Owner Review Summary

Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say

👍What Pet Owners Praised

Owners consistently praised the compassionate, patient team from reception through to the vets and techs. Reviewers highlighted strong medical skill and clear explanations, including excellent surgical outcomes (notably soft‑tissue work), thoughtful advice without unnecessary tests, and breed‑specific know‑how. Many mentioned attentive care for working and breeding dogs, including OFA screenings and reproductive services. The clinic environment was described as clean and welcoming, with prompt, well‑organized visits.

💬Common Feedback & Suggestions

A recurring concern was access: several reviewers said new clients were declined unless they were established, registered breeders, with some feeling turned away due to policies or breed. A few reported brusque interactions or communication lapses, including being booked with a vet they had asked to avoid and one consent issue where nails were trimmed during anaesthesia. There were occasional pricing complaints about unexpected fees or higher‑than‑anticipated quotes, and one case of a cyst that required multiple attempts to resolve. Overall sentiment is strongly positive, but confirming eligibility, preferences, and detailed estimates up front may help avoid frustrations.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners

  • Call ahead to confirm new‑client eligibility and any breeder or registration requirements before planning a first visit.
  • Request written estimates and give explicit consent for any add‑on procedures (e.g., nail trims) when your pet is under anaesthesia.
  • If you prefer or wish to avoid a specific vet, ask for that note to be added to your file and reconfirm it at check‑in.
  • Book reproductive or OFA appointments early and bring any relevant registration papers or health records.
