Clinic Overview

Cornerstone Veterinary Clinic treats dogs, cats and “other family pets,” and says it offers both primary and urgent care. It’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews repeatedly describe a team-based experience (reception, nurses and vets) and mention support for complex, ongoing conditions—one owner describes cancer care “every step… right to the end,” and another highlights detailed, ongoing management for a diabetic dog with clear explanations of the care plan.

Concrete specifics owners mention include staff helping pets feel at ease during appointments (especially cats), continuity/familiarity with long-term patients (“the whole staff knows [the dog] so well”), and help with pet passport vaccinations described as “easy and painless.”
