Owner Review Summary

Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say

👍What Pet Owners Praised

Owners consistently praised the team’s compassionate, down‑to‑earth care, clear communication, and willingness to take time with pets and their people. Many highlighted excellent outcomes with dental work and surgeries, gentle handling of seniors and anxious or reactive pets, and thoughtful follow‑ups. Pricing was often described as reasonable or lower than other clinics, with no pressure for unnecessary procedures. Loyal clients report travelling from outside town and returning for years.

💬Common Feedback & Suggestions

Reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with only a few concerns noted. A handful of reviewers mentioned delayed callbacks or quotes and an online booking request that isn’t real‑time, plus one report of a rude interaction at reception. There were isolated complaints about higher‑than‑expected fees for specific services (e.g., anal gland expression) and one serious report of misdiagnosis. A couple of reviews also noted that the clinic may not be able to accommodate emergencies at all times (e.g., Sundays).
