Owner Review Summary

Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say

👍What Pet Owners Praised

Owners most consistently praised the team’s caring, gentle manner and friendly communication, especially during stressful situations such as surgery, accidents, seizures, serious illness and end-of-life care. Many reviews describe vets and nurses as knowledgeable, professional and thorough, with good follow-up calls and clear explanations before and after treatment. Long-term clients also repeatedly said they trust the clinic and would not go elsewhere.

💬Common Feedback & Suggestions

The reviews are overwhelmingly positive, but a small number raise serious concerns about wrong diagnosis or medication, poor communication, delayed call-backs and difficulty getting appointments or prescriptions followed up. A few owners felt reception interactions were rude or unhelpful, and one review reported an unexpected procedure cost without prior approval. Because the practice is often described as busy, booking ahead and confirming details appears important.
