  • "Had to wait an hour in the car park as nobody was allowed in the building."

Cost and Pricing

Pros:

Cons:

  • "Imagine then on picking her up the next day we were presented with an extra bill of £276.50."
  • "Very,very expensive. They quoted £1000 and four days later when the dog was taken in it had changed to £1400."
  • "The prices have hit the roof! and are double the going rate."
  • "Called today to register my two dogs, to be told they are charging £25 per dog (registration fee)."
  • "We were basically taken advantage of, emotionally blackmailed and the 'vet surgeon' told us that if our bunny wasn't kept in over night at the bargain rate of £600 he would die."
