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 veterinarians who listen and take time to explain treatments clearly, often providing thorough exams and even take‑home notes. Many highlighted strong medical care and outcomes across routine visits and urgent situations — including fitting in travellers and a life‑saving emergency surgery — as well as a modern, clean facility with a good selection of pet foods.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
Reviews are largely positive, but several owners felt prices were high, cited emergency or referral fees, or mentioned feeling overcharged, with one unhappy about a sales‑like framing of care options. A few also reported referral frustrations and noted limited emergency coverage on Sundays and holidays that can mean a long trip down island. Aside from these concerns, feedback on staff attitude and quality of care was overwhelmingly favourable.
