Saturday afternoon….a true emergency for my 5 year old Cavalier King Charles. 🐶 No waiting. He received excellent care. Within hours after receiving the medication his symptoms improved greatly. Our primary care vet then received an email with the full description of the emergency. Everyone was so kind. We are so thankful that such wonderful care was available to us.

Everybody here was super friendly, the wait was not bad at all, and they helped my sweet kitty feel better. 🩷 I loved that the room we were in was clearly set up for cats, there was even a Feliway plug-in in the wall. I've never see my cat so calm at a vet before!

I received terrible news that my cat had to be euthanized the day I brought him in. Total shock, total devastation. They allowed me to take him home for a few hours and stayed open late and we're the kindest during the most awful day off my life so the other owner could drive several hours to get there. It was completely terrible but the staff was just so kind and didn't rush me or anything. I will continue to use them for my other cat. This is the place to go. They helped with everything. Financially and emotionally. I am struggling terribly but they did everything they could and I couldn't have asked for more kindness and assistance than they gave me. They care. Truly. Thank you for taking care of Krusty and myself. I won't forget it.

They were recommended to us when we called another facility that was at capacity. Our regular veterinary facility was closed for the evening. Went on line and received a quick appointment time. It was a Friday evening and our cat was going in and out of the litter box straining and crying. We were greeted as we walked in the door and were quickly ushered into an examining room. Our cat was seen immediately. The vet and the staff were fantastic. Careful to explain everything they wanted to do as well as the cost. We had their undivided attention as they evaluated our cat. Gave us great service and treated our cat and we were out of there in a little over an hour. I highly recommend this treatment facility when your regular vet. is not available. They have great hours and the people we saw were very knowledgeable and compassionate. A very much needed service.

I had to take my German Shepard in yesterday. They were the nicest vet I’ve been too. They worked with my limited funds to get him his treatment, and even called the next day to check on him. Everyone was so kind. The paperwork they sent after the visit was incredibly detailed. I would definitely trust them with all of my dogs
