People

  • Chris (receptionist, per a review): one reviewer describes repeated booking issues for a cat’s time-sensitive injections (scheduled too early on multiple occasions), long waits, and being “turned away,” attributing the problems and attitude to him.
  • A nurse (unnamed, per a review): described as noticing the injection appointment was too early and requiring rebooking.
  • Female assistant (unnamed, per a review): described as apologetic and as helping to “sort” a booking/queueing situation.
  • Veterinary team (unnamed, per multiple reviews): several reviewers describe vets as informative, and one credits them with saving a cat’s life by correcting prior surgical problems. Other reviews mention staff being patient with nervous cats and helping pets feel at ease.

Reviews

Google rating: 4.7 stars from 263 reviews. - Complex care praised: one owner says the clinic took over after another vet’s “seriously botched operation,” performed a corrective operation, and the cat recovered well.

  • Pet handling and communication: multiple reviewers mention pets being treated in a way that puts them at ease, with staff taking time to be patient with anxious cats.
  • Reception/booking concerns (strongly negative in some reviews): one reviewer reports repeated incorrect bookings for a cat’s 28-day injection schedule, waits of over 1.5 hours, and being turned away without rebooking; another reports an unhelpful/condescending phone interaction when asking about help for an injured stray cat.
  • Vaccination disagreements: one reviewer believes the clinic tries to “over vaccinate,” noting use of Lepto L4 and that requesting L2 may require paying for a full box.
