I had to switch vets recently. I liked the one I had but the hours and payment method were both becoming inconvenient. So I was recommended to try Dr. Hover. I was not disappointed. My former vets receptionist smiled when I mentioned where he was going as if to say, "you might be leaving us but you're still in good hands there." They weren't wrong... Twice Dr. Hover has taken care of my 10 year old beagle Buddy Bear who left the office healthier and more puppy like, this is a great vet and he catches things quickly before they turn into problems! Very happy! ❤️ They also have late hours, Saturday hours and take debit cards (all things I was looking for besides good care for my dog)

Almond vet and Dr Hoover were our vet for 15 years. At the end of July our lab had a tooth extracted. They called to say things went fine. I called back in.the afternoon to check on him. There was no answer, so I left a message requesting a call back. Which did not happen. A week later there was something seriously wrong with my dog. We called every day for 3 days. Amber was so rude to.us and basically pushed us off. 3 days later his state was so poor that I thought he had to be put down. I called at 8 am on Saturday when they opened. Amber again pushed us off and told us we now had to seek an emergency service. 2 days later our dog passed away. Our vet of 15 years would not help us when we needed them most. It's been so devastating to us to go through this when all we were doing was taking our sweet baby in for a tooth removal.. so rude, uncaring and dismissive.

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT bring your pets here. Carol is dishonest, rude, and presumptuous. Sandy & Jim arent around as much, if at all. There are younger folk doing the work, and Carol runs the office. 3 nights ago, my cat suffered a severe accident and had extreme trauma to her back side and abdomen. The following morning at 9:30 am I brought her in, and I was promised that the dr. wouls see her immediately and I would be notified that day. They did not notify me, and the following day I called at 10:40 am to check up, and they had JUST THEN got started in examining her. An hr later, they called to say she 'has urinary tract infection' and stated that as cause of her bleeding from her urethra. Carol ignired my explanation of the accident and continued to demand it was a urinary infection. Needless to say, I took my cat immediately to another vet, and within 3 hrs that dr. did XRays, bloodwork, and other examinations. He discovered damage to her liver, kidneys, lungs, and trachea. He perscribed treatment, and bec the damage is minimal, sent her home. No urinary infection, there was partial blood infection from slight sepsis as result of kidney damage. Almond Vet used to be kind and reliable. As you can see, they ARE NOT ANYMORE. They literally endangered the life of my cat by ignoring her for 25 hrs and then misdiagnosing her. If she had fullblown sepsis, she would have died today as a result of this office's negligence. DO NOT BRING YOUR PETS HERE
