This was the best experience I’ve ever had with a vet. My dog was experiencing a serious emergency and they were able to get us in immediately. The staff was so compassionate and I felt so relieved and comfortable leaving my dog with them. I would highly recommend coming here and will definitely be bringing my pets back for regular veterinary check ups. Thank you everyone for helping Athena feel better and saving her life ♥️

We had such an amazing experience today at Summit Dog and Cat Hospital! They treated my Diesel like one of their own for his first visit. Their thorough attention and kindness was beyond compare. This is definitely our new home for our pets' care. Dr. Capone's dedication really shines. Thank you for a great experience! 😊

I want to thank the staff of Summit Dog and Cat Hospital. They went above and beyond for my Dino. He's a lovable pitty. From my first initial call for an appt. through the entire process of his surgery, these angels came through for us. The attention Dino received while at the hospital and then after we took him home was unbelievable. My family, Dino, and I, will be forever thankful. I 100000% recommend them for anything to do with your pet. They will be in excellent hands. A special thanks to Dr. Ben.

It’s more like a friend/family than a dr office. Tang-tang (our British Shorthair cat) first saw dr there after joining our family for 3 days. Great experience. Very friendly stuffs. We attended this year’s pawlloween party last weekend. Tang-tang had a great time at the party. We also saw many cute animals in the party. Tang-tang won the costume contest! We really enjoyed all the experiences we had with this hospital.

I consider my Princess as any other family and wouldn’t trust anyone else to care for her. I’ve even asked for advice and they were concerned and helpful. Compassion and Empathy are here and they bring the security of someone who cares as deeply as I do. Highly recommended!
