Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the friendly, compassionate team and the way they support families through tough moments, especially euthanasia, with great empathy. Many highlighted knowledgeable, thorough vets who provided clear plans and good outcomes, and several travellers noted being accommodated at short notice, including after-hours and even on Sundays. A number of reviews also mentioned minimal waits and long-term trust, with pets (including birds and rabbits) cared for over years.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
Reviews are largely positive, but several owners raised concerns about high costs. A few reported booking difficulties or poor communication and empathy from reception or a vet, including being hung up on, limited discussion of options, and feeling judged. There were occasional criticisms of clinical judgement (missed or delayed diagnoses and advice to travel elsewhere), one report of a procedure done on the floor, and an instance of incorrect post‑op collar sizing and stock availability.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- Book ahead where possible; if it’s urgent, ask to be put on standby as they sometimes squeeze in same‑day and after‑hours cases (even Sundays).
- Discuss the treatment plan, alternatives and costs upfront, and ask for terms and conditions or estimates in writing before agreeing.
- If budget is a concern, request a detailed quote and whether procedures can be managed locally before travelling elsewhere.
- Check post‑op supplies (like e‑collar sizing) before leaving and confirm they have the right size in stock.
- If your pet is anxious or at end of life, ask about being seen in the waiting room or options for car/home euthanasia.
