Were new to the area and introduced our dog and cat to Rob and the team. Everyone is so friendly and professional, Rob is very thorough. After a couple of false starts, unfortunately the cat needed to be put down recently. The team was flexible when we needed it and were so caring. A week later - a sympathy card arrived as well. Fabulous team.

We always have a pleasant experience when visiting. The staff have always been so caring, understanding and helpful. I am always confident and comfortable leaving our little one in their capable hands. They all go above and beyond to help, and follow up with a check in to see how our pets are doing after needing attention. Receiving appointment/vaccination reminders via text has also been a great help. I highly recommend their service!

Our 5 month-old Staffy suddenly fell ill on the day we were leaving to return to Sydney. Lisa promptly fitted us in with Erin and the service was exceptional. They were very thorough and knowlegeable and promptly put our minds at ease. Excellent with people as well as pets. Can't recommend them enough. Thank you!
