I brought in a seriously wounded little cat that came to me for help. We'd established a relationship and he stayed in a shelter i kept outside for whoever needed it. One evening I was able to get close enough to realise his wounds were severe. Life threatening, possibly. To keep a long story as short as I can we ended up at NAVES under the care of Dr CJ who, despite being...

Saved our cat's life. We brought him in later afternon after he was showing signs of discomfort. Dr Armes immediately checked him out and found his urinary system was blocked up.

Hands down, the BEST veterinary team I’ve ever encountered! From the moment I walked in, Norma at the front desk welcomed us with such kindness and empathy — not only comforting my sweet Goldendoodle, but calming me as well.

This was an awesome experience for our pet and us. He was shown so much love and attention. Everything was explained to us and our questions were answered. Thank you for helping our fur baby.

It was a sudden dog attack against my furbaby! My regular vet was closed for the evening. My dog & I were both still shaken, but Dr. Armes and the staff were kind, patient, and took the time to explain the ER surgery beforehand. They helped make a traumatic experience, less so, and I was very pleased. My boy is healing, and resting at my feet now. Thank you!

First time using this emergency vet, and I was very happy with the service. My very elderly cat was exhibiting some alarming symptoms (which turned out to be just a 12 hour thing - she was fine the next day), and Dr. Armes put my concerns at ease. She spent plenty of time with me and my cat and discussed her condition and possible causes. Highly recommended.
