I honestly can't recommend VSS highly enough. We were referred to Dr Bowles after our beautiful border collie was having breathing difficulties. When we first arrived our girl was offered oxygen while we were waiting for our appointment so she wouldn't be in distress. Dr Bowles was very upfront about our options and the cost for each. She didn't sugar coat things and I really appreciated her honesty.
Having previously been to another Veterinary Specialist with a different pet, I found VSS so much more honest and caring.
Reading the comments below, the receptionist when we originally rang to confirm our appointment was a bit rude but the receptionist that were on when we got there couldn't have been nicer or more caring. They called our pets by name and asked after them when we came back in.
Yes the costs are expensive but I actually found it a bit cheaper than the other specialty vet. There is no medicare for animals and it can be a bit of a shock if it's the first time dealing with a specialty vet, but I didn't think they were overcharging.
We were given all the options upfront and they didn't push us into putting her through tests or treatments that would stress her further, unlike the other vet.
Unfortunately we had to say goodbye to our beautiful girl, but Dr Bowles and the staff made the experience as respectful and dignified as possible. The thing that I appreciated most was that they gave us as much time as we needed with her beforehand, and Dr Bowles talked to our dog instead of to us as she passed away.
Also, when they gave us our girl to take home, she was treated with so much dignity and respect. Having previously recieved our pets back tied in a plastic bag inside the calico back, I was very touched that our girl's head was left out.
Even though we didn't get the outcome we obviously wanted, I couldn't have asked for better treatment or a better vet.

Fiona was very professional and friendly. She removed my corns and callouses quickly and without any pain. She gave me lots of information to look after my feet in between visits as well. I can't recommend her highly enough!

I can't recommend Kirsty highly enough!! Very friendly and great results, always happy to fit me in. Also fantastic prices compared to other operators in the area. Great value, very professional, wonderful results - highly recommended!!!

A great range of feed in stock, and if they don't stock something you're after they're happy to order it in. Very friendly and helpful and great prices.

We use Brendale Produce for feed and accessories for our horses, cattle, poultry, dogs and cats. They have a wide range of brands and their prices are usually very good compared to other produce stores.

Mark was a wonderful tour guide, full of information about the local area. Our tour included a trip to the rainforest, the beach and the savannah, so we got to see a lot of different environments in one day. My husband and I were lucky enough to be the only ones on the tour on the day we went, as the other couple who had booked cancelled (definitely their loss!) so Mark customised the tour to what we were most interested in. We even got picked up and dropped off at our hotel! It was wonderful to be away from the crowds and tour buses and we truly felt like we were the only people there at most of the places we went to. I can't recommend this tour highly enough for anyone visiting Port Douglas.

I was very impressed with Peter and Amanda from Accurate Instrument Servicing. My camera hadn't been serviced since I bought it, and when I took it in Peter showed me exactly what needed to be done and gave me a quote. My poor old camera now works like new! It was fantastic to receive such personalised service and the price was incredibly reasonable. I can't recommend them highly enough for anyone who needs a camera repaired or serviced.

Very helpful and friendly staff. There's a huge choice of options and they even added a hanger after we'd already paid at no charge. Nothing was too much trouble.

Highly recommended in all ways - the staff are very friendly and caring and our pets always receive the best possible care. Nothing is too much trouble.

I was nervous about joining a gym but Fernwood is fantastic! The trainers are so friendly and helpful and you can work at your own pace in the classes. The cost is incredibly reasonable, especially after comparing other gyms. I can't recommend them highly enough!
