Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the clinic’s compassionate, team-based care and clear communication, especially during emergencies and challenging cases. Many report excellent surgical outcomes (e.g., TPLO/CCL repairs, dental extractions) and thoughtful follow-ups by phone or email. Reviewers also appreciated being squeezed in for urgent visits, gentle handling of anxious pets, and respectful, caring end‑of‑life support, sometimes with paw/nose print keepsakes.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
While reviews are largely positive, several owners felt pricing was high, citing unexpected fees (such as exam charges during euthanasia), costly cremation options, and more expensive food compared to other sources. A few reported diagnostic disagreements or recommendations they felt were unnecessary, plus occasional communication lapses (like delayed callbacks) and limited appointment availability during busy periods. Some also noted policies that felt impersonal at times (e.g., not being present during exams in certain periods, or not selling supplies to non‑clients).

🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- For urgent issues, call ahead—many reviewers were accommodated quickly, even on busy days or weekends.
- Ask for an itemized estimate up front and clarify any euthanasia or cremation fees to avoid surprises.
- Book routine checkups in advance during peak times, as some owners reported waits of about a week.
- If you prefer to be present during exams, confirm the current policy when booking, as this has varied over time.
- For orthopaedic or dental procedures, discuss the aftercare plan—reviewers frequently noted helpful follow‑ups and clear home‑care instructions.
