Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the team for being friendly, caring and knowledgeable, with vets who explain options clearly and provide prompt help, including walk-ins and urgent fit-ins. Travellers especially valued the doggy day care/boarding so they could do local tours, as well as helpful phone and telehealth advice. Many noted fair pricing and professional outcomes across routine surgeries, wound care and ongoing medical cases, with compassionate support during difficult end-of-life decisions.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
Reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with only a few concerns raised. One owner was unhappy with their elderly dog’s post-surgery decline and the subsequent costs, and another simply found the clinic not very helpful. A reviewer also flagged that boarded dogs were kept in cages and only walked when staff were free, and some anxious pets didn’t settle in day care. Aside from these isolated notes, most feedback was strongly favourable.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- If you’re sightseeing or touring, book doggy day care/boarding ahead and ask about exercise schedules, especially for high-energy or anxious dogs.
- For urgent issues or if the clinic appears closed, call first—reviewers report being fitted in quickly and even seen on a closed day.
- Discuss treatment options and request an estimate up front; most found prices fair, but one reviewer faced higher costs during a complex case.
- If you can’t get into town, ask about phone advice or paying over the phone with gate pick-up for products.
- Let staff know if your pet is anxious—reviewers noted gentle handling and reassurance helped their dogs cope.
