Reviews

Google rating: 4.5/5 from 104 reviews. Recent feedback gives a mixed picture, with both strong praise and some sharper complaints.

• •Several reviews describe the practice as capable with both farm animals and pets, with examples including livestock, pet lambs, dogs and a hen.
• •Positive comments highlight helpful staff, routine health checks, and thorough workups, including one review describing X-rays, ultrasound and blood tests carried out quickly for a dog whose condition worsened fast.
• •Compassion during difficult appointments is a recurring positive theme, with one owner specifically thanking Jonathon and a nurse for a kind and professional euthanasia visit.
