Flynn Vets helped me even though they aren’t my regular vets. My vet practice was closed when (something I would consider) an emergency happened to our dog. I called Flynn Vets because I heard very good reviews about them. They talked me through the details of what to do and look out for and give me a prescription for something that might help (might help because we realised too late). They gave me information on what out of hours vets to call (as they were also closing and probably couldn’t help me further than what they already had due to not being registered). I contacted the out of hours vets too and they advised me to keep my pet at home and keep an eye on her, as soon as she displays any symptoms of x, y, z, then to bring her in. All of this help kept us calm and reassured that the help was there if we needed it. Thankfully, our pet has been ok and has not displayed any of the warning symptoms! Though we have to wait 3 days before we are out of the woods, and that is in another 12hours, approximately. So fingers crossed! Thanks Flynn Vets for all your help!!

We just picked up our cat Keke today after her two-week stay at The Cat Loft at Flynn Vets, and we couldn’t be more grateful. She came home relaxed, cheerful, and eating and drinking normally — it’s clear she was genuinely cared for. A heartfelt thank you to Megan and Johanna for their kindness, patience, and thoughtful updates throughout Keke’s stay. Knowing she was in such capable and loving hands gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We were so impressed with the care that we’ve now decided to officially register Keke with Flynn Vets. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a calm, caring, and professional place for cat boarding — with very reasonable pricing too.

Kiki has been with Flynn Vets since we got her at 8 weeks old. She is now almost 11 years old. Last Easter she became very ill and we thought we might lose her. Kirsten spent so much time trying to figure out what was going on and arranging visits and test with other vets in the area. The care Kiki received was second to none and she is back to her old self enjoying life. Would definitely recommend Flynn Vets.
