👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the caring, professional vets and nurses, noting clear explanations, follow-up calls, and a gentle, thorough approach. Many cited excellent outcomes in complex cases—emergency surgeries, fracture repairs, dental work, and chronic condition management—and strong knowledge of rabbits, birds and ferrets. People also appreciated easy bookings, reminders, being squeezed in for urgent cases (even as new clients), and the calm, homely clinic environment.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
Reviews were overwhelmingly positive, with only a few recurring concerns. Several owners felt prices were high, including one surprise bill when costs weren’t discussed beforehand and comments about expensive cattery rates. A small number mentioned occasional waits and one flagged access difficulties due to front stairs. Clearer upfront estimates and attention to accessibility would address most of the negative points raised.
