Owner Review Summary

Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say

👍What Pet Owners Praised

Owners consistently praised the team’s calm, compassionate manner and clear communication during stressful emergencies. Many reported swift triage, thorough diagnostics, and life‑saving care for issues like bloat/GDV, urinary blockages, toxin ingestions, and other surgical needs, with good follow‑up and status updates. Several noted the facility is modern and very clean, and that staff took time to explain options and risks.

💬Common Feedback & Suggestions

While most feedback is positive, a notable minority raised concerns about high or unclear costs and a perception of upselling. Multiple reviewers said the clinic is not truly open 24/7 and urged calling ahead, and a few reported long waits or feeling rushed or dismissed by front‑desk staff. A small number alleged misdiagnosis or inadequate care tied to poor outcomes, and one family reported keepsakes were missed after euthanasia. Overall sentiment is strong, but expectations around hours, pricing transparency, and wait times should be managed.
