Clinic Overview

Coastal Vets is described in recent reviews as a modern, calm-feeling practice with practical steps to reduce pet stress—one reviewer notes separate waiting areas for dogs and cats. Owners mention both routine and more involved care, including a nail trim for an extremely nervous dog (with medication offered) and a major dental case involving extraction of 16 teeth after an accident. Several reviews centre on vet Violeta, with owners crediting her with clear expertise in complex cases, including situations where they felt previous vets had misdiagnosed problems.
