Preventive care

If you wanna spend a lot of money and NOT be informed about it, this is the vet for you. I've been to a great vet and this isn't one. My dog had an appt to get current shots. The bill was over $300 because they didn't disclose how much ANYTHING THAT THEY WERE DOING would cost. At previous vets I was told "We can do so and so, but it'll be $xxx amount of money." This place did NOT disclose how much anything would be. My elderly grandma took my dog while I was at work and maybe she shouldv'e asked - but they shouldv'e INFORMED. There was no one in there at the time of the appt and after weigh-in, it took 10 min or more to be seen again. I'm never making appt here again. On top of that, someones dog was dying and they basically said they didn't have time for that. Terrible vet that doesn't care about animals - only money.

everyone was so nice and patient with my dog and answered all my questions and concerns. They gave me prices upfront and explained what each charge was for. Definitely recommend.

Our pets have been patients here for almost 4 years after our last vet. They've been our veterinarian through palliative care for our older cat with cancer, new kittens, and now a puppy. Both the vets are good at breaking down information into an understandable format, even when the information they have to give you is stressful or upsetting. They're very patient and gentle with our cats, who frequently need to be coaxed out of the carrier with treats, and our cat Bastion will sometimes go up to the techs to be picked up.

They have been so wonderful. We have been there a handful of times since my Dexter has been sick and they have been nothing but sweet, accomdating and personal. So many vets try to make you feel bad or spend unessescary money but these vets and vet techs really care. They teach and talk to you about how to take care of your sick pet. They have fit me in when my schedule hast allowed me to be there on time and have treated my animals with the most respect. Best vet in the area and I would highly recommend them. 😁

I would highly recommend Republic Animal Hospital. After almost 19 years of joy we were faced with putting our cat, Tiger, to rest. When our vet was unable to help us, we turned to Republic Animal Hospital upon a recommendation from our grand daughter. So thankful we were led to Dr. Maggie. She a d all of the office staff treated us and our Tiger like they had been our Vet for the 19 years. So loving and caring and helped us feel at peace. Thanks again and may God bless each of you.
