“Bangalow Vets are the best vets and vet nurses you could ever hope for. They go way beyond the call the duty and I couldn’t recommend them more. I wouldn’t take my 3 dogs anywhere else. A week ago today I thought I was losing my old dog Nelson to crippling arthritis but after just one session of acupuncture with Dr Georgia he has made an amazing recovery. Today he had his second session and the difference is amazing. Thank you Bangalow Vets we love you.”
