• •Handling of anxious/nervous pets: owners describe staff taking time, using treats/fuss before procedures, and not rushing the appointment.
• •Speed of being seen for urgent issues: multiple reviews mention getting appointments quickly (including being moved earlier than initially offered) and regular updates while a dog was sick.
• •Communication: explanations “easy to understand” and discussions of options (e.g., mobility management for an older dog).
• •Facilities noted by clients: separate areas for cats and dogs; a spacious waiting room; one review remarks the practice didn’t have a strong “vet smell.”
• •A minority negative note: one owner was unhappy with the cost and process of pet travel paperwork (saying the dogs were only microchip-scanned) and also reported a 20‑minute wait for a morning booster appointment—though they still said the vet was “extremely good.”
