Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the team’s expertise in radioactive iodine treatment for feline hyperthyroidism, with many reporting normalised thyroid results, healthy weight gain and clear clinical improvement after follow-up tests. Communication was a standout: clients received thorough explanations before admission, daily phone updates during the stay, and clear discharge/aftercare guidance, often with photo updates that eased anxious owners. Reviewers also highlighted the kind, patient and compassionate manner toward both cats and their worried humans, and noted how well their cats settled in under the team’s care.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
Reviews were overwhelmingly positive with virtually no complaints. The few minor notes were more about planning than problems: one owner wished they’d requested anti‑anxiety medication for the drive home, and another flagged the need to arrange suitable isolation space post‑treatment (the clinic accommodated an extended stay when this wasn’t possible). A couple of reviewers mentioned travel distance but felt the experience was worth it. One owner noted the cost was lower than expected.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- Expect a multi‑day stay and plan home isolation in advance; if that’s difficult, ask about extended boarding options.
- If your cat gets stressed travelling, discuss anti‑anxiety medication or other calming measures before the drive home.
- Prepare questions about I‑131 and aftercare—staff are very patient and will explain the process clearly.
- Take advantage of the regular phone updates and request photo updates or enclosure photos if that reassures you.
- Coordinate referral and medical records early and keep your phone handy during admission week for smooth communication.

Pet insurance and payment-plan options exist in Australia, but availability varies by clinic—ask what’s supported when you call.
