They were wonderful. Reasonable priced. Compassionate towards my dog. The only thing is they try to prescribe extra vitamins and call it a prescription. So you need to take the initiative as a consumer and ask questions and make a choice that best suits you and your needs and your dog's needs. Like anything else if you don't take an initiative and do your own homework you will probably end up getting things that you don't need or being charged extra for services you may not need and that's not with just them it is anywhere you go if you're in business you're in business to make money if you're not making money you're going out of business so as a consumer you need to be wise and make good choices and ask questions I do think they need to State what is an actual perscription like medication antibiotics and offer as a nutritional value for your animal. That is the only thing I would say we're not pushy or rude you just have to be a wise consumer. As far as the treatment and care for my service dog I am very pleased with them and I would go back

4 Paws Pet Hospital has taken such great care of my puppy! The vet and staff have been so caring and compassionate. They babied my puppy like he was their own! They were diligent in diagnosing and treating my fur baby and he's doing well and so much happier! I'm so grateful for 4 Paws Pet Hospital! While treatment has been expensive, I don't think they have charged more than any other vet would charge. I will absolutely continue to take my pets there for any veterinary services!

It was a weird experience, and I understand why people may say that at times, they're trying to charge us for certain procedures that may be unnecessary at the time. I had a great experience with the doctor, he was nice, friendly, and explained different scenarios for my dog. I was being offered a service for my dog that I felt it was unnecessary at the time, therefore; I declined. That's why I think some people may feel that they want to add services that aren't needed. I think they should say, "we don't think it's necessary for the time being, but we can do it today, or next time if necessary". It will just make people feel more comfortable. Moreover, my experience with the staff was odd, to the point that I felt a bit uncomfortable. Their customer service was not good, but it wasn't horrible, it seemed as if they didn't want to deal with me, therefore; I felt as if they were trying to avoid me, and get me out of there as soon a possible.

The prices were decent. The vet tech was very compassionate and was explaining to us as he was examining our cat Elsie. I recommend this vet. 🙂

Great customer service! Staff took their time explaining the treatment for my pup. I felt at ease knowing he was going to be well taken care of. They open weekends so that is a plus! I would recommend to anyone! Overall I was very satisfied with the service.
