Gave my dog excellent care and treatment and now he's on the road to recovery from tick paralysis. If you come to NSW/ QLD from WA, the flea/tick treatments you have been giving your pet might not be good enough for here.

So I did not come here in a great space as our little dog had been hit by a car. They did everything they could and were so professional on everything they did. He died in my arms as his injuries were just too great. These guys comforted us and let us take Jerry home to bury him under his favourite tree he'd chase the Kookaburras out of.

Clinic response ():

Response from the owner 6 years agoWe are so sorry for your loss and hope you find comfort in the many happy memories you shared with Jerry. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to work with him and may he rest in peace under his favourite tree.
