Paw Paws Vet Clinic is an independent practice (reviews refer to “Ron, the owner”) that’s been operating for over 10 years, and it treats a wide mix of pets including cats, dogs, rabbits, ferrets, hamsters and guinea pigs. The clinic appears set up for routine preventative care (vaccines, deworming, parasite prevention, microchipping) as well as ongoing medical problems and sensitive end‑of‑life support. Concrete examples owners mention include: a long, unhurried euthanasia appointment for a dog with heart failure (the family stayed over an hour); support during emergencies for an active dog with injuries; and a structured “process of elimination” approach discussed for chronic skin/allergy issues (including a biopsy in one case). Reviews also show mixed experiences with front‑desk interactions (one reviewer singled out a receptionist as rude).

Sunbeam Vets is part of a wider setup described on its website as a group of three veterinary clinics plus a veterinary hospital, with 20+ years’ experience treating family pets.
