Preventive care

This is a great vets office, staff are always welcoming and answer ALLLL my millions of questions. I have a dog that has seizures and they always double check any meds he goes on or even tick treatment. He has to have a special, more safer tick treatment due to his seizures. I truly appreciate this as he is my baby. He has had a very rough life being physically abused before I rescued him. They take care of him by allowing me to sedate him to calm his nerves. I also have a female dog who is a diva and they care for her so well! I miss Dr. Kinney however still the best place. Only downfall is trying to get in when there is an issue that comes up. They are months booked out and short staffed. When I called to get my girl in for an abscess tooth they had no openings and told me to go elsewhere. Only reason four stars.

They are super friendly and very understanding especially when I called them a bunch because my cat was being a pain when trying to give her meds. They were super nice every time and helped me a lot. I just feel bad my cat Punchy is such a grump when she has to go and stole a bunch of tongue depressors last visit.

Absolutely worse vet I have ever been too. They didn't give my dog the right dosage for her ear infection, they fought us on the medicine she had a REACTION to, and instead of telling us my dog had a double ear infection, they said it was "a blade of grass in her ear" that they didn't remove. Not very impressed.

She was very attentive and caring the girls at the front desk were polite I'm very helpful as well overall we gave it a five-star and would recommend this veterinarian place as well to other for a babies.

We have two fur babies that are our world and we have recieved the best care from all of the staff and doctors. Our boy was still in pain and was misdiagnosed from the previous vet and the dr at Auburn Animal Center went over him thoroughly and pin pointed his issues and he was in pain and could barely walk before that and now he runs and moves around with no issues.He doesnt need to be muzzled here as well because he feels safe.Our girl has been going through a rough time and the staff as well as the dr have gone above and beyond to help us through this. They have put up with me calling a lot due to my girl being in pain and told me to now worry and they want me to call with any issues.They treat my babies like their own and that makes the difference in their care and my respect for all of the wonderful staff and Dr's I am so glad we found them and wont take my babies anywhere else.I am grateful
