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 vets who take time to listen, explain options and set reasonable expectations. Many cited thorough, diligent care with strong diagnostics (e.g., finding diabetes and UTIs, timely ultrasound leading to life‑saving surgery), and kind support during emergencies and end‑of‑life decisions. Reviewers also appreciated practical conveniences like being accommodated when fully booked, staff staying late, two sister locations for easier booking, and Fear Free handling. Follow‑up check‑ins after procedures and success with routine needs like nail trims were also noted.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
Criticism focused on pricing: several reviewers reported bills well above estimates, perceived upselling or repeated testing, and costs they felt were high or poorly explained (including dental work bundled with a cleaning). A few owners felt diagnoses or emergency treatments missed the mark, and there were isolated mentions of rude or unhelpful front‑desk interactions and lack of post‑procedure follow‑up. One reviewer said a favourite doctor had left. Overall, the feedback is largely positive, but clearer estimates, cost transparency and consistent communication would address most concerns.
