Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the hospital’s knowledgeable vets and techs—especially the exotics team—for saving or stabilizing pets ranging from rabbits and birds to dogs and cats. Many highlighted clear explanations, frequent updates, and compassionate handling during frightening emergencies and end-of-life decisions, with some allowed to visit hospitalized pets. Numerous reviews cited strong outcomes after procedures and surgeries (e.g., fracture repair, TPLO, dental work) and prompt help during late-night crises. A few also noted fair pricing or refunds when hospitalization wasn’t ultimately needed.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
Common concerns involved long or poorly communicated wait times and triage delays, including missed callbacks and lengthy gaps before or after consultations. Pricing was frequently described as high, with some feeling pressured toward costly workups or euthanasia, and a subset alleging misdiagnoses or inconsistent medical advice. Several reviewers reported brusque front-desk interactions and frustrations with referral-based booking or late-running appointments. While many visits were smooth and caring, experiences appear variable depending on timing, staffing, and case complexity.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- Call ahead to confirm they can see your pet and ask about current wait times, as the queue is triage-based and can vary.
- For exotics or specialty consults, verify referral requirements and bring prior records, diagnostics, and medications.
- Request an itemized estimate and discuss alternatives and risks before approving tests, procedures, or euthanasia.
- Plan for possible waits; bring essentials for you and your pet and ask for periodic updates if delays occur.
- If your pet is hospitalized, ask about visitation and update frequency—several reviewers were allowed to visit and received regular calls.
