🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- Book ahead where possible, but reviews suggest the team can sometimes fit urgent or short-notice visits in.
- Ask for a clear estimate before treatment, especially for ear infections, desexing or other procedures, as pricing feedback was mixed.
- If your pet is anxious or cat-sensitive, mention this when booking so staff can help manage the waiting-room experience.

- Use follow-up calls or written notes if offered, as several owners found aftercare guidance helpful.
