• •Short-notice access: owners mention being seen the same day or being “fitted in at short notice.”
• •Handling anxious/reactive dogs: multiple reviews describe steady, careful handling to reduce stress (including using treats during the exam).
• •Efficiency and convenience: one owner highlighted sorting the issue and completing injection top-ups in the same visit.
• •A minority concern about money focus and accuracy of hours information: one reviewer says the practice became “purely money orientated” after becoming Medivet and complains that hours shown online/at the door were incorrect; this conflicts with the predominantly positive recent experiences.
