Fauna Veterinary

Fauna Veterinary is an independent clinic (not described as part of a corporate group) that presents itself as welcoming “pets of every kind,” and is listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. Recent reviews describe a practice that’s set up for both routine care (annual boosters, parasite prevention) and same-day problem solving (an eye issue “seen without delay,” and a foxtail/grass dart up the nose handled with sedation). Owners repeatedly mention a calm, slow-paced visit style for nervous dogs, plus practical touches like vaccination reminders and flea/worming tablets delivered on time via a pet plan. One recent review strongly disputes the experience, alleging the clinic is “a money making machine,” which conflicts with the predominantly positive feedback.

People

• •Dr. Punit: named in multiple reviews. Owners describe him explaining plans clearly and not rushing appointments (e.g., “takes the time to explain everything clearly”), and being quick to check a dog with a suspected nasal foxtail before proceeding to sedation.

• •The wider team: several reviews mention staff using space + treats to manage anxious/reactive dogs and creating a calm atmosphere; one owner also mentions pets stopping by for weigh-ins followed by treats/cuddles.
