Report
I have to say I am very impressed with the transparency of this Vet Clinic. I had to organise a vet exam on a horse from Australia which we pre-paid. Karen was very thorough in her examination and recommended we not proceed with the expensive part of the exam as the horse did not meet our requirements. They could have easily have done the complete exam, and it is greatly appreciated that it was stopped midway awaiting our approval. Thank you!
