🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- Ask for a written estimate in advance and clarify what’s included, especially for surgeries, to avoid surprises.
- If your pet is anxious or reactive, let the team know—reviewers note they use quiet spaces, treats, and very gentle handling.
- For urgent issues, call early; many reviewers reported same‑day or short‑notice appointments.
- Plan a little extra time for parking/street parking nearby, which reviewers found manageable but not guaranteed.
- If your pet is going under anaesthesia, ask whether needed procedures (e.g., dental cleaning) can be combined in one visit.
