Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the caring, professional team and a skilled surgeon, with many long-term clients trusting them for years to decades. Several reviews mention smooth surgeries and recoveries, good pain relief, and clear post‑op explanations, as well as thoughtful touches like calling pets by their names and helping with lost‑pet flyers. A short wait time was also noted.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
While most reviews are positive, a few serious concerns were raised: one owner reported a pet dying under anaesthesia, and another described poor discharge hygiene and a very stressed dog after surgery. Some reviewers felt communication and reception support could be better, citing long phone holds, deposit issues, and bills that felt expensive or not well explained. One comment also noted there’s no overnight or most weekend staffing, which may limit after‑hours monitoring.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- If your pet is anxious, discuss sedation or anxiety‑management options ahead of time; staff have helped owners with this before visits.
- Request an itemised estimate and clarify deposit/payment policies upfront to avoid bill shock.
- If surgery is planned, ask what after‑hours or overnight monitoring is available and what arrangements are recommended.
- At discharge, check your pet is clean and comfortable and ask for detailed post‑op instructions before leaving.
- Use a secure carrier or lead and double‑check latches when arriving, especially for cats.
