Customer reviews

Great service and so knowledgeable, without being judged about it. Dr Clark is great with my cat and remembers what keeps her calm. Best for Pet program was recommended to me and has saved us lots of money on visits.

Best vets in Hamilton! I have been to this clinic many times for my dog and each time, the staff and vets are lovely. They have real care for the animals and go out of their way to ensure they are comfortable. They also explain things clearly.
Kayla Gattung
I genuinely appreciate the caring service received from vets, nurses and reception staff. Your senior vet has gone the extra mile to treat my little dog who has a life threatening tumour. He has consulted with other veterinary specialists to get the best advice and feed this back to me both by phone and in person. I will always appreciate the professional interest and support we've received.
