Clinic Overview
- Several recent 5-star reviews are brief but positive, praising the staff as “lovely” and “very caring.” - Two 1-star reviews from November 2025 make the same serious complaint about an 8-month-old puppy being put to sleep when the reviewers say a same-day rehoming option existed. - Another 1-star review from January 2026 alleges a young dog’s condition was misread over multiple visits, with a foreign object later identified by another vet and treated as an emergency. - Across these recent written reviews, the main positives are staff friendliness and warmth, while the main negatives are communication, empathy and confidence in handling urgent or complex cases.
