Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the friendly, caring team who take time to listen, explain diagnoses and options, and show genuine empathy. Reviewers highlighted strong clinical care and outcomes, from saving a tick-affected cat after hours to gentle, compassionate end-of-life support, and careful handling of nervous pets and hiding cats. Several said they wouldn’t take their animals anywhere else, with a few noting clear quotes were given before treatment.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
A recurring concern was perceived upselling or pressure to accept additional vaccines or treatments without sufficient explanation or clear consent, with one owner reporting a needle given without approval. Pricing drew mixed reactions, including surprise add-ons compared with quotes, an overcharge and incomplete refund, and comments that vaccination costs are a bit higher than other local clinics. A couple of reviewers felt the manner from staff or a vet could be condescending, though most comments on attitude were positive. Cleanliness and wait times were rarely mentioned, suggesting they were not common issues for reviewers.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- Ask for an itemised quote and confirm any added costs before consenting to extra treatments or vaccines.
- Discuss whether specific vaccines (e.g., leptospirosis) are necessary for your pet’s lifestyle and location.
- If you prefer to be present, let the team know you want to stay with your pet for injections or procedures and ensure explicit consent is obtained.
- Keep your written quote and check the invoice before leaving; query any discrepancies on the spot.
- Tell staff if your pet is nervous or a rescue so they can use the gentle handling approaches other owners praised.
