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.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- Book appointments well in advance where possible, as several owners describe the practice as busy.
- For urgent problems, phone ahead clearly; some reviews mention being seen quickly, but others report delayed call-backs.
- Ask for costs and planned procedures to be confirmed before tests, surgery or treatment begins.
- If your pet is having surgery, expect useful pre- and post-operative communication, and do not hesitate to ask follow-up questions.
- Use the onsite parking, and allow extra time in case the clinic is busy.
