Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the team’s caring, gentle manner and thorough, well‑explained consultations, with clear options and strong follow‑up (including phone check‑ins). Many mentioned fast help in emergencies and same‑day appointments, even on Sundays, as well as a calm, welcoming clinic space. The grooming team was repeatedly highlighted for excellent results and for handling anxious or injured pets with patience, and the cattery was noted as clean and attentively run.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
Reviews were largely positive, but a recurring theme was pricing and transparency: some found medicines expensive, queried public‑holiday surcharges for boarding, or felt misquoted or upsold. A few owners reported brusque or rude interactions at reception or with a vet, and occasional administrative/continuity issues (seeing different vets or records not being well referenced). There were isolated clinical concerns (e.g., a delayed diagnosis in one case) and one grooming mishap that the owner felt was poorly handled. One reviewer also noted a long hold time and confusion around a booking.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- Book online and note they can often accommodate same‑day or urgent visits, including Sundays.
- Ask for an itemised estimate in advance and clarify any surcharges (e.g., public holidays or boarding) to avoid surprises.
- If continuity matters to you, request the same vet when booking and ask that they review your pet’s history beforehand.
- Tell the team if your pet is anxious or has special needs—the vets and groomers are praised for adapting their handling.
- There is parking at the rear; arrive a little early, especially if you’re attending for an emergency or with multiple pets.
