Owners most often describe appointments where staff explain options clearly and help dogs feel settled (including a puppy whose owners were advised how to report a breeder for missing vaccination/microchip history). Several reviews also mention the team fitting appointments in with a dog’s background in mind. However, there are also stark negative accounts: one owner reports a cat became unwell after sedation and blood sampling with significant bruising, and another review alleges poor handling of an injured wild bird—so experiences appear mixed depending on the case and clinician.
