I had to come to terms that my 17 year old chihuahua Ernesto needed to cross over into his next life, due to the decline of his health and his age. As any pet owner knows, it's not an easy decision. I reached out to Parker vet to assist. From the very first phone call to inquire about the process, then calling to set the appointment and bringing him in on his final day, I was impressed by every staff member that I came in contact with. It is beyond words. Their kindness, compassion, patience and professionalism is beyond what I can express in my review. I can not thank each of them enough . I wish I took names down. They even personalized my Ernesto's paw, nose and ear print with such love. I never thought a TEAM of strangers would have the impact on such a difficult day the way they did.I will forever be grateful. May God continue to watch over this special team and bless them. Kind Regards, Melanie Kochanski

The staff have been beyond amazing with every visit that I have taken my two cats to. my oldest cat had to go in for a visit due to having odd behavior, the staff let me know that he had arthritis and provided multiple options to go with as well as let me know what each of the options meant. As soon as my older cat started receiving treatment/Medication, he's been a lot more open and active and rarely showed the pain behaviors that led me to make an appointment. The location was clean both outside and inside. The staff were friendly and helpful.

We are travelers and our 14 year old lady fell down 3 steps. We thought she broke her leg, she seemed in so much pain. Called so many vets, no one would see her; Dr out of town, no new patients, understaffed. Finally this vet had an opening. They were amazing!! Thankfully she didn't break it. We got an arthritis shot and some pain drops for later. Rest and she will be fine. Thank you so much for getting us in.

This vet has helped me numerous times on short notice and even without an appointment. They do their best to tend to your little fury friend. I had to put down a pet recently and they were compassionate, professional and helpful during that very difficult time.

So grateful to Parker Vet for getting us in quickly. We knew something was wrong with our dog and were suspicious of diabetes. Parker Vet took care of him and monitored his condition closely. It took a little while, and with the great care he was given, Diego is doing well. He's a diabetic but healthy and active. They truly saved his life and we love them for it. Thank you Parker Vets and the AWESOME staff!
