Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the team’s professionalism, compassion and willingness to go above and beyond, including during emergencies. Several noted clear, step‑by‑step explanations and felt the vets genuinely cared for both horse and owner. Positive outcomes and attentive handling were highlighted, with one owner saying they wouldn’t go anywhere else after a successful dental extraction.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
Reviews are largely positive about care and communication, but one strongly negative review alleges very high costs and pressure to proceed with expensive treatment for a colicking mare. That reviewer advises shopping around and would not return. There was little commentary on wait times, parking or facility cleanliness, and one neonatal emergency ended sadly despite the team’s efforts.
