I have two cats who have been going for the last 10 years. We are always really happy with their services and professionalism. One cat is very temperamental and a little hard to deal with and they have always been really patient and not overly boisterous as to not overstimulate him. Latest update addition - we had to let one of our cats go to the bridge due to her failing health. They were extremely professional, gave us all the treatment options possible along with the potential outcomes, and all the time we needed when we said goodbye. Very respectful with all our decisions and final results.

Everyone at Hawks Prairie Veterinary Hospital are very friendly and caring. We plan to take our little Papillon boy traveling with us in-cabin on our trips to Washington DC and abroad. They’ve been super helpful providing information and insight to be sure we have everything we need.

I hope that my words can accurately describe the compassion, concern, and diplomacy each of the employees shared with my husband and I when we lost our lil' girl, Paquito. They handled her with great care and shared their love for her and us, her parents. She was almost 21 when she passed on August 31st. A week prior to this, she was going down really fast so my husband and I had no choice but to call and make an appt to euthanize her. A 3pm appt was made for the next day so we braced ourselves... Literally, one and a half hour before we had to bring her in, she came into our kitchen with enthusiasm and vigor of the pup she once was! Our lil girl wasn't ready to go. We called and canceled the appt. and spent the next week adoring, loving, and thanking her for the many years of joy she had given us. She quietly passed In my arms...she did it her way! I want to share my sincere gratitude for all the employees at Hawks Prairie Veterinary who cared for my Lil' Girl after she passed. They took care of her cremation, gave me her plaster paw print and sent the most thoughtful, sincere, and absolutely beautiful card with their condolences. They made such a horrible experience bearable and for this...I will always be grateful.
