Preventive care

I cannot recommend a better vet clinic than Best Care! Our sweet kitty was diagnosed with kidney failure. I reached out to this clinic and they hospitalized my cat immediately. She was on the brink of death and they saved her. Dr. Cozzolino and the staff at Best Care truly went above and beyond what any other clinic would have done.They kept me updated while she was hospitalized and happily answered all my questions while she recovered. They truly care about your animals. Having my cat healthy is priceless. I am forever grateful to this clinic and it's awesome staff :)

Our boy, Boo had a tough life before we adopted him so we're always a little weary when leaving him with new vets or new people. They must've treated him like a king because he came out bouncing off the walls and wearing a cute bandana! He has a heart condition so we'll be there regularly from now on and I'm so glad this is the place he gets to go! Thank you for taking such good care of our baby boy!

Our last experience with Best Care Pet Hospital was not a good one, but only because we had to say goodbye to our dear sweet Maggie. She had started breathing quite heavily and we brought her in to Best Care to see what was wrong and what we could do about it. She was diagnosed with pneumonia and had to stay a few days in the "doggie hospital". When we went to pick her up, I was there with my husband and Dr. Leaf thoroughly explained her diagnosis, what we should be looking out for, explained the meds, how to give them and what the potential side effects could be. He patiently indulged all of our questions and I left feeling hopeful that she would make a full recovery. We followed the instructions to the letter but at her follow up appointment, she had not made as much progress as we had hoped. The next step was to try steroids. That helped her for a short time but after about a week, her breathing became more and more labored. She had almost no energy. The last straw was when I came home from work and she couldn't get up out of bed to greet me. My husband rushed her back in to Best Care and it was determined that she would likely never recover. My husband made the difficult decision to let her go. Despite the fact that the end result was not what we wanted at all, I am grateful for the care she received. The entire staff, from the techs to all the vets, were wonderful. They checked in on her regularly and were genuinely concerned wtih how she was doing. Once the decision was made to let her go, the process was handled humanely and compassionately and she crossed over in a peaceful environment, knowing she was well loved. After she passed, we received a sympathy card, personally signed by the staff members. I appreciate the sentiment, even though neither my husband or I have been able to actually read all of it because it makes us cry. Thank you, Best Care, for caring for our girl. She was truly the "best dog ever" and was certainly treated as such while in your care. I would recommend them to anyone that's looking for quality and compassionate care for their fur babies. RIP Magdalene a/k/a "Maggie" "Maggie Moo" "Moo". We'll see you on the other side someday.

Our pup Floyd has received the best care here! He loves all the friendly vet techs and his vet! I am able to call with a concern and get immediate help. A perfect place for my Bernedoodle pup!

3 dogs + 1 Cat. DR. Lamp and his wife are the best in town in my opinion. Staff is great. The location can be deceiving but it's the only place in Sioux Falls to go through the Extra Steps to become AAHA CERTIFIED. Literally the only downside is that they aren't open 24/7. Thanks you Best Pet Staff for always taking such good care of my pets.
