👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the vets and nurses for being friendly, patient and genuinely caring, especially with nervous or anxious pets. Many noted thorough examinations, clear explanations and follow-up calls, with strong outcomes across dental work, surgeries and ongoing condition management. Reviews often mentioned easy bookings, punctual appointments, extended hours and even same-day squeeze-ins, along with a clean, well-kept facility. Long-term clients reported years of reliable care for both dogs and cats, including happy experiences with the cattery.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
Reviews are overwhelmingly positive, though a few themes emerged for improvement. Several owners felt some medications and dental procedures were overpriced or marked up compared with retail or nearby vets, and one mentioned upselling. A small number reported issues related to boarding (cats separated against instructions or a cat returning unwell), and one owner felt staff didn’t handle a high-energy dog well; another was disappointed with the response to an injured wild bird. One reviewer noted a small waiting room, though most said wait times were minimal.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- For urgent issues, call ahead—many reviewers were accommodated with same-day appointments.
- If using the cattery, book early (especially around holidays) and put any housing instructions for multiple cats in writing and confirm them at drop-off.
- Ask for an itemised estimate and discuss medication pricing before proceeding, as some owners perceived mark-ups versus retail.
- Take advantage of extended hours and Saturday availability to reduce waiting and fit around work schedules.
- Let the team know if your pet is anxious—they use calm, gentle handling and treats to make visits easier.
