🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- If you’re coming at a busy time, arrive a little early as parking can be tight in the area.
- Let the team know if your dog is nervous; there’s a fenced outdoor waiting area that can make visits easier.
- Call ahead for emergencies or last‑minute needs—reviewers report being seen promptly and fitted in.
- Discuss treatment plans and costs openly; reviewers found pricing reasonable and the team flexible.
- For complex cases (orthopaedics, dental, reproductive), ask about imaging and specialist support and plan for follow‑up care.
