• •Recent feedback is strongly positive about the team’s kindness and compassion, especially during euthanasia and other emotionally difficult moments.
• •Owners also highlight support with long-running or complex cases, including one dog with neurological problems and paralysis over a 12-month period.
• •A repeated theme is the practice trying to accommodate urgent needs, with reports of pets being fitted in quickly, emergency availability, and one non-registered pet being seen promptly.
