🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- If you’re switching from another vet, confirm their policy on transferring ongoing cases and bring previous records to avoid delays.
- Mention any breeding or reproductive needs when booking so you can be scheduled with a vet experienced in that area.
- For anxious pets or birds, let reception know in advance so the team can prepare gentle, low-stress handling; bringing favourite treats may help.
- If symptoms persist after a visit (e.g., ear or sneezing issues), arrange a recheck and discuss targeted treatments rather than just cleansers.
- For surgery or desexing, come with a list of questions; reviewers note the team provides clear pre-op information and sensible, affordable options.
