Owner Review Summary

Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say

👍What Pet Owners Praised

Owners consistently praised the kind, compassionate team and vets who take time to explain findings, answer questions, and follow up after visits. Many cited excellent outcomes from surgeries (including tumour removals, fracture repair, and dental procedures), thoughtful end‑of‑life care, and vets who go above and beyond in emergencies and after hours. Reviewers also appreciated timely appointments, gentle handling of anxious pets, and long‑term continuity of care.

💬Common Feedback & Suggestions

The most common concern was cost: several reviewers felt prices were high, mentioned upcharging/upselling, or said extensive testing led to large bills with limited answers. A few noted operational issues such as incorrect posted hours on a Sunday, occasional long waits and a hot/unclean seating area, and frustration with not being allowed inside during certain periods or fees to be present during euthanasia. There were isolated reports of misdiagnosis or no clear diagnosis. Accessibility of the facility was mentioned as a challenge by one reviewer, though staff did accommodate with curbside assistance.
