🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- Book ahead and allow a little extra time on the day, as it can be busy and there may be waits.
- If your dog is nervous, ask about using a private room while waiting.
- Look for the big grey building next to the pet store; there is off‑street parking on site.
- Follow the post‑op plan closely (e.g., around 12 weeks for cruciate repairs) to maximise recovery.
- For urgent issues, call first—reviews suggest they sometimes accommodate emergencies.
