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 kind, gentle and communicative, often taking time to explain treatments and even phoning to check on pets after procedures. Many reported strong clinical outcomes across surgeries and emergencies — from smooth desexing and TPLO repairs to complex wound stitching and an eye surgery — with pets recovering well. Compassionate end‑of‑life care, including keepsakes and condolence cards, and helpful touches like reminders, last‑minute bookings and good parking were also highlighted.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
While most feedback was positive, several reviewers felt prices and quotes were high, citing costly injections, being charged for additional consults and occasional admin errors. A few reported front‑desk and booking issues — being turned away when fully booked, confusion over appointment types, difficulty reaching management, rigid late policies and one instance of advertised hours not matching opening. Clinical concerns were uncommon but significant: one account of a serious misdiagnosis, delayed and inconclusive test results, and a vet appearing hesitant to thoroughly examine a large‑breed dog; some asked for clearer, warmer communication and more transparency around diagnostics and costs. Continuity of care (rarely seeing the same vet) was also mentioned.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- If continuity matters to you, request a specific vet when booking to improve the chance of seeing the same clinician each visit.
- For larger or anxious pets, mention any handling or pre‑medication needs when you book — reviewers noted the team can accommodate this.
- Discuss treatment plans and expected timelines for test results up front, and confirm how and when you’ll be contacted with updates.
- Ask for a detailed written estimate and about payment options (e.g., VetPay) or lower‑cost alternatives where appropriate.
- Arrive a little early and call ahead if running late; this clinic can fill up quickly and was strict about late arrivals in some reviews.
