🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- Ask to stay with your pet during vaccinations or procedures if that matters to you, as a few owners wanted clearer expectations around this.
- Discuss costs and payment options before treatment; reviews mention both fair pricing and some concerns about unexpected or high fees.
- If your pet is anxious, tell the team in advance and ask about low-stress handling or familiarisation visits.
- Use the dog wash and free scales if helpful, as several owners found these practical extras useful.
- For complex decisions, ask the vet to talk through the options, risks and aftercare, which many reviewers said the team did well.
