Treats:
cat

Across the latest reviews, owners repeatedly describe coming for second opinions and getting clearer answers quickly—one owner says they were told what was wrong with their kitten “within 5 minutes” after another vet had suggested euthanasia, and another reports tests and a diagnosis (urinary stones) completed within a day followed by surgery. Several reviews also mention detailed explanations and planning (for example, short- and medium-term treatment plans for skin disease, and thorough discussion of what would happen on surgery days). Out-of-hours support is also described in practice: one owner reports being able to send a photo, discuss the issue, and get seen on a Sunday morning for a wound check.
