Same-day help is also mentioned for an urgent issue (a dog that broke a tooth in half) (reviews).

A recurring practical point from one detailed review: there may be a strict appointment policy for purchasing clinic-supplied items, and the reviewer describes an uncomfortable reception interaction and lack of email follow-up, alongside otherwise very positive experiences with the vets (reviews).
