Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the kind, compassionate and professional team who took great care of their pets and supported them through difficult moments. Several mentioned calm, competent handling of anxious dogs and successful help with issues like allergies. Reviewers also valued the convenience of having a vet on the island and noted the clinic could fit in urgent wildlife cases.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
Reviews are overwhelmingly positive. The only notable concern was an isolated incident where a scared cat escaped when a door was opened despite a request to keep it closed, and the owner felt staff were dismissive and unhelpful in recapturing the cat. Pricing was praised as reasonable but seldom discussed, and cleanliness wasn’t specifically mentioned, with no issues raised.

- If your cat is nervous or escape‑prone, use a secure carrier and ask staff to keep doors closed; flag this at booking and on arrival.
- For wildlife cases, call ahead—reviews suggest they can often fit these in—and transport the animal safely and securely.
- Let the team know if your pet is anxious; reviewers noted calm, supportive handling that helped their pets cope.
- If visiting for allergy issues, bring a history of symptoms and any recent environmental changes to help tailor treatment.
- For end‑of‑life appointments, expect unhurried, compassionate support; consider scheduling a dedicated time for privacy and goodbyes.
