I have owned pets for 30 years and have also lived in the area for the same amount of time. I have visited many vets for various reasons, from checkups to serious surgeries for my dogs, but have encountered at times in some clinics, surly receptionists, or vets I felt didn't care for my pets or didn't care to begin a professional and warm relationship with me, as if I were only there to line their pockets. With Patricia Carnovale at the Abbotsbury Clinic, I have been very happy with the warm and attentive service, the establishment of a true caring relationship from Dr Carnovale towards my pets and a real feeling of their 'going beyond the call of duty' when it came to my pets health and happiness. When the big things like surgery are handled professionally and safely, and the little things like a friendly manner are always present, who would want to go anywhere else? I am very very happy that Dr Carnovale is in the area and will continue to see to my pets throughout their lives. She's saved their lives numerous times and looks after them so so well.
