Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the team’s genuine care, friendliness and professionalism, with many noting thorough exams, clear explanations and follow-up phone calls after visits or surgery. Pets—including anxious dogs and senior cats—were handled gently with low‑stress techniques, and several reviews reported quick diagnoses, successful surgeries and great outcomes. Many first-time visitors felt immediately welcomed, appointments often ran on time, and online booking and easy parking added to a smooth experience.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
Reviews are overwhelmingly positive. A few owners felt prices could be high or queried paying for an additional visit to obtain a repeat script, though others said costs were explained up front. One review reported poor communication around an anaesthesia admission and inadequate pain management on discharge. Another noted the lack of after-hours availability.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- If your pet is anxious, ask about their low‑stress approach and pre‑visit medication options (e.g., trazodone mentioned by reviewers).
- Book online to secure a convenient time—appointments often run on schedule and wait times are typically short.
- Request a written estimate and clarify script refill policies up front to avoid unexpected costs.
- If your pet is contagious or very stressed, call on arrival—they can initially assess from your car before bringing you inside.
- For puppy school or the cattery, book ahead as these services are popular and fill quickly.
