!*graphic picture attached *! My 6 month old puppy got attacked by another dog, and his ear was awfully torn up. they told me to wait over night and put a wrap on his head. the wrap slid down within an hour, and the next day he went in for stitches, and they wrapped his head again with ductape overtop of the gauze to keep the wrap from falling off. the day after his surgery his ear smelled absolutely rancid and we decided to make an emergency visit at Appleseed instead (our usual veterinary clinic). they unwrapped his head and it was entirely infected and they said it was due to the wrap. i recommend AppleSeed over this place any time. these people at Akers are completely unprofessional, and they claimed the smell was "normal". not to mention, the rude attitude on some of these people is very off putting. the only reason i came here is because it was an emergency and they were closest nearby. do not come here if you value your fur babies. (picture attached is his infected ear after stitching.)

Edit* My Jasper is the pet who started it all for me and has been with me for over 10 years. 3 times now at various periods in 4 years I had thought his time was getting nearer and thanks to treatment from Dr Aker, i have more time and better quality time with my furry family. Thank you!🥰 DR. Akers has done everything for the fur babies of my household for the last five years. She has done everything from routine care to life saving emergency surgery. She is both fair in price and always giving of high quality care. Her and her team are patient and deserve the highest praise! They are assets to our community and to families of fur babies under their care. Thank you!

I've been taking my dogs here since I moved to the area. It was very fairly priced. Extremely knowledgeable. The open walk-in appointments are a blessing with my crazy work schedule. I always will recommend them. Mrs. Akers and her staff are always very professional

Loved the Doctor and her assistant. I could tell that they actually cared about my pet. However, the front desk lady was passive aggressive and rude. She had an attitude with pretty much everyone that came up to her. She didn’t seem to enjoy her job at all. If this establishment loses business it will be because of that lady.
