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, knowledgeable and thorough, with clear explanations and thoughtful follow‑up calls or texts. Many noted excellent outcomes from surgeries and dental procedures, swift help in emergencies, and sensitive end‑of‑life support. Anxious or reactive pets were handled gently, with accommodations like treating in the waiting room, and several reviewers highlighted strong expertise with cats, rabbits and other small pets. Numerous clients said they’d travel to attend and have made this their long‑term, trusted clinic.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
Reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with a few recurring concerns about costs: some felt medication and prescription fees were high or not budget‑friendly. One reviewer reported difficulty obtaining a home visit despite the website indicating it might be possible, and another mentioned a vaccine shortage and unhelpful experience during that period. There were isolated comments about limited options or slow follow‑up from a vet, and one owner felt care was less suited to a large, highly anxious dog. Otherwise, most feedback on access and communication was strong.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners

- Use the online booking system and call ahead for urgent issues; they’ve fitted clients in at short notice.
