Owner Review Summary

Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say

👍What Pet Owners Praised

Owners consistently praised the team’s compassion and professionalism, especially during difficult end‑of‑life visits, along with friendly, helpful communication at the front desk. Many cited knowledgeable vets and strong outcomes, including successful cruciate (CCL) surgeries, thorough preventive care, and a rare-condition diagnosis followed by an appropriate referral. Several also mentioned quick, well‑organised visits, follow‑up calls, and being accommodated on short notice or while travelling.

💬Common Feedback & Suggestions

A minority of reviewers reported access frustrations—being turned away as lapsed or new clients, or told small animals weren’t being seen that day—and felt availability policies could be clearer. A few serious concerns questioned diagnostic thoroughness, citing a refused blood test request, suspected misdiagnoses (including Lyme vs. lymphoma), and one vaccination‑related incident. Pricing was generally viewed as fair, though one person reported a surprise charge and suggested clearer estimates and invoices. Overall sentiment was positive, but these access and diagnostic concerns were the main themes among negative reviews.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners

Call ahead to confirm they are accepting new or lapsed clients that day and to check which location has availability.
For urgent issues (e.g., porcupine quills), ask about same‑day options and request referral guidance if the clinic is booked or on large‑animal duty.
If you want specific diagnostics like bloodwork, discuss it upfront and ask for the rationale if a test is declined.
For surgeries (CCL repair, dental, spay/neuter), ask about wait times, aftercare, and costs, and request a written estimate.
Review your invoice before leaving to ensure charges match what was quoted.
