• •Recent feedback is largely very positive about friendly staff, prompt service, and owners using the practice for routine, emergency, and senior care over many years.
• •Treatment outcomes are a recurring strength in written reviews, especially BOAS surgery for a French Bulldog, with the owner reporting easier breathing, better exercise tolerance, and no snoring afterwards.
• •Compassionate support around difficult moments also stands out, including a house-visit euthanasia that one owner says was handled gently and professionally.
• •A small amount of negative feedback focuses on cost and changing vets, but this sits alongside many longer-term reviews praising empathy, attentiveness, and overall care.
