Karen Hobbs did an amazing job on my female Doberman’s ear cropping. I am so thankful that we found her and I definitely appreciate her work. It has been almost a year since we finished up Lady’s ear cropping. We had to do two surgeries which both gave us the best results. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking into getting this procedure done on their dog. We have another puppy who will be getting his ears done shortly and I can’t wait to share his results as well.

I have been taking my cane corsos here for about 3 years. Orginally just for a ear crop (which was perfect). However, i decided to make the trip from Granbury to Stephenville for minor and major reasons. It has been so worth it. Karen and her staff have been absolutely attentive, on point, and caring. Especially one staff member "erin" im not sure how she spells it. She called me even on days they were closed to keep my peace of mind and to calm my heart. I think of her often and always love seeing her when shes there. I def recommend this vet office. They truly (in my opinion) care and are honest. One very loyal and happy customer

Professional and friendly. Communication was excellent, and the care provided for my Corgi was perfect. A five star experience for sure. Thank you from me and my Corgi Sadie.

Dr. Karen is wonderful. I went in because it was time for my doggy to cross the rainbow bridge. Dr Karen was extremely compassionate and knowledgeable. Her kindness towards both humans and animals was recognizable from the first moment we spoke and she helped me along the road of saying goodbye. I highly, highly recommend her!
