Concrete specifics supported by available sources

  • The clinic website states non-emergency cases only.
  • The website indicates work with large animals and small animals (mentioned as site sections).
  • Reviews specifically mention ongoing care for two sick dogs and efforts to investigate (“no stone was left unturned”).
  • One review reports loss of a dog within 12 hours of being told the dog had a “healthy heart,” and another case where the owner says a second vet found kidney failure after being told it was diabetes/heart failure.

Services

  • Non-emergency appointments only (stated on the clinic website).
  • Large animal and small animal care (referenced on the website via “Large Animals” and “Small Animal” sections).
  • Care for unwell dogs over multiple visits/weeks (reviews describe two sick dogs treated over “past couple weeks”).
  • Reviews mention cases involving: infection treated with antibiotics, and serious illness where owners discuss diabetes/heart failure vs kidney failure (as reported by the reviewer who sought a second opinion).

People

  • Yvonne (vet, role implied by multiple reviews): mentioned repeatedly as the vet owners interacted with. Examples given include helping a dog feel “very relaxed,” and leading care for “2 sick dogs” over “a couple weeks.”
  • Michelle and Brendan (team members; roles not specified in reviews): credited alongside Yvonne for providing care to two sick dogs over recent weeks, with the owner saying the team tried everything they could to get them well.

Reviews

4.7 stars from 27 reviews. - Many recent reviews are very brief 5-star endorsements (“Brilliant vet,” “Very very good Vet,” “The best Vet I’ve ever met”).

  • Several reviews give specific positives about handling and reassurance, including one saying Yvonne made their dog feel very relaxed, and another calling the vet very hardworking.
  • A detailed 1-star review reports two negative outcomes in the same family: one dog dying within 12 hours after being told it had a “healthy heart,” and another where the owner says a different vet diagnosed kidney failure after they were told it was diabetes/heart failure and “wasn’t a big issue.” This directly conflicts with other reviewers’ experiences of thorough care.
