This is an amazing collection of caring people. Amazing place, they treated my situation with dignity and respect. I just moved here, I do travel nursing. My dog Nala fell ill and had to be put down, she was 17. I'm going back next week to take my 24 year old cat.

They are flexible, kind and accommodating. They have taken care of my dogs for nearly a decade. They treat my dogs with love and compassion, even though when my dogs are at the vet they act like wretched creatures from the upside down

I have nothing to say because they would not see my pet because my pet hasn’t been seen there before, they wanted to give me # for a vet over 150 mi. Front desk staff just care about how soon there getting off work.. she could have at least asked the doctor..

WoW, I am just amazed at the lack of ethics. I called today 3/18/23 knowing it's Saturday and figured I would get after hrs emergency number but someone answered and they were opened until noon. My old dog is dieing and suffering so I was wanting help to help her pass more comfortably and they said if I could get there in the next 10 mins or call back Monday. 10 mins would be impossible as she is big and can no longer stand or walk so would take longer to load her. So I said ok and we hung up, totally forgetting about after hrs I call back and ask about the after hrs. They said it's an extra $175 which I said was fine but then told me that I have not had any pets there in 3 yrs so they could not help me. I was confused and said but you were just going to help me and just had one of my cats there 3 months ago. They said new management and things changed. What??? New management within the last 5mins???? Or you just didn't want to take time to come back for an ER call because you were only going to help as long as you were already there. WoW... If you don't want to do after hrs DON'T offer them. It's that simple. And make sure you do get a receipt for payments because they sent my son bills for every time he paid in full at the time of service. They try to change him again every time. Good luck. If you take your pets here "may the odds be ever in your favor"
