Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the team’s compassion, clear communication and patience with anxious pets. Many highlight being fitted in quickly for urgent needs, thoughtful follow‑up calls, and regular updates during procedures. Several report good outcomes from surgeries and dental work, and exotic pets (lizards, birds, a rooster and a bunny) were handled knowledgeably. End‑of‑life care — including unhurried goodbyes and even a home visit — is repeatedly described as exceptionally kind.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
While reviews are overwhelmingly positive, a handful raise concerns. A few owners felt prices were high or received a large dental quote; one disputed a severe dental diagnosis. There are isolated reports of clinical errors or process issues (an incorrect recorded weight affecting a vaccination dose, and one allegation of inadequate overnight monitoring), plus some front‑desk misbookings, long waits and confusion about closing times; one person also found the reception area small. One reviewer experienced delays before admission despite a sick pet.
