While the bulk of feedback is very positive, a small number of reviewers reported concerns about rough handling, misdiagnosis or tests not being completed, including one distressing euthanasia recommendation that proved unnecessary. A few people felt costs were high or that over‑testing was suggested, and one noted being charged despite a failed procedure; others, however, described pricing as fair. There were isolated complaints about phone manner, long waits or appointment mix‑ups. Mentions of cleanliness were few but positive.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- For emergencies or urgent issues, call ahead as the clinic provides after‑hours care and can sometimes arrange house calls or prompt appointments.
- If you keep birds or other small exotics, book in advance as a bird expert is available on set days each week.
- Ask for an itemised estimate and discuss which tests are essential to align care with your budget.
- If your pet is anxious, mention this when booking; reviewers found the team gentle, patient and happy to explain each step.
- Arrive a little early and confirm your appointment time to avoid delays, as a few reviewers reported scheduling mix‑ups.
