Voy Vet Clinic is described in recent reviews as a first-come, first-seen “open surgery” practice where owners often wait in their cars until called. People use it for both routine problems (for example, a dog’s ear infection treated the same day) and more involved care (one owner mentions their dog being supported through two operations over the years). Reviews repeatedly mention low or “reasonable” pricing for standard visits, alongside frustrations about long waits/queuing and limited phone availability. One reviewer also reports that the emergency number now redirects to a different company they found “extremely expensive,” leading them to wait until Voy reopened instead.
