I recently moved to the area and needed a vet. This place is awesome. They really care about animals. No matter how many times you call, you never feel like you are bothering them. They dealt with the pharmacy and did everything they could to help me be able to keep my dog who has horrible seperation anxiety. I work quite a bit and the recent move affected him a lot. And what everyone says about reasonable prices, that is very true! Much cheaper than any other place I have ever taken my dogs. Thank you so much. From Trish and Gabar.🤗

I took my dog to Bellemore for years, till I had to have him put to sleep. Doc is the one that caught the issue. I went for a second opinion and well unfortunately, she was correct. Since then, I’ve taken in 2 cats, both are patients of Bellemore. And now I’ve saved a cat from dying and Monday will be his first visit with Doc and her crew and I’m pretty excited for him to meet them! They are great with the animals! And nice with the humans! If they haven’t been nice to you, you might want to look in the mirror. I Love Bellemore Animal Hospital!! They’ve been nothing but great to and for us!!! ❤️❤️❤️ As for pricing, well, I’ve been to 4 other vets and I feel you cannot beat the pricing. Everything that I’ve ever had to purchase or have serviced on my animals has been so much more reasonably priced than the other places. The pricing and the ultimate care is the reason I stay with Bellemore. Thanks Doc and Crew!!! Sheryl with an S
