Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the vets and nurses for being compassionate, calm and thorough, especially during end‑of‑life care. The clinic is often described as friendly and responsive, with many noting quick access to appointments, same‑day help, emergencies and even out‑of‑hours support. Reviewers also highlighted good outcomes across routine and complex cases, including cruciate ligament surgery, and valued their capability with farm animals and the occasional exotic pet.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
While feedback is overwhelmingly positive, a few reviewers raised cost concerns, mentioning higher‑than‑expected bills, a prescription‑writing fee, and a wish for quotes upfront. There were isolated complaints about misdiagnosis/declining standards and an unpleasant handling of a complaint, plus confusion around needing a recheck for repeat prescriptions. Aside from these outliers, most comments still report fair pricing and consistently kind service.
