I appreciate the whole team in the clinic. My 19 year old cat was brought back to life by their emergency team, who were very caring and professional. Then Katia took charge of her care, she is very thorough and patient in every way possible. She is so prompt in replying and arranging things needed for my cat, truly knowledgeable and confident so you can totally rely on her opinion without having to be in panic or research different ways around on your own. I trust them and would leave my cats’ life on their hands with peace of mind – Jisun Y – Google Review
