👍What Pet Owners Praised

Owners consistently praised the veterinarians’ skill, knowledge, and compassion, especially for horses and other large animals. Many highlight clear communication, friendly reception staff, and attentive, professional care. Emergency responsiveness, including weekend farm calls, was repeatedly appreciated. Several long‑term clients expressed strong loyalty and high confidence in the team.

💬Common Feedback & Suggestions

While the vast majority of comments were positive, a few reviewers reported concerns about phone manner and empathy, including one saying they were told to find a nearby vet and felt unsupported during a critical moment. One person felt a vet didn’t listen, and another expressed frustration after spending thousands of dollars over the years. Convenience was mostly praised for after‑hours help, but there was at least one experience suggesting availability can be limited at times. Cleanliness was rarely mentioned in these reviews.
