## Summary Millview Veterinary Clinic appears to be a small practice centred on vet Dave Carey (named repeatedly in reviews). Owners describe help with both routine care and specific problems across a mix of animals—examples include treating a puppy’s ear issue, handling a “tricky” brachycephalic breed with appropriate precautions, and even doing a house call for a sick horse after a long day.
