Services

• •Routine veterinary care: general appointments, annual boosters, and day-to-day health support are all reflected in the clinic’s existing summary, with recent owners also mentioning care for kittens, cats, and dogs.

• •Behaviour-aware handling and nail care: one detailed review highlights a planned, calm approach for a dog with very overgrown nails who would not normally allow handling.
• •Ongoing care for serious conditions: owners specifically mention support through a dog’s cancer diagnosis and treatment journey.
• •Home visit support: one owner describes Dr Debo visiting a dog at home after a medical emergency to avoid the stress of travelling back to the practice.

Pricing

A very limited amount of published pricing suggests the clinic may sit below average, but this is based on very few comparable services. That broadly matches owner comments describing the practice as reasonably priced or competitive, with praise for not seeming to add unnecessary tests or services.
