We’ve been taking our bunnies here since they were born. We couldn’t find a specialist anywhere around our area and so glad we found TAH. Dr. Bud have been amazing the entire time but last week we thought we were going to lose one of the bunnies and she saved her. After that visit, we have to give Olaf a liquid medicine twice a day for 5 days. This bunny has never been outside of our house except to go to the vet but she knows she’s prey so she’s the most paranoid bunny I’ve ever seen. We had to call the doctor for advise on how to trap her because we were causing so much stress to her and to us. Dr. Bud once again solved our issue with much compassion and clarified the importance of giving Olaf her medicine. At age 51, these are my first pets EVER so needless to say, I needed guidance and not just a vet which Dr. Bud provides every single time.

Excellent veterinary hospital that serves both furry AND exotic pets. We had a sick bearded dragon belonging to my child. They were able to get us in the same day when other clinics said their exotic vets were only in on occasion. One note is that they did insist on our paying the $80 office fee when the appointment was set. Since we intended to be there, this was not a concern for me. The wait was short and the vet and techs were very sensitive to my child's concerns. They were gentle with our pet; they also gently and kindly that most reptiles are VERY ill by the time they show symptoms as ours was. They were able to give IV hydration, take blood work (Friday), and provide ICU high calorie liquid food to provide at home; unfortunately our scaly sweetheart crossed the rainbow bridge within 3 days(Monday)...before the blood results came back. We lost our pet; however, it was no fault of the vet's or tech's. Everyone we had contact with was very nice. I definitely recommend this vet for all pets... furry, feathered, or scaly.

They did Not see an emergency in my dog- left me in the parking lot 2hrs. Didn’t even look at her for triage. Good thing I stuck with my gut and drove my to dog to the emergency vet one hour away. Where they diagnosed her with pancreatitis. They nearly killed her and feel zero responsibility for their actions .
