🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- Call ahead to confirm opening hours and ask about same‑day availability if needed.
- Request an itemised estimate and invoice so you understand fees and treatments.
- If you have a rabbit, rat or other non‑standard pet, confirm they will see that species before visiting.
- For nervous cats, consider using a calming spray in the carrier as one reviewer found it helpful.
- If you’re uncertain about a diagnosis or plan, seek clarification on options or consider a second opinion.
