Preventive care

The vets here are wonderful. They seem to listen to owner concerns and not push unnecessary treatments or tests. I trust they have my dogs' best interests in mind because they've show me that over the last 5 years we've used their services for our two dogs. The rooms could use updating and I would like to see them use thermometers with disposable covers... But the staff is great. One of our dogs has chronic issues with Cushing's and kidney disease, and I feel well supported and cared for by the team.

I have been going to Mill Pond for years. They have a great staff. My Ruger a German Short Hair Pointer has been there patients for 7 years. We took him in for his 7 year check up and summer worm and tick meds. A week later Ruger was very ill tried to get him in and they where to busy so advised us to take him to the EVH so we did they had Ruger for 3 days and told us he has Leukemia and his spleen was 3x it size. Dr. Diehr. Said he is 6 pound over weight. And he is good. Ruger passed 10 days after his 7 year check up. So my young son couldn't comprehend Ruger his best friend not coming home. So we got another puppy a Bordoodle and ended up getting her from a bad breeder that was in a reliable breeder program on the internet.. she was very sick. Took her to see dr. Diehr. And he was just not a great Dr. That day told us she wouldn't live another day..instead of helping her. And he calls himself a vet. Dr. We took her to the EVH and they kept her for 3 days gave her a blood transfusion and antibiotics for parasite. She had hookworm and coccidia she is doing great. I will never go back to Mill Pond

Love this office. Vet actually takes time to talk to you and answer all your questions. Prices aren't unreasonable, compared to many other places. They can always get my furkids in soon, too, and can quickly accommodate my unexpected rescues and foster animals. At my last vet, you'd have to schedule 4 months out at least. Thank you, Dr. Diehr & staff!!!

Picked up my mother in laws dog Josie from a grooming. What a nice place to go to the Vets as well. Great staff and extremely clean place. Next dog we get? I'm going here. Highly recommend!
