Owner Review Summary

Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say

👍What Pet Owners Praised

Owners consistently praised the warm, compassionate team and their long‑standing trust in the vets, especially Dr. Stacey. Reviews highlight thorough, clear explanations, careful follow‑ups, and strong outcomes for surgeries and dental procedures, including seniors and complex cases. Many appreciated how quickly the clinic could fit in urgent visits and how easy booking and communication were, including via an app. Several noted transparent, reasonable costs and no pressure for unnecessary tests.

💬Common Feedback & Suggestions

While the tone is overwhelmingly positive, a few reviewers reported poor experiences with reception or communication and, in isolated cases, felt a particular vet was curt or dismissive. There were occasional complaints about pricing—such as higher‑than‑expected charges, exam fees, or pricey flea products. A small number described negative or even traumatic visits and advised seeking another clinic, but these were clear exceptions among largely favourable feedback.
