The vet is absolutely wonderful, compassionate and takes time to talk to you. He and his staff made me saying goodbye to my fur baby as loving and gentle as could be. With my new baby..... always happy to see us and get puppy kisses.

The only “complaint” I have is the wait. I understand every now and then it just takes longer because they’re busy but every time I’ve gone no matter for what reason, I at least just wait for 30-45 minutes

The entire staff went out of their way to help my Jr and myself. When I went I thought my only option was to put Jr to sleep. But they saved him and will find him a good home too. I don't know all their names but thank you so much for being so kind to us. Greg Huggins

I have to say that I am so happy I chose this place for many reasons. The Dr. is very helpful in information you may ask or getting you more information when needed. I truly love it the most because of the girls up front. I could be having a crummy day and going there makes me laugh and forget about things. The girls just love all of my animals and make them feel safe and I am really happy about that. I think that Olivia is just such an asset to this place. She is just always so happy and excited to see you. You can tell that she is meant to be working with animals! Presley and Taylor are amazing and willing to help you out. Thanks to all of you for dealing with me and my plethora of animals!!

10/10 Everybody was polite, helpful, and caring. The Dr. was caring and to the point! Very informative! The prices were AMAZING! He spared us the cost of x-rays bc the treatment would be the same w/o them. Which I felt was absolutely right. This was for an older dog that has lost use of her back legs. I thought it was something to do with her spine. And Spinal Stroke was literally the first thing he said!! They did not load you up with stuff and jack up the price!! They had a very gentle, informative pamphlet that I had never seen in any other office. About knowing when and how to say goodbye to your pet. There were options. Even urns on the shelf to choose from!!! What was really nice and heart warming... Was a candle. With a sign. It read: If this candle is burning, it is for someone saying goodbye to their pet. Please be respectful of their grieving at this time. 10 out of 10 ABSOLUTELY!
