  • Kindness during difficult situations is mentioned in several reviews, including end-of-life care for a dog with cancer and ongoing tenderness towards a cat.
  • Specific treatments people say they’ve had done here include dental cleaning, vaccinations, blood tests, emergency appointments, and surgery for a lump.
  • Communication and empathy are a point of conflict: some reviewers describe compassion and reassurance, while others describe “no empathy” and difficulty getting information.
  • Access in urgent situations is also mixed: one reviewer says they were turned away when seeking emergency help for a suspected ear infection despite the clinic being quiet and despite agreeing to pay the stated fee.
  • Cost expectations can cause frustration: one review focuses on being quoted £25 for nail clipping (framed as a consultation charge) and feeling the explanation was inadequate.
