Excellent care and compassion. Our dog had a large bite in his tummy and we were seen as an emergency. Throughout the consultation and the after care discussion we were at ease with the advice given. Fantastic way they treated our dog who was extremely frightened and upset by being attacked. Superb staff and extremely clean kennels and rest area. Can't recommend highly enough. Thank you.
