Owner Review Summary

Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say

👍What Pet Owners Praised

Owners consistently praised the clinic’s surgical skill—especially for CCL/ACL (TTA) repairs, luxating patella, fractures/hips, and amputations—with many reporting excellent recoveries and clear improvements in mobility. Reviewers repeatedly highlighted the team’s compassion and calm, pet-centred handling (including anxious and senior pets), along with exceptional communication: thorough consults, unhurried explanations, written post-op booklets, and frequent updates by phone, text, and even photos. Many noted fast scheduling for surgery or urgent issues and diligent follow-up after discharge. Several clients travelled long distances or switched from other clinics based on these positive experiences.

💬Common Feedback & Suggestions

Reviews are overwhelmingly positive; however, a few concerns were noted. One reviewer reported a tragic, fatal outcome following a “routine” CCL surgery; another felt rushed during an end-of-life visit, and there were isolated administrative issues such as a denied consult and a complaint about a weight measurement. Apart from these rare instances, there were virtually no recurring negatives, with most comments reinforcing strong communication and care. The small number of critiques suggest opportunities to ensure consistent communication around high‑risk outcomes and sensitive appointment types.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners

  • If your pet needs knee or orthopaedic surgery, book a consult early and bring all prior records; the team provides detailed options and timelines.
  • Expect thorough pre‑ and post‑op education—plan time for questions and keep the provided recovery booklet handy at home.
  • Let staff know in advance if your pet is fearful or anxious; they tailor handling (soft voices, treats, floor exams) to reduce stress.
  • Ask about bundled surgical packages and follow‑up inclusions (medications, rechecks, x‑rays) mentioned by other clients.
  • For day‑of‑surgery peace of mind, confirm how you’d like updates (call/text/photo) and who should be contacted.
