Calcaria Vet

Calcaria Vet is described by clients as an independent veterinary practice (explicitly contrasted with “large groups” in reviews). It appears set up for ongoing, relationship-based care, with multiple owners mentioning they’ve stayed with the same vet and team for 13–18+ years, including support “from beginning to the end of your pet’s life.” Reviews repeatedly single out Neil by name, and several note pets leaving “happy and healthy” and being comfortable enough to go in for “lots of strokes.” One reviewer also says the practice does not overcharge compared with some larger groups (no specific fees given).
