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 caring, compassionate and highly knowledgeable, with many noting thorough exams, clear explanations and great outcomes. Reviewers highlighted rapid help in emergencies and considerate, unhurried support during end‑of‑life care, often mentioning thoughtful follow‑ups with cards or flowers. Many long‑term clients (years to decades) say they wouldn’t go anywhere else, and several commented that fees felt reasonable and not “about the money.”
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
While reviews are strongly positive overall, a few raised concerns about front‑desk service, including a lost booking and perceived rudeness or dismissiveness from management. Some mentioned pricing issues such as script fees and vague cost information, and one person felt puppy school needed more practical, hands‑on time. There are isolated but serious criticisms of care, including one very negative outcome and a warning that the clinic isn’t suitable for birds/exotics. A small number also reported being unable to get an appointment when urgently needed.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- Book ahead and confirm your appointment on the day, as one reviewer reported a lost booking during a busy period.
- If you have a bird or other exotic pet, consider an avian/exotics specialist based on feedback here.
- Discuss costs and any prescription/script fees upfront to avoid surprises.
- For urgent issues, call first—reviewers say they were often fitted in quickly or seen same day in emergencies.
- If enrolling in puppy school, ask about the balance of hands‑on practice versus discussion to match your expectations.
