Inglis Vets Care and Save

Inglis Vets Care and Save describes caring for pets for over 50 years and states that emergencies are covered 24 hours a day. The practice is also a veterinary nurse training facility, and multiple owners mention being seen by students during consultations and routine care.

From recent reviews, owners most often describe thorough explanations during appointments (including being talked through checks during a consultation) and supportive handling of end‑of‑life visits, including a handwritten sympathy card after a pet’s death. There is also a contrasting complaint about a nail trim done by a student without the owner being asked first, resulting in a cut and bleeding and confusion over whether the nail trim would be charged.
