Testimonials
What our clients say
The Lost Dogs’ Home has been fantastic with both of our cats’ Isla and Maple general health and advising on their dental health. Both cats felt comfortable and safe while there which was great as one of them can be very nervous.
Nigel
Honey loves visiting the vets! The nurses always give her extra love and attention, and she always has a positive experience, which is so important for a puppy.
Mia
We began taking Bernie to the Lost Dogs’ Home after we moved to the area 2 years ago and could not be happier. He always has a very positive experience and loves going in. The vets are always friendly and the nurses love to give Bernie a few extra pats when he visits.
Alex
A potentially scary time was made easier thanks to the experience, love and kindness that was shown to Toby. His results have blown us away. Thank you so much!
Suzana
The Lost Dogs' Home Vet Hospital was amazing at making my cat feel calm and safe during his examination and vaccinations, they gave Kovu lots of love and treats and he loves visiting the vet now!
Bethany
Having recently moved to the area I used The Lost Dogs' Home Vet when my Maltese cross needed his glands done. The care and empathy from the nurse was excellent.
