🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- For emergencies or after-hours visits, phone first and ask about the call-out or opening fee so there are no surprises.
- If cost is a concern, request an estimate before treatment or medication, as pricing feedback is mixed.
- Ask for written aftercare instructions and confirm the best follow-up channel, especially if you plan to email questions later.
- Mention nervous, reactive or high-maintenance pets when booking so the team can prepare for a calmer visit.
- For urgent cases, short-notice appointments are often praised, but allow extra time in case the clinic is busy.
