Reviews
Google rating: 4.6/5 from 130 reviews. Written feedback is mixed overall.
- •Several positive reviews praise kind, professional care, including one detailed account of Louise managing a very unwell dog through a two-night stay and keeping the owner updated throughout.
- •Other happy clients mention being seen quickly, friendly staff, clean premises, and strong outcomes in urgent cases such as fish-hook removal.
- •The main negative theme is billing and cost transparency, with complaints about higher-than-expected charges for an ultrasound visit and an emergency urinary obstruction case.
- •One detailed complaint also raises concerns about continuity of care, a missed Solensia supply at a scheduled appointment, and the clinic’s cat housing and overnight monitoring arrangements.
