🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- Ask for medication to be demonstrated or divided before you leave, especially if tablets are very small.
- Request a written estimate and clarify any extra medication or follow-up costs before treatment proceeds.
- If your pet has a complex or urgent condition, ask what tests, handover notes, and contingency plans are being arranged.
- Book by phone or email, as several owners found communication and booking straightforward when it went well.
- For end-of-life care or mobility issues, discuss support options early and confirm what the clinic can and cannot provide.
