In recent reviews, multiple long‑term clients describe continuity of care over many years (including ongoing management of chronic conditions like feline diabetes, and repeated visits for skin problems). Several owners also highlight discussions around costs and decision‑making, with one reviewer specifically praising transparent pricing and not making costs feel “ambiguous”. However, one recent 1‑star review reports a very different experience during a spine/lameness visit, describing high charges without a clear diagnosis or improvement—so experiences appear to vary, particularly around urgent care and outcomes.
