After hearing the word fatal a few times before coming to her I was emotionally having a very hard time, she was stern with me but so so very kind through the entire process, which was EXACTLY what I needed. I've had a hard time trusting veterinarians with my now 17yr old Chihuahua only because when we've taken her in the past they were not kind or gentle with her at all, and no I don't expect others to set her on a golden pillow and fan her with fancy leaves. I won't mention the horror stories and it's only happened with a handful of places we've been across the US but I could honestly just tell I could trust her and "The Family Pet Vet" crew with my life (aka my pixie). So grateful for this veterinarian Dr. Ashley, the staff, and the techs. Each day I get with her is a blessing, from 8 years old to 25, she's been my best friend and I know I don't get to have her forever but these guys are making sure she stays healthy and happy while I've got her. Thank you.

Great place to take your pet. They were very attentive to Casino's, my cat, needs. They were very kind and careful when checking him out for his yearly check up. The doctor he listened to everything I said and answered all my questions in regard to Casino's health. We didn't even have to wait; they were very prompt.

Dr. Rice & every single person at this clinic are so loving & compassionate. When we had one of the hardest days of our lives, they were so incredibly supportive. We crossed state lines to take our beloved Jake there to know we were confident there was nothing else we could do to help him.They gave that assurance to us along with the best closure we could possibly have. They had previously taken care of my babies with amazing gentleness, the same with my Mom's babies, & literally saved my bestie's baby on his death bed during the pandemic (Tuna Socks). I cannot recommend these loving people enough to take care of your babies.💗💗💗

We are in Eureka Springs on vacation when our tiny Yorkie (Chloe) developed severe GI symptoms. The Family Pet Vet was able to see her the same day I called, and the staff were all amazing!! From the first call, Tracy was so friendly and helpful, to the visit, Shelby and Dr Ashley were so kind and treated my little Chloe with so much loving care! Along with Chloe, we also have two Morkies. Jax, our little man morkie, had milder GI symptoms I mentioned to Dr Ashley. Without hesitation she asked me if I could bring him in to be seen also! Dr Ashley determined our furkids were experiencing some stress induced GI symptoms from our travels and I was assured they would be just fine. They are both doing fantastic, just a day after our visit to The Family Pet Vet, and I am so thankful for the staff who cared for us and treated my furbabies so well. I would definitely be seeking my veterinary care from this clinic all the time if we lived in the area! And just a side note, the cost wasn’t near what I expected either!! Thank you again!
