Very good with my dogs. The staff is really friendly and helpful and the vet is very patient and kind and caring. They really care about their clients and they go the extra mile as far as treating my dogs like they were their own. I recommend taking your furbabies here for veterinary care at an affordable cost ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was the saddest and most rewarding experience at a veterinarian's I have ever had.This vet came in helped us when it was so badly needed. He treated us and more importantly our dog of 15 yrs. with such respect. He was loving, kind and so gentle with Our Joe. Best vet Ever. And we have dealt with a few. 💜

Dr. Gary is caring yet this last visit for a simple nail trim (great Dane 111 lbs who is awful going to the vet) we medicate, muzzle everything requested and needed. Dr Gary's tech who was doing the nail trim feels the owner needs not be present. Trickery was used so he could be man handled held down and scared more. Our present during this nail trim could of offered a little security for him not saying he would of behaved any different . Yet when I got upset over this tech stated he was better with out us in the room (so this made the techs job easier) Is this why we were charged a added tech fee of 17 dollars to make the the job easier on top of the normal nail trim fee?

I am so incredibly thankful for PAWS! Our 6 month old kitten had something wrong with his eye and we called 10+ vet clinics and not one of them was able or willing to help us. Until PAWS answered the call. Everyone was so nice and willing to help and so professional. Dr. D was amazing and very knowledgeable! Not to mention they are affordable. We were pleasantly surprised and pleased with how affordable and caring they all were! THANK YOU AGAIN EVERYONE AT PAWS!!!!

The experience we had was amazing. We are very thankful for Dr. Gary for his compassion and professionalism. Our Collie who is almost 2 is finally is able to rest without stomach problems. We will definitely be back even though we have to travel 1 1/2 hour to be there.
