From the latest reviews, owners most often describe

  • End-of-life support, including a home visit euthanasia attended by a vet and nurse, with reception staff (named) helping make the process easier.
  • Being fitted in despite a busy schedule for a dog that became unwell before travel.
  • Aftercare and “next steps” being discussed in detail after treatment—though a small number of reviews report the opposite, warning of poor verbal communication and advising clients to read written notes carefully.

Reviews

Google rating: 4.7 stars from 140 reviews.

  • End-of-life care: a recent review describes a home euthanasia where the team helped make a difficult situation “that bit easier,” with specific staff named.
  • Getting seen when urgent: one owner says they were fit in despite the practice being very busy, and their dog recovered quickly.
  • Explanations and follow-up: multiple reviews mention staff explaining everything, discussing aftercare/next steps, and welcoming nervous or reluctant pets (one dog reportedly “pulls to get into” the clinic).
  • Communication is mixed: at least one reviewer reports poor verbal communication about treatment details and advises reading written communication thoroughly.
