Unsurpassed service, expertise, and passion on every level of this amazing business. You will not find a better group of professionals to care for your pet. They are a true hidden gem and I cannot recommend the practice enough. Time and time again they outdo themselves with the incredible care and support they have given to each of my pets. Will not ever go anywhere else.

We have never had finer veterinary care. They are great. Sadly we had to leave today because they were so far behind. My animals are not happy in their carriers and it seemed inhumane to make them wait an hour after the appointment time with no info on when they were going in. They are usually behind but this was worse. Perhaps it was the “sales-type” guy that dropped in. Shouldn’t that guy make an appointment?

Sparky, my best bud, has recently crossed over the rainbow bridge. But without Dr. G, Traci, Sam, and everyone at Integrative Vet, we would have lost him years ago. When I tell you that they worked wonders, that’s an understatement. Acupuncture, herbs, western medicine, laser therapy, and more all helped to give Sparky an amazing few years added onto his life. And they did all of this with love and compassion. Sparky used to have to be dragged out of this vet because he loved it some much, and he’d literally run in. We were there all of the time, and they were there for us all of the time. Simply put, they are a wonderful veterinary office who go above and beyond to help our furry loved ones.w

I will never bring my pets anywhere else! I love that IVT has homeopathic options available for pets and the staff is unbelievably loving and Dr. G is the BEST! Their costs are very very fair and reasonable! I’ve been seeing them with my pets (Cats and Dogs) through the years and when we had to put down our sweet Daisy Girl in August at the age of 16, before then IVT helped to ease her arthritis pain to give her some extra time with us, we were able to have an extra year with Daisy and I’m so thankful for that extra time. Even though I opted for in home euthanasia for Daisy by Laps of Love (also highly recommended) when it was time, We still received a card from IVT with their condolences on Daisy's passing. ♥️ Thank You to Everyone there for all you do!♥️

Dr. Gucchiardo is the best!! He is compassionate with animals and doesn’t push any unnecessary testing or services. I have more than a handful of cats which he sees regularly. Highly recommend.
