Preventive care

The customer service is really bad lately. I'll not complain about the veterinarian's attention, which is good. But it is a nightmare to get an appointment, I booked 1 month in advance, and they didn't book it. They had my dog under 2 different families, then the next time they had my small dog as a big breed dog wrongly. At least the vaccination went alright besides several attempts to convince me to fet pet insurance with the "must convenient option". When I booked a surgery for my pup, the young gal at front desk had several issues and everytime we agreed a date she came back to say no we can't do it, until we finally got one but.... just to find out they didn't schedule it properly or at all. The drive for nothing, and now I'm rushing to get an appointment. The Dr. is good, but they should take better care o the front desk

Dr.Foulston and Vet tech Ian were amazing with our cat son charlie yesterday. Charlie remained very calm even during the check up and ear cleaning. Thank you for helping our kitty feel better and for helping us feel confident in continuing his ear care at home ♡

Great staff. Clean facility. Take my dog once a month for librella shots. Can be a bit pricey as any other vet clinic. If your on a budget be sure to get a quote. My only complaint is that they prefer to do the work quoting "Liability" reasons. They won't give you a prescription for a shot that can easily be done by those who have farm experience. Most vets are moving this way. More money

This place is my go to although it is a drive they are the best for both my dogs. They have helped my big guy with his arthritis and helped my little one cross the rainbow bridge. They show compassion for pets and owners alike.

Would not recommend unless you can see Dr Eliason! Had 2 separate pets that had been seen there for years and both were said to be fine short of issues we were dealing with via meds. We always asked if tests were needed and told no, asked if they were in pain, told no they are fine, just try this and come back if it doesn’t work…..well in both cases, 6 months apart, both pets were seen by a new vet clinic and found to be in bad shape, all tests we had asked for at this vet but told weren’t needed were done at our new vet and found serious issues that could have been treated sooner. Our one pet lasted 4 months before being put down and the other had to be put down less than a week after being seen here by Dr Foulston and told was ok and just try this OTC type med and see if it helps. Was told there was no pain and no issues with any of the areas we thought were a concern….. One trip to our other vet to find out her legs were so atrophy and could barely move back toes, stomach was so tender and sore, ear issues etc and had to be put down….wasn't even 9 and it’s so devastating ! Dr Aliason was great but Dr Foulston spends the whole time telling stories and not actually checking your Pet….. he’s nice but maybe should be just checking the animals in and not actually diagnosing anything!
