Cannot fault the out of hours service. Just wish my cat would stop picking weekends! Easy to contact, always available parking and super knowledgeable vet on call. It might have cost me a kidney but my cat was well cared for by both vet and nurse, and I was given updates and options throughout treatment. Thank you – Andrea T – Google Review
