Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the team’s compassion, clear communication and thorough, thoughtful care. Many highlighted fast access for urgent issues, including weekend and after-hours help, and smooth same‑day appointments. Several also appreciated the considerate end‑of‑life support with keepsakes and unhurried private time, as well as fair, transparent pricing.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
Reviews are overwhelmingly positive, but a small number reported missed or delayed diagnoses, rough handling during procedures, or feeling over‑treated. A few owners also mentioned rude or unresponsive reception experiences (phones/emails), an isolated very high quote, and one dispute over surgical consent. Parking can be tight at times. These appear to be exceptions rather than the norm.
