The group states it has 24‑hour on‑site emergency care and hospitalisation for small animals at its hospital site (facilitated by MiNightVet). In the latest reviews available to us, owners most often mention being able to see the same vet over time, clear explanations during appointments, and a waiting area that feels calmer for cats (a dedicated cat area is specifically mentioned).
