🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- Call ahead for urgent issues — reviewers were often seen quickly, including after hours, and even received phone guidance (e.g., CPR) en route.
- Discuss costs and ask for an itemised estimate up front, as pricing was praised by some but felt high or variable by others.
- Let the team know if your pet is anxious or difficult to handle; multiple owners said staff were patient and gentle.
- If you’re travelling, mention it — several visitors were fitted in at short notice for medications and acute problems.
- Bring a payment method to appointments, as a reviewer noted up-front payment may be requested.
