Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners most often praised the friendly, caring and helpful team, from reception through to the vets and nurses. Many reviews describe compassionate handling of dogs and cats, clear explanations, attentive follow-up, and staff who make both pets and owners feel comfortable. Several owners also highlighted strong clinical care, including senior pet support, emergency help, orthopaedic surgery, health advice, desexing and microchipping, and difficult end-of-life care.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
The reviews are overwhelmingly positive, but there are a few serious concerns. One owner felt young clients were pressured into unaffordable surgery for an elderly dog, and another said the business seemed too focused on money after losing a dog. A minor communication suggestion was that the clinic include both partners in updates when one owner is not always available.
