My daughter lost her dog. Her everything, and when it happened, we rushed her little girl Lady straight there. She was DOA, we were told. We went over the procedures of cremation and things she would like added on, nose print, paw print, hair. The girl didn't write any of this down. I had to go find someone cause they left us in the room. Anyway, long story short, when we went back to pay. They did NOT have any prints or hair because she never wrote that important information down. And she explicitly said she wanted us to think about things we would like so she could write it down. Needless to say, my daughter's heart was broke again. Because these were important. And they brushed it off like whatever. This is the same emergency hospital that wouldn't even take my Jellybean when she was brutally attacked by an aggressive pit bull. How they nonchalantly pretend to care, but pretending is what they are good at because in the end this memories my daughter can't get back.

Dr. Renee has been one of the most compassionate vet we have known. We trust her judgement and skill with our pets. Period.

Dr. Brett Bower and her staff are phenomenal. Truly miracle workers with my pets’ special needs. They are honest, kind, and will work with you to form the best plan of care for your animals. I feel so grateful to find a caring and wonderful veterinarian office that I can trust with my most precious possession, my fur babies. I was new to the area and wanted to establish care for my dogs right away. I had to wait a month+ to get in, but believe me, it was worth the wait. Thank you, all again. Your professionalism combined with the upmost hands on care does not go unnoticed!
