Preventive care

Our cat, Shoog, was not a patient of theirs, but when we called at 10am for an emergency visit, they got us an appt for 11 and had the records from her old vet by the time we got there. They were very transparent about how much the care would be and treated our Shoog like she was their own. I have brought Shoog for this issue she has before to her old vet, but was just brushed off really and not educated at all. They must have spent a total of 30 minutes overall just talking to us and educating us. She took time explaining the X-ray - the Vet tech was the absolute sweetest too!! The price was very fair for all of the care that our cat received. Now, our Shoog is on the mend and feeling so much better!! No doubt this is the place we will be taking her and any future animals. We live about 30 minutes away but it is worth the commute! Thanks again, Team!!

I was very anxious to bring my 6 week old kitten to the vet due to having terrible experiences with my other cats at Brunswick Veterinary Clinic. We reached out later in the afternoon to see when they could get our kitten in…they were able to get us in the next morning!! Unlike my previous vet which would have taken 2 weeks. After walking into AAH I felt so welcomed and knew my kitten would be in great hands. The compassion & care they had for our small kitten made all my worries melt away! I would not bring my animals anywhere else after our first visit. They treated my kitty like their own and were very informative. We look forward to taking our kitten back in two weeks 😊

Had a minor vet emergency while on vacation that needed to get checked out. They were able to see my dog the same day. Appointment was on time and quick! All the staff was very nice. Also appreciate the electric car charger!

Both the Vet and the Vet Tech were extremely friendly, and extremely dog friendly. The both got right down on the floor with out dog to make it easier on him. They were very thorough and discussed our options. A very positive experience.

I have been bringing my cats her for 30 years. The staff may have changed over the years, but their commitment to the animals and their owner's has remained the same.
