Owner Review Summary

Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say

👍What Pet Owners Praised

Owners consistently praised the compassionate, patient care and clear communication from both veterinarians and support staff, especially with anxious pets and first-time visits. Many noted thorough exams, thoughtful advice, and effective treatments that led to quick improvements, along with strong follow-up. Convenience stood out with easy online/text booking, same-day or urgent appointments, evening and 7‑day availability, and available parking. Grooming services were repeatedly highlighted as professional, gentle, and reliable.

💬Common Feedback & Suggestions

While reviews are largely positive, several owners felt prices were high or that there was pressure toward costlier testing, with a few calling it a cash grab. A minority reported service concerns such as delayed follow-up on results, an instance of no vet available for a scheduled vaccine, and one complaint about privacy/confidentiality. There was an isolated cleanliness concern about the reception area, and a few comments claiming a decline since corporate ownership, including one serious allegation of discriminatory behaviour and a report of insensitive handling during euthanasia. These were exceptions amid otherwise strong feedback.
