Robert Ryan and Kerry Boswell:

Recently we noticed our dearly beloved rabbit was not well.As with all animals it stresses him greatly to be caught and taken in the car to the vet. Hence, we delayed until it was deemed unavoidable.

At the clinic he was not himself; frozen stiff with fear.Hence, the vet obtained a distorted impression and gave a diagnosis that was very grim. He suggested we strongly consider euthanasia. We opted to think about it.

I decided to get a second opinion, for someone to see him at home. Also if I was going to have to have Bunny-O put to sleep I did not want for his last hour to be one of awful stress; of being caught, caged, taken in the car to the vet.

I learnt of the Furry Tales home vet service.I was very impressed with their service and attention to detail. By seeing him in his home environment - relatively relaxed and much more co-operative and active - they were able to give Bunny-O a much more thorough examination.

Their diagnosis of a milder and more gradual degenerative condition makes much more sense. This is attested by the fact that several weeks later he's still with us and whilst quite old, seemingly happy enough.

I highly recommend that you have a home visit by the Furry Tales team, as opposed to subjecting your loved ones to an incredibly stressful trip to a clinic.

Thank you so much for your on-going care of Leila and Ralph. Over the years my family and I have owned several dogs and visited many vets during our variety of Defence postings within Australia.

Your dedication, professionalism and gentle, caring manner stand out way above anything we have previously experienced. We greatly appreciate the time you take to greet Leila and Ralph and make them feel comfortable before examining them and the informative feedback and advice you give us at each consultation.

Leila is now a fitter, healthier and happier dog having shed more than 6 kilos by changing to your recommended diet and Ralph is back to being his usual bundle of energy having recovered from his illness.

We have recommended you to all our pet owner friends and colleagues and will certainly be taking advantage of your excellent mobile service.

My family and I feel fortunate to have such a very special vet taking care of our four legged family members.
