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 warm, compassionate and professional, taking the time to explain options clearly and follow up. Many mentioned skilled care with good outcomes, from accurate diagnoses and complex surgeries to prompt emergency treatment, along with gentle handling of anxious pets. Reviewers also liked the modern, clean new premises and found parking reasonable. Long‑term loyalty and strong recommendations were common.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
Reviews were overwhelmingly positive, with only a few concerns. Some owners struggled to secure same‑day or after‑hours help, including one report of being turned away near closing, and a note that there was no vet on hand at one visit. A handful of comments flagged issues such as not stocking some prescription diets, a recent complaint about handling for very large dogs, one report of wrong medication, and an isolated professionalism complaint. One person found prices a little high, though most comments on cost were favourable.
