Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the team’s expertise with radioactive iodine therapy and the excellent outcomes, with many cats described as cured, happier, and medication‑free after treatment. Reviewers highlighted exceptional communication—including thorough explanations of candidacy, clear pre/post‑treatment guidance, and daily update calls—plus genuinely compassionate, cat‑centric care even for senior or spicy cats. Several noted seamless coordination with their family vets and thoughtful touches that kept pets calm during their stay.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
Reviews are overwhelmingly positive with virtually no complaints. The few minor notes include travel logistics for out‑of‑area clients (some used air transport) and pandemic‑era curbside protocols limiting in‑person access, though these were still framed positively. One difficult case required a second treatment, underscoring the importance of close monitoring and follow‑up in complex thyroid disease.

Overall Ratings
🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- Ask about candidacy and what lab work (e.g., T4/TSH) is needed before scheduling I-131 treatment.
- Expect a short hospital stay and daily update calls—prepare any questions in advance to make the most of them.
- If your cat is anxious or spicy, discuss handling strategies and comfort items; the team is experienced with stress‑reduction.
- Coordinate post‑treatment monitoring with your family vet and clarify the follow‑up schedule before discharge.
- Travelling from out of town? Inquire about transport options (some reviewers used Harbour Air) and plan logistics ahead.
