🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- Ask for a full written estimate including GST, revisit fees and any extras before treatment or surgery.
- If your pet needs urgent care, call early; several owners were fitted in quickly, including on weekends, but phone access was not always reliable.
- Allow extra time for pick-up or paperwork, as a few reviews mention waits or booking mix-ups.
- Ask the vet to explain treatment options, payment options and aftercare, as reviewers often found this helpful.
- For grooming visits, discuss coat condition, skin sensitivity and any previous grooming problems beforehand.
