🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- Ask about update frequency during hospitalisation; reviewers reported regular calls and even twice-daily updates.
- Use the designated loading/unloading area on arrival for easier and safer handling of your horse.
- Bring a written list of questions to make the most of discharge consultations and instructions.
- Discuss costs upfront; feedback suggests pricing is fair for the level of care but itemised clarity can help planning.
- If transporting a pony or miniature horse, let the team know ahead of time—they have suitable stabling and handling experience.
