“Towards my boys last days, the team could not have been more kind and caring towards us both. David made a special effort to see us or call and check even when he wasn’t rostered on. When the time came to need to be put to sleep, the staff were very accommodating and kind when I wanted it done in his beanbag in the car etc. My boy always felt calm and I felt he was always looked after. Thank you!” –Katy Pakinga

REVIEWS:
“Great service. Lovely staff. My senior-sociopath-semiferal cat Hugo was obviously not impressed by the crate and the car ride (menacing meows and looks were), but the doc quickly put him at ease and with pats and treats, completed his check-up and even gave him a shot so smoothly that Hugo didn’t even blink. Thanks, doc! 😊” –Ilse Potes Morales
