Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the clinic’s deep expertise with unusual pets, especially birds, reptiles and small mammals like guinea pigs and rats. Reviews highlight gentle handling, thorough explanations without jargon, and clear treatment plans, with many noting excellent outcomes and thoughtful follow‑ups. The team is frequently commended for compassion and support during emergencies and end‑of‑life care, creating a calm, caring environment. Many explicitly say they highly recommend the clinic and won’t go anywhere else for their exotics.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
Reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with only a few concerns raised. A handful of owners felt visits could be expensive or mentioned additional tests adding to costs, though others described fees as reasonable and appreciated upfront cost discussions. There were isolated reports of disappointing customer service over the phone, including one distressing interaction, but these were exceptions amid an otherwise very caring and communicative team. Convenience comments were mostly about being fitted in quickly, with some clients travelling long distances by choice.

Overall Ratings
🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- Call ahead for emergencies and provide your ETA; reviewers were often fitted in quickly when the team knew they were coming.
- Discuss your budget and ask for an estimate—staff can prioritise tests and are upfront about costs.
- Ask about their FlyStart (birds) or ScaleStart (reptiles) packages to set a health baseline and get tailored husbandry advice.
- Bring any prior records and your pet’s microchip details—these helped with identification and continuity of care in reviews.
- If travelling from out of town, allow extra time for a thorough consult and possible diagnostics, as many clients make the trip specifically for their expertise.
