Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the vets’ skill and outcomes, from accurate diagnoses and effective medical management to life‑saving emergency care and successful surgeries (including cruciate repairs, amputations and caesareans). Reviewers highlighted a genuinely caring, compassionate team that takes time to build trust with nervous pets, explains options clearly, follows up after visits, and handles emergencies promptly. Many also valued the helpful phone advice and the clinic’s capability with both small pets and farm animals, as well as particular experience with greyhounds.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
Reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with only a few concerns noted. Some owners felt prices or treatment plans were expensive, or medication costs higher than expected, and a small number perceived a money‑focused approach. There were occasional service hiccups such as a long wait, a missed call‑back, and one report of poor bedside manner after hours; a couple of reviewers were confused about after‑hours access not being staffed on site 24/7 without calling ahead. These were rare compared with the volume of glowing feedback.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- For after‑hours help, call ahead as the service is on‑call and not always staffed on site 24/7.
- Ask for an itemised estimate and discuss options up front; the team are transparent about costs and can tailor plans.
- If your pet is anxious or reactive, let reception know—they can use alternatives like a side entry and take extra time to build trust.
- In emergencies (e.g., snakebite, whelping issues), contact them promptly—they act quickly and can perform urgent surgery.
- Book ahead and allow a little buffer time, as emergencies can occasionally extend waits.
