Owner Review Summary

Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say

👍What Pet Owners Praised

Owners consistently praised the caring, compassionate team and their clear, patient communication. Many noted gentle handling of nervous pets, helpful follow‑ups, and smooth wellness visits and vaccinations. Several reviews highlighted successful procedures, including dental extractions and gum surgery, and appreciated being fit in quickly for urgent concerns.

💬Common Feedback & Suggestions

Concerns centred on pricing and perceived upselling, with some finding routine care expensive and noting mandatory exams before certain vaccines. A number of reviewers reported front‑desk issues—rushed or rude interactions, difficulty reaching staff by phone, and delays sending records—plus occasional long waits or trouble booking when the clinic was full. Experiences around end‑of‑life care were mostly compassionate, but one account described a distressing euthanasia visit; one reviewer also alleged their cat picked up fleas after a visit. Overall the tone is largely positive, with these issues raised by a minority.
