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 exceptionally caring, compassionate and thorough, with clear explanations and regular updates. Many cited excellent outcomes including lifesaving care, rapid diagnoses, careful surgeries and gentle handling of anxious pets and end‑of‑life situations. Several noted the team going above and beyond, including same‑day fit‑ins for urgent issues and follow‑up phone calls.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
Reviews are overwhelmingly positive, though a few concerns came up. Some clients reported missed or delayed call‑backs and one case of difficulty obtaining a needed medication, plus an instance of conflicting opinions and reluctance to run further tests. A couple mentioned long waits even with appointments, a cancelled booking, and outdated holiday hours online, while one review noted a less warm experience with a particular vet and another suggested nursing bedside manner could improve during euthanasia. One person felt pricing was a bit high, though most described fees as reasonable.
