Preventive care

This is HANDS DOWN the BEST vet in town to have your furry friends fixed! I brought in my little man, Tuman, and he is doing great! It's a small business but there are signs so you shouldn't miss it. The best way to schedule an appointment is through their website, I was in the next week! The ladies inside are the salt of the earth! Smiling and professional, these are the people you want taking care of your pets!

Could not recommend Magnolia Spay Neuter enough. Dr. Carey spayed my 2 year old Australian Cattle Dog "Roux" on 1/18/24. The surgery went great! The communication pre-op was superb and every staff member I had contact with was kind and helpful. Day 3 post-op, Roux developed a golf ball sized seratoma. Other than the swelling, the incision was clean, no heat and Roux did not require pain meds. On day 7 the swelling seemed to subside and the incision seemed to be healing nicely. I removed the external stitches on day 10 (per Dr. Carey's instructions) and noticed right away the wound did not look healthy. I believe Roux had begun to lick the wound unbeknownst to me between days 7-10. I immediately reached out to Magnolia Spay Neuter and they requested photos. It was very simple to text the photos and explain the symptoms. They quickly agreed Roux needed to be seen that day and at the very least put on antibiotics. Dr. Carey examined her and advised me what she thought needed to be done. Later that afternoon Roux was back in surgery to thoroughly clean the wound and start her 7 day antibiotic regimen. This time I made sure she could not lick the incision sight. We are almost 3 passed her 2nd post-op date and Roux is PERFECT!!! I am so grateful to Dr. Carey & everyone at MSN.

They did wonderful with both of our standard poodles. Our dogs have very different personalities, and the staff excelled at making them both very comfortable. Communication, efficiency, and compassion demonstrated by the staff were superb. Would absolutely recommend to anyone needing services they offer.

So happy a friend told me about Magnolia. Great price and efficient service. The most important experience was that my cat was well taken care of. I wholeheartedly recommend Magnolia for all your spay and neuter needs.
