Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the caring, friendly team who explain procedures clearly and follow up after visits. Dental work stood out, with many happy outcomes under capped-price or very reasonable fees, plus smooth recoveries for desexing and other routine surgeries. People also liked the spacious, clean premises with separate cat/dog areas and easy parking.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
While most feedback was positive, several reviewers noted long waits, late starts and difficulty getting seen when the clinic was fully booked, including in urgent cases. A minority felt quotes changed or add-ons (like imaging or bloods) were pushed, and a few serious concerns mentioned misdiagnosis, a failed surgery or a distressing euthanasia experience. There were occasional admin issues too, such as pets not appearing on file or missing receipts.

Overall Ratings
🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- Ask for a written, itemised quote upfront and confirm what’s included to avoid surprises (imaging, blood tests, take‑home meds).
- If cost is a priority, enquire about capped‑price dental specials and consultation fees that reviewers found affordable.
- Allow some buffer time around your appointment in case of delays, and call ahead for urgent cases as the clinic can book out.
- If your pet is anxious, ask whether you can stay with them until sedation, as several owners found this helpful.
- Request an itemised receipt and ensure your pet’s records are updated before you leave, given a few admin hiccups reported.
