Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the genuinely caring, compassionate team and the vets’ thorough, knowledgeable approach. Many cite excellent outcomes from surgeries and urgent care (from bowel obstruction and dental extractions to TPLO and tick paralysis), plus clear explanations and practical take‑home advice. Puppy school and the on‑site boarding/grooming options are also frequently highlighted, and long‑term clients note strong trust and loyalty.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
While reviews are overwhelmingly positive, a few recurring concerns came up. Some owners reported long waits, difficulty getting appointments at busy times, and limited parking. There were isolated complaints about misdiagnosis or poor judgement (including an equine case), and a couple of comments about handling anxious cats and front‑desk communication. These appear to be exceptions among many highly satisfied experiences.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- Book ahead for popular times and allow extra time to find parking during busy periods.
- If your pet is anxious or reactive, call beforehand—staff can accommodate with alternative check‑in or handling approaches.
- For urgent issues, phone first; they often fit in emergencies and can advise on after‑hours care if needed.
- Ask for an estimate and discuss options—many reviewers found pricing reasonable and the team mindful of costs.
- Consider their puppy school and boarding services if you need training or care while away; both are well reviewed.
