Clinic Overview

Vets4Pets (described on its website as a locally owned practice) that offers a broad range of in-house diagnostics and surgery, including orthopaedics and physiotherapy, and states it accepts referrals from other practices. The setup appears geared to both routine care (microchipping, neutering, health plans) and more complex cases (e.g., cruciate surgery, fracture repair, endoscopy, echocardiography).

Decision-relevant details owners mention in reviews include

  • Handling nervous dogs well, with specific vets named as helping an anxious dachshund feel at ease.
  • Clear explanations of treatment options during consultations (a cat visit described as being assessed quickly, then explained in detail).
  • Not being pressured into “non necessary” medication (one owner explicitly contrasts this with expectations of a corporate chain).
  • A notable front-desk complaint from one reviewer who says they couldn’t get a simple booking sorted and felt “upsold” insurance, while others describe easy registration and appointment availability.

People

Named individuals mentioned positively in reviews

  • Stef (team member; role not stated): praised for being “extremely helpful” on the phone about a gerbil and “going above and beyond.”
  • Bronwyn (vet): mentioned as helping a nervous dachshund feel at ease.
  • Annelie (vet): also credited with putting the same nervous dog at ease.
  • Dr Agos (vet): specifically praised for treating a dog with a “very bad ear infection,” with the dog later showing a positive reaction on seeing him.

Front-desk experience is mixed in the latest reviews available: one reviewer describes an “older…short hair” receptionist as unhelpful and confusing during an attempt to book microchipping/neutering, while other reviewers describe reception and appointment coordination as accommodating.

Reviews

Google rating: 4.4 stars from 212 reviews.

  • Positive clinical communication: owners describe vets explaining conditions and treatment options clearly, and “fabulous” communication during difficult cases.
  • Comfort with anxious pets: multiple details about nervous dogs relaxing with specific vets; one owner reports both dogs “love coming.”
  • Value/pressure to buy: one reviewer explicitly says they were not pressured into unnecessary medication and found fees “very reasonable,” while a 1-star review reports feeling pushed toward insurance during a simple booking request.
  • Client experience varies at reception: several reviews describe easy registration and appointment availability, but one detailed complaint reports leaving without an appointment after trying to book in person and receiving contradictory follow-up messages.
