The website highlights practical facilities such as digital X‑ray, ultrasound and in‑house blood testing, plus a dedicated cat waiting area; reviews also mention clean, “fit for purpose” surroundings and a calm, reassuring reception on arrival.

Owners most often describe clear explanations (diagnosis discussed “in a very clear manner” and treatment options talked through) and supportive handling of stressful situations—from seeing a cat at short notice when another practice was fully booked, to compassionate care after a pet’s passing. A minority note potential trade-offs: one reviewer mentions lots of staff changes over the years and that it can sometimes be difficult to get an appointment with a vet, though they specifically praise the veterinary nurses.
