Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the vets and nurses for being caring, empathetic and thorough, with clear explanations and options that respect budgets. Many mention excellent outcomes from prompt emergencies to complex surgeries, gentle care for anxious or elderly pets, and compassionate support around end-of-life decisions. Long‑term clients repeatedly say they highly recommend the clinic and wouldn’t go elsewhere.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
While reviews are largely positive, a minority raised concerns about costs, particularly medication pricing and not always being offered a script option upfront. A few owners reported reception/booking frustrations (e.g., not being acknowledged, being turned away when a few minutes late, or being asked to leave a pet for several hours), and isolated accounts of rough bedside manner or reluctance to perform tests, plus equipment/stock issues. There were also complaints about handling of stray animals and one case of refusing to share an X‑ray with another vet. Overall sentiment is very favourable, with these issues appearing in a small subset of reviews.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- If cost is a concern, ask for a written script so you can price‑check medications elsewhere.
- Arrive a little early for appointments to avoid any issues if running late and to allow check‑in time.
- If your pet is nervous or difficult to medicate, discuss handling approaches and alternatives (e.g., injections) in advance.
- For found animals, contact council or local lost‑pet groups first, as the clinic may refer strays to council procedures.
- If you prefer to stay with your pet during procedures or handling, request this at check‑in.
