Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the compassionate, professional team, noting clear communication and frequent updates during stressful emergencies. Many report excellent outcomes from complex procedures such as BOAS, cruciate and hip surgeries, spinal operations, and intensive care, as well as outstanding eye care. Reviewers also highlighted efficient triage, minimal waits, and a new, very clean, well-equipped facility.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
While reviews are overwhelmingly positive, a small number raised concerns about costs, with a few feeling pressured toward expensive imaging or surgery and one upset at a consult fee to dispense a prescribed medication. There were isolated reports of clinical issues, including a missed tick, a disputed spinal work-up, and one tragic case alleging delayed emergency care. One breeder reported difficult blood draws and rigid early-morning-only appointment windows for progesterone testing. These appear to be exceptions amid largely strong feedback, but they suggest opportunities to reinforce triage consistency, phlebotomy skill-matching for anxious pets, and cost transparency.
