Many reported thorough exams, honest advice and strong outcomes from surgeries and emergencies (including snake‑bite care and desexing), and confident handling of anxious or reactive pets. Several noted being fitted in for urgent same‑day appointments and appreciated the clean, modern feel and fair value. Long‑term clients mention years to decades of trust and say they wouldn’t go anywhere else. 💬 **Common Feedback & Suggestions** Reviews are overwhelmingly positive, though a few concerns came up. Some mentioned long waits or trouble booking at times, occasional communication lapses (e.g., no callback), and being asked to wait outside during consults. A small number felt certain consults/products were pricey or were disappointed by an aftercare detail (urn engraving), and there were isolated complaints about medication refill policies and how birds are handled. One reviewer alleged poor care leading to a pet’s death; while uncommon, it’s a serious issue owners may wish to discuss with the team. 🏥 **Clinic Specialties** - End-of-life and euthanasia care - Rabbit and small mammal care and vaccinations - Soft-tissue surgery and desexing - Snakebite and toxin emergencies - Behaviour-sensitive handling for anxious pets - Cat boarding services 🏷️ **Tags** #compassionateCare #endOfLifeSupport #clearCommunication #thoroughExams #emergencyFitIns #anxiousPetHandling #rabbitCare #surgeryAndDesexing #snakebiteTreatment #reasonablePrices #cleanFacility #longTermLoyalty #highlyRecommended #occasionalLongWaits #bookingDifficulties #birdTreatmentConcerns 🐾 **Tips for Pet Owners** - Book ahead where possible, but call if it’s urgent — they often fit in same‑day cases or provide phone advice close to closing. - If your pet is anxious or reactive, ask to wait in your car or have part of the consult done outside; staff have accommodated this. - Discuss the treatment plan and request a written cost estimate up front, as a few reviewers felt some consults or products were pricey. - If arranging cremation or keepsakes, confirm details (such as urn engraving) before you leave to avoid misunderstandings. - Rabbit owners can book for vaccinations and raise any dental or feeding concerns, as the team has managed many rabbits.
