Always have a great experience here - friendly, relaxed and empathetic, but efficient and professional. They fitted me and my dog in between other patients for a check over after an incident. So grateful for all they do

Penny Walker

The vet was great: very gentle with our cat, gave her a thorough examination and advice on how to keep her healthy, explained the vaccinations she was having any why some weren’t needed this year. He also gave advice on how to check for fleas, given my choice not to use preventative flea treatments for environmental reasons. Although the waiting room is small they have separate vet and together benches.

So impressed with the expertise and warmth of vet Zeta, who explains clearly and in-depth and provides excellent care. Kelly on front desk is lovely and super helpful. They've always gone above and beyond for us and our cats.

I adopted my cat & was able to get free new pet check at my local clinic within 2 days! Throughout the whole experience the staff were welcoming and warm, they gave me so much great advice moving forward. Very gentle and supportive with my cat - also got his nails cut down for the first time, they made it look easy lol! Definitely recommend - they now have another very happy & loyal customer! THANKS TEAM!!
