Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the team’s compassion, friendliness and clear communication, including walking them through steps and costs. Many noted prompt help in urgent situations and reliable after‑hours support, with successful outcomes ranging from snake-bite treatment and newborn foal care to avian surgery and routine desexing. Several long‑term clients say they wouldn’t go anywhere else, and end‑of‑life care was handled with great empathy.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
Reviews are largely positive, with a few concerns. Several owners mentioned price increases, unexpected add‑on fees or document charges, and advised clarifying inclusions upfront. Isolated issues included being unable to accompany a pet for a minor procedure, difficulty obtaining test results, one report of a delayed/incorrect diagnosis, and a poor grooming experience; one person also found the clinic too busy to help at the time and parking a bit tight. Overall sentiment remains strongly favourable despite these scattered complaints.

- If you visit often, ask about the Best Mates membership mentioned by reviewers for free consults and discounted services.

- Allow a little extra time for parking and access on your first visit, as one reviewer noted it can be tight.
