The vets and techs at Village Vet are always so kind. They treat all our animals like one of their own. We had to let go of one of our babies who was suffering with pancreatic cancer this week. They offered such kindness and dignity for us and our sweet fur baby. So grateful. We'll miss our sweet girl. So thankful she was surrounded by not only the people who love her the most but by caring and compassionate people who were so sweet to her all the way up to the end.

I have been receiving care for my dog from Village Vet for several years and I have been completely satisfied. The village vet team is exemplary, friendly, and caring. They have the expertise on staff to handle any situation. I trust the support I receive for my dog, moreover they do care!

We've been using Village Vet for several years now. First for our sweet guinea pig and now for our cat. They have been so wonderful from the start. Helping us through our guinea pig going over the rainbow bridge to getting our rescued kitten healthy and strong. We have also boarded our cat with them twice now. That process is always smooth and easy. I have peace of mind knowing she's well cared for while we're out of town. Update: still LOVE this place. My kitty had her first yearly checkup (she's just over a year old) and they were so great with her, still. They are nice and gentle, but obviously get her checked out. Answered all my questions. I'm so glad I found this vet. First for my guinea pig and then for my cat when we adopted her. Update: June 2024: I can't say enough about this place! It speaks volumes when my cat is adventurous and curious when she's here for her check-up. She was rolling around on the floor, letting everyone pick her up and hold her. At just over 2 years old, I love this place for her. From regular check-ups to boarding. Another update: March 2025: still going strong! There are always many new faces when we board her here but they are still always great with her and end up loving Kawi! They are by no means the closest option for our family but with the care they provide I will continue to drive the extra distance for peace of mind.

Just took my recently adopted (and often skittish) cat and everyone here was sooo friendly and kind with him. They were great at easing both his nerves (and mine.) His exam was very thorough and the doctor (I'm so sorry, I forgot her name but she was very nice!) was great about explaining any diagnoses and care instructions with me. They were also very transparent about pricing for all of their services, which I appreciated! Great experience & friendly staff. Thank you!

I visited the Clinic in December of last year to utilize their Canine reproductive services. I had traveled from Wisconsin a 12 hour trip one way The veterinarian was kind, Informative and gave me a lot of information. I got to watch the procedure and in February had a litter of 7 Gordon Setter puppies. At 5yo and I had tried with her for two years for puppies so this was my last chance. I thank them for my Seven bundles of joy!
