Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Many reviewers praised the team’s kindness and compassion, especially during difficult end‑of‑life decisions, with several noting thoughtful follow‑ups like condolence cards. Long‑term clients (spanning 15–27+ years) highlighted caring vets and helpful nurses, clear explanations, and good communication, with a few citing life‑saving care and smooth routine procedures like desexing at reasonable prices.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
There are also numerous critical reviews citing rough handling and poor outcomes, including allegations of injury during a routine procedure and missed or inadequate diagnoses. Multiple owners felt the clinic was too money‑focused, mentioning unexpected charges, admin fees, and recommendations for unnecessary medications. Communication and access drew complaints about no call‑backs, double‑booked appointments, waits (including waiting in the car), stock shortages, and being told the clinic couldn’t help. Lost‑pet handling was mixed, with one owner grateful for safe holding while another reported the clinic involving the council and nearly forcing a pound pickup and fine.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- Ask for an itemised estimate before treatment and clarify any admin fees to avoid bill surprises; compare prices if needed.
- If you have a large or anxious dog, confirm in advance which vet will see them and whether sedation is anticipated.
- When booking, ask about current wait times, potential delays, and any need to wait in your car so you can plan accordingly.
- For ongoing conditions, request that the vet review your pet’s history and discuss alternatives (e.g., topical options vs antibiotics) and a clear follow‑up plan.
- If you’re reclaiming a found pet, call ahead with microchip details and confirm the release process to avoid council impound complications.
