👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners repeatedly praised the team’s kindness and empathy, especially during emergencies and end‑of‑life care, with many mentioning clear explanations, regular updates and thoughtful keepsakes. Numerous reviews credit the vets with stabilising very sick pets, performing successful surgeries (including dental, toxicity, foreign body and trauma cases), and acting quickly after hours. Many highlighted the benefit of a 24/7 service and said staff were professional, gentle and supportive to both pets and people.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
While most feedback was positive, a notable number of reviewers felt prices were high or poorly communicated, citing changing estimates, upfront payments (including before euthanasia) and no payment plans. Several reported rude or brusque phone and reception interactions, long waits, and at times being turned away when the clinic was at capacity; parking can be tight. A minority raised concerns about diagnostic thoroughness or delays (missed injuries, inconclusive workups) and a few described distressing outcomes. One reviewer noted the building felt run‑down, though cleanliness wasn’t widely discussed.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- Call ahead for emergencies so the team can triage on arrival; waits are common during busy periods and you may be prioritised based on urgency.
- Ask for a detailed written estimate that includes hospitalisation and follow‑up costs, and clarify payment policies (some reviewers reported upfront payments and no payment plans).
- If finances are tight, discuss options early and confirm what diagnostics are essential versus optional to avoid unexpected charges.
- Parking can be limited on busy nights; consider using nearby Bundoora Square parking.
- For birds or wildlife, confirm in advance what care they can provide and whether an avian‑experienced vet is available.
