I had made an appointment to get my Bernese mountain dogs blood work done for her teeth cleaning in a couple weeks. About a week before blood work, my girl started limping, I called animal care center in west bountiful and they said they could examine her when she comes in for blood work! I was super relieved they were able to look at her the same day and didn't have to schedule a whole new appointment. The day of the exam I was not able to answer my phone when they called. I was very impressed by Dr. Porters voicemail. He was thorough in his explanation on what to do next, it helped ease my mind and gain confidence in animal care center to take care of my fur baby. Thank you!

My dog had an emergency and was in some pain. I called numerous vets, and Animal Care Center was the only one to even consider helping me. They squeezed us in for a consultation the next day, getting my dog on meds, and surgery was the next week. They were so kind and reassuring. I will be taking my dog here from now on. They are amazing!

I took my sweet puppy here. It was his 1st time,as well as mine. I grew up with dogs, love dogs! I haven't been able to get a dog for 16 years due to marrying an asthmatic with allergies to all animals. So I am BLESSED we found this particular breed!! #answeredprayers Anyway, the team here made everything easy and comfortable for me and my pup! Apparently, staff was having "a rough day," and they don't get many new puppies. So our visit made their day! Win win! They also take a cute little personal picture with his name and fun facts to post on their social media. Thank you, A.C.C. crew! On a personal note, it's amazing how things work out in life sometimes... In remembrance of my cousin Garrett, his fiance Kel, Sage, and dogs!

We have taken both of our dogs here since 2014 when we moved to the area. The staff is great and the vets are super friendly and knowledgeable. Unfortunately both of our dogs passed away due to old age in the last 5 months, and the end of life care shown to our pets and to us was outstanding. I cannot recommend Animal Care Center enough!
