Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the team’s skill and compassion, especially in emergencies and complex surgeries like cruciate TPLO repairs, BOAS and diaphragmatic hernia operations, foreign‑body removals and cancer‑related amputations. Many highlighted clear explanations, upfront quotes and caring follow‑ups, with friendly nurses and vets who take time to answer questions. Reviewers frequently mentioned being fitted in at short notice and felt fees were fair for the high standard of care.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
Reviews are overwhelmingly positive, but a small number of owners reported issues. A few mentioned delayed or missed call‑backs for lab results or wildlife case outcomes, and one owner was unhappy with how a microchipped found cat was handled. There were also isolated concerns about diagnosis or investigation in serious cases. Clearer, more consistent communication on results and case updates, plus encouraging second opinions for complex presentations, could help.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- For urgent issues, call ahead—many reviewers were squeezed in or triaged quickly even when the clinic was busy.
- Ask for a cost breakdown and treatment options upfront; owners noted quotes and fees were clearly explained.
- If your pet needs surgery, discuss the post‑op plan and arrange follow‑up calls so you know what to expect at home.
- If you haven’t heard back about lab results, ring the clinic to prompt an update.
- When bringing wildlife or found pets, clarify microchip/ownership return procedures and request outcome updates.
