I love this vet. We've been to 2 other well known vets and just had not a good experience. We came here to Dr. Howe because they allowed us to be able to come into the exam room with our sick cat, Sweet Pea. Everyone working here is friendly and empathetic. They were so gentle and caring. We love Dr. Howe, she got to the root of the issue, gave good advice and provided the correct medications Sweet Pea needed to make her healthy. We now bring all our furbabies here.

We recently adopted a new puppy, Josh, after 7/5 years since the passing of our last two beloved pets. Dr. Howe from Hawkins AH was our Vet then (since 2014) and we wanted her again to care for our new puppy. She truly loves all the animals she cares for, as if they were her own. We know that Josh will be in her Good, gentle hands for many years!!

Dr Howe & her staff are amazing! Affordable pricing with high quality care and they offer a holistic approach as well.

Transferred from our vet that we did not like and fell in love. They were great with our dog and very professional. Glad we found you guys. Update, got a second pup to add to the hawkins family. They really have been absolutely perfect with her. Even received a thank you card after her first visit which no other vet ever did. They gave her her first two rounds of shots, told me about others that she could have but told me to research the shots before hand to make an informed decision all while keeping costs at a more than fair rate. I sleep better knowing Dr. Howe and her staff are taking care of my family.

Dr. Howe is great. Very holistic (which I love) and doesn't do unnecessary things in my dog's visit which makes it affordable for me. My Yogi always has a great experience there.
