Owner Review Summary

👍What Pet Owners Praised

Owners consistently praised the team’s kindness, compassion and friendly manner, often noting that staff take time to explain things clearly and answer questions. Many long‑time clients said they trust the vets’ knowledge and thoroughness, and reported good experiences with routine care, surgeries like neuters, and help during difficult end‑of‑life moments. Several reviewers highlighted quick or efficient appointments and easy booking by email, as well as fair, reasonable pricing. Some also appreciated care for rabbits, birds and other small pets.

💬Common Feedback & Suggestions

A recurring concern was difficulty reaching the clinic by phone, including long holds and missed calls, with a few reports of lost records during a transition/merger and inconsistent messaging about accepting new clients. A small number mentioned brusque front‑desk interactions and a sense that service changed after staff turnover. Convenience issues included limited hours (not open on weekends, early Friday closure), tight parking, and past pandemic-era waits outside. Overall sentiment remains strongly positive, but clearer communication, improved phone responsiveness, and confirmation of policies and hours would help.
