Reviews

Google rating: 4 stars from 70 reviews. “”

  • Out-of-hours care is a major theme, with some describing compassionate end‑of‑life support (time to say goodbye) and others describing poor bedside manner and disputed billing.
  • Communication style appears polarising: “pragmatic and honest” and “no nonsense” for some, versus “rude,” “patronising,” and argumentative for others (including a dispute about diet advice and parasite prevention).
  • Concerns about admin/fees and scheduling show up in multiple negative reviews: a charge for signing an insurance form, and an appointment reportedly cancelled because “the vet has somewhere else to be,” with the caller left feeling there was limited vet availability unless paying extra.
