Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the caring, professional team and the vets’ clear communication, especially around major procedures and recovery plans. Many reported excellent outcomes from complex surgeries (cruciate/TPLO, patella, spinal/hemilaminectomy, splenectomy, amputations) and valued the frequent updates and thorough aftercare. Emergencies were often prioritised and fitted in quickly, and several reviewers highlighted how well anxious or reactive dogs were accommodated, including direct room access. Puppy school was repeatedly described as informative, small-sized and confidence-building for new owners.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
Reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with only a few minor concerns noted. A handful of people mentioned that, as a busy clinic, routine appointments can book out a few days ahead, and one or two felt the service could be a bit transactional at times. There were isolated complaints about billing or admin issues (including a disputed charge and a puppy school refund concern), and a couple of comments about cost or payment options. Overall sentiment remained strongly favourable.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- Book ahead for routine visits as appointments can fill a few days in advance; call if it’s urgent as emergencies are often prioritised and seen quickly.
- If your pet is anxious or reactive, request direct room access and let reception know—staff are accommodating and use calm handling with treats.
- For surgeries, ask for the pre-op checklist and rehab plan—they provide detailed instructions and regular updates during recovery.
- Enrol early for puppy school—classes are small and trainers give personalised support.
- Discuss estimates and invoices upfront and keep confirmations; most owners find pricing reasonable, but this helps avoid any billing misunderstandings.
