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 caring, patient and thorough, taking time to explain diagnoses and options without making visits feel rushed. Many cited excellent outcomes across surgeries, dentals, desexing and complex cases such as urinary blockages, allergies, arthritis and IVDD, with appreciated follow-up calls. Reviewers also highlighted the friendly reception team, the clean, modern facilities and the ability to fit pets in quickly, including early/late and after-hours support.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
Reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with a few recurring concerns. Several owners reported difficulty getting through by phone, delays with medication repeats, longer-than-expected waits and a strict lateness policy that led to missed appointments. A small number felt pricing was high or that they were pushed toward additional procedures, and there were isolated communication lapses (e.g., an unmentioned clipper graze) as well as one instance of the after-hours line not connecting and another of emergency bookings being full early.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- Arrive 10 minutes early for appointments to avoid issues with the strict lateness policy reported by some reviewers.
- When booking, request your preferred vet (or the avian/exotics vet for birds) to maintain continuity of care.
- If your pet is on daily medications, request repeats a few days in advance to allow for processing time.
- Ask for itemised estimates upfront and enquire about the Wellness Plan if you’re managing ongoing care costs.
- For urgent or after-hours needs, call ahead to confirm which site is open and that they can see you promptly.
