Owner Review Summary

Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say

👍What Pet Owners Praised

Owners consistently praised the compassionate, friendly team and vets who take time to explain options clearly without pushing unnecessary tests. Many cite strong medical outcomes, including successful dental extractions, eye surgery, soft‑tissue procedures, and thoughtful palliative care, with some noting quick access in urgent moments and prompt callbacks. Long‑time clients highlight trust built over years and fair, reasonable pricing.

💬Common Feedback & Suggestions

A few reviewers reported concerns with boarding (e.g., a carrier not secured at pickup, kennels not very clean, no Sunday pickups, and reluctance to show the boarding area). There were occasional availability gaps during urgent or end‑of‑life situations, and one rabbit owner reported missed RHDV vaccinations despite booked visits, with a couple of comments that exotics sometimes felt less prioritized. Some found policies impersonal or frustrating, such as needing a paid recheck for medication refills, being charged during a traumatic visit, return restrictions requiring a manager, and the clinic not handling rabbit emergencies. Overall sentiment is strongly positive, with these issues raised by a minority.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners

  • Book early for urgent or end‑of‑life needs and ask about same‑day availability, as peak times can fill quickly.
  • If boarding, confirm check‑in/checkout policies (including Sunday pickups), request a walkthrough if possible, and bring a secure, well‑latched carrier.
  • For rabbits and other small pets, confirm in advance that the specific service (e.g., RHDV vaccination) is available and have an emergency plan since they don’t handle rabbit emergencies.
  • Ask for written estimates and clarify whether a recheck is required for medication refills to avoid unexpected charges.
  • Call ahead before returning retail items to ensure a manager is on site to authorize the return.
