Owner Review Summary

Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say

👍What Pet Owners Praised

Owners frequently praised the vets and staff for being friendly, compassionate, and thorough in their explanations. Many cited successful outcomes and attentive care across years, including complex issues (e.g., arthritis/hip dysplasia), gastrointestinal problems brought back to normal, and a knee surgery that healed well. Several reviews appreciated being accommodated for emergencies or same‑day appointments, and long‑term clients expressed strong trust and loyalty. A few noted they also handle some exotic pets with skill.

💬Common Feedback & Suggestions

Common concerns focused on pricing—several reviewers felt costs were high, unexpected, or not well explained, and a few were frustrated by policies around releasing prescriptions for outside pharmacies. Some reported long waits or delays (especially for prescription pick‑ups) and occasional scheduling issues. A handful of reviewers questioned medical judgement or felt their concerns were dismissed, and a few mentioned unfriendly interactions. One reviewer also noted poor soundproofing during a euthanasia, which affected the experience.
