Although it was my son's dog I brought to you, I was still very scared and worried, especially after we went to two other places! You were not just immediately responding to our babies needs, you kept me informed, you were carrying, understanding, and even kept her overnight just to be sure! You are greatly appreciated! Truly the best people for our babies needs!! Thank you so much! We will not go anywhere else! Aria my sons dog is doing very well, thanks to your whole staff!!

My usual vet was unavailable and referred me here. Twice they got us in quickly, provided up front pricing, and we're very reasonable. Unfortunately I had to let my cat go but I would certainly use them again for another pet. If you do need euthanasia they were very accommodating to whatever is needed and working on your timeline as far as needing more time either before or after. I didn't feel rushed and I appreciated that I had been asked to pay in advance so I didn't have to deal with that after, as I was of course emotional.

I’ve had a lot of pets and seen many vets in my day but this veteran was the worse one I ever had . I’m doing a review because it involves furry babies. First of all I never saw her examine him. . They took him and said they were weighing him. That took a few minutes.That must be when she quickly checked him. Then there was these two girls who start cutting his nails using a muzzle. They said he growled. I didn’t hear a growl. I heard a yelp. They must have hurt him. They staff never made my dog feel safe or welcome and this is how they treated him. There was no word to me or to the dog before they started this . . I thought that strange. They couldn’t have made him feel safe.He is so gentle I check his teeth before adopting him at the animal shelter and he didn’t even flutter. The stall also cut his nails with no problem. Right there at the shelter which is stressful. She never checked his teeth which I believe is part of checking a senior dog. He is 10. She said she didn’t because wouldn’t put her staff in danger. IN Danger?? I couldn’t believe it. She and staff must either are afraid of big dogs or because he’s a pit Bull mix? I believe they discriminate. This is the only rational I could come up with. But I do know there is something not right with this place I felt they were aggressive and neglectful. There is something not right here. I wish everyone did reviews even though it’s negative . I fell sad my dog was treated like that where it should feel safe I just moved to Florida . That was a bad start.
