Owner Review Summary

Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say

👍What Pet Owners Praised

Owners consistently praised the friendly, compassionate team and the clear, thorough communication about exams, plans and fees. Many cited responsive follow-ups by text/email, same- or next-day appointments for urgent needs, and patient handling of anxious pets. Reviewers also highlighted strong medical outcomes, including help with complex cases, exotics, and successful surgeries, as well as thoughtful end‑of‑life support.

💬Common Feedback & Suggestions

Concerns focused mainly on cost: several reviewers felt prices and wellness packages were high, mentioned expensive medications without options, and noted charges like a fee for printed reports. A few administrative issues came up, including a care-club requirement for a credit card, spam/misdirected emails, and a sense of upselling or customer service decline since corporate changes. One reviewer reported a rat that died shortly after a visit and was upset no fees were adjusted. Overall, the majority of feedback was positive, with these issues raised by a minority.
