Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners repeatedly praised the caring, empathetic team, especially around end‑of‑life care, with thoughtful touches like condolence cards and paw/footprints. Many highlighted thorough, skilled vets who explained issues clearly, provided effective treatments and second opinions, and helped in emergencies (including snakebite, hit‑by‑car injuries, and urgent fits‑in). Several noted smooth surgeries and recoveries for dogs and cats, plus knowledgeable help with greyhounds and rabbits. Reasonable or fair pricing was mentioned by multiple reviewers, alongside long‑term loyalty spanning many years.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
A minority reported concerns about rudeness or insensitivity at reception and communication lapses (e.g., promised results not sent, abrupt phone handling). A few serious clinical complaints were raised, including claims of misdiagnosis, a lack of examination before prescribing, and one report of a botched desexing with long‑term issues. Some felt the clinic was too focused on money, citing high or unaffordable fees and being turned away when unable to pay. Occasional waits were noted, and one reviewer reported a pet returning with fleas after a procedure.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- For urgent or after‑hours problems, call ahead—reviewers were often fitted in quickly or seen when the clinic stayed open late.
- There is parking available out the back, which makes visits easier.
- If costs are a concern, ask for an estimate and discuss alternatives or staged care up front.
- If you have a greyhound or rabbit, mention this when booking and bring any prior records to help tailor care.
- Allow a little extra time during busy periods, and follow up proactively if you’re expecting test results or a call and haven’t heard back.
