Owner Review Summary

Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say

👍What Pet Owners Praised

Owners consistently praised the team’s compassion, patience, and skill with anxious or reactive pets, noting gentle handling, treats, and a calm approach that makes visits low-stress. People also highlighted clear communication, thorough explanations with options, and proactive follow‑ups by phone or email (often including written visit summaries). Many mentioned being fit in quickly for urgent needs, and appreciated transparent, fair pricing without pressure for unnecessary add‑ons. Multiple reviews expressed long‑term trust and strong recommendations.

💬Common Feedback & Suggestions

Most concerns were about administration and communication: a few owners reported missed callbacks, delayed or forgotten referrals, a problematic prescription refill, and difficulty reaching the front desk at times. There were isolated complaints about travel paperwork (one reviewer felt the team couldn’t help with an EU certificate), and a small number of clinical criticisms, including a dismissed urinary concern and one poor surgical outcome. A couple of reviews also noted limited weekend availability. Overall, the vast majority of feedback was very positive, with these issues appearing infrequently.
