🐾Tips for Pet Owners

- If buying products, compare prices first or ask the team to explain pricing before purchase.
- Mention all concerns before the appointment, as reviewers say the team listens and may prepare ahead of time.
- Book early for cattery stays, grooming, puppy classes or Saturday appointments, as these services were specifically valued by owners.
