Onca Vets Ltd

Onca Vets Ltd is an independent small-animal practice that also offers veterinary physiotherapy and has an in-house laboratory (per the clinic website summary). Reviews consistently describe a more “personal” style than some larger chains, with owners mentioning honest, straightforward explanations and a sense that treatment decisions aren’t driven by upselling. Concrete examples from reviews include dental work and extractions, two operations for an older dog, and investigation of a cat’s cough with blood tests and discussion of likely allergies. One review also notes both a vet and a nurse being visibly empathetic during an end-of-life appointment for an elderly cat.
