Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praise the vets for their compassion, clear communication and very thorough, unhurried consultations. Many highlight outstanding avian care plus excellent outcomes for surgeries and emergencies, from TPLO knee repairs and tumour removals to tick paralysis and airway obstructions. Clients also value gentle handling, follow‑up calls, and how options are explained with respect for different budgets.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
Reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with only a few concerns raised. One rabbit owner felt the clinic wasn’t equipped for rabbits and questioned the need for X‑rays, and another felt they paid a lot without clear improvement. Avian consultations are noted to be very comprehensive and can take time, so planning extra time may help; otherwise access is generally prompt with same‑day squeeze‑ins for urgent cases.

- Bird owners: book with the avian vet and allow extra time, as consults are comprehensive; bring details of diet, housing and recent history.
- If your pet needs urgent care, call ahead—reviews mention they often squeeze in same‑day and are responsive after hours.
- Discuss your budget upfront and ask for options and a price breakdown; reviewers found the team mindful of costs and not pushy.
- Keep your contact details up to date and watch for reminder emails to stay on top of vaccines and check‑ups.
- If your pet is anxious, let the team know and arrive a little early; they use gentle handling and treats to keep visits calm.
