- Several low-star reviews focus on a single booster-related incident involving a dachshund, with repeated posts from connected reviewers alleging the dog became paralysed after the appointment and was later euthanised. - Other negative feedback centres on communication and diagnostic concerns, including one long-term client who says arthritis noted in earlier records was not clearly communicated, and that a later eye problem was initially downplayed before another vet suspected a tumour. - One older review describes a cat being treated for a urinary or kidney issue before later imaging elsewhere found a foreign object, and criticises the practice for inconsistent care between different vets.

- Urgent help is a clear positive theme: one owner says their dog was accepted immediately for a severe bee-sting reaction and treated straight away, with staff described as lovely and reassuring. - Some consultation experiences are warmly praised: a cat owner said the team were supportive from reception through to the vet, and that their cat received high-quality care for a painful mouth injury. - Communication problems come up repeatedly: several reviews say the practice can be hard to reach by phone, with frustration about the lack of other contact options.

- Positive feedback highlights a friendly, helpful approach, with one owner saying they would not take their cavapoo anywhere else. - The main recent criticism is around charges for follow-up care: one reviewer felt misled after paying a...

- Positive feedback highlights a friendly, helpful approach, with one owner saying they would not take their cavapoo anywhere else. - The main recent criticism is around charges for follow-up care: one reviewer felt misled after paying a full consultation fee for a very brief recheck. - Recent written feedback is limited and mixed, so the small number of comments does not point in a single clear direction.
