Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the compassionate, kind team and the way they go above and beyond for pets. Many highlighted affordable, income-based care and successful outcomes for spay/neuter, dental work, tumour/foreign body surgeries, and supportive end‑of‑life care. Reviewers also noted clear explanations, helpful follow‑ups, and staff who are gentle and patient with nervous or elderly animals.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
Several reviewers said the clinic is very busy, with long waits, difficulty getting appointments, and slow or missed callbacks; a few reported scheduling mix‑ups or meds not ready at pickup. Some felt front‑desk communication could be kinder or less judgmental, and a policy requiring pets to be spayed/neutered to qualify frustrated a number of people. There were isolated clinical concerns, including disputed diagnoses, a report of sedation without clear consent, a wrong medication amount, and a couple of cleanliness issues noted in exam rooms. Overall sentiment was strongly positive, but organization and communication were common areas for improvement.
