🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- If your pet needs urgent care, call first and clarify whether they can see unregistered or new clients that day.
- Ask for a written estimate before procedures, medicines or repeat prescriptions, as pricing feedback is mixed.
- Consider the VIP plan if your pet needs regular care, senior-pet support or frequent medication pickups.
- Use online booking where available, but follow up by phone for time-sensitive surgery or desexing bookings.
- Mention if your pet is nervous, elderly or medically complex; reviews suggest the team responds well with gentle handling and detailed explanations.
