Google rating: 4.8/5 from 316 reviews.
- •Recent feedback is overwhelmingly positive about friendly, professional care, with owners often mentioning clear explanations during vaccinations, routine check-ups and consultations.
- •Handling of nervous or difficult pets stands out repeatedly, including praise for calm care for an anxious dog, a blind dog, and a cat that was not cooperating during an appointment.
- •Follow-through is another strong theme, with examples including same-day appointments, next-day follow-up, and a later phone call to check on a cat’s progress.
- •One recent negative review raises concerns about communication, pressure around treatment decisions and inpatient care, but this sits alongside a much larger number of recent 5-star reviews praising the team’s kindness, responsiveness and professionalism.
