Preventive care

Best Veterinarian Hospital ever The love and compassion that they have for a client and our pets.

Jun 13, 2023

My beloved dog suddenly collapsed and I rushed him there but it was too late. They were very compassionate and professional and I was grateful. A week later, I found a dog and took him in to be scanned for a microchip and he had one they were very helpful and kind. It's a great team of animal lovers dedicated to what they do and it shows. Very good place to take your pets to.

I would want the front desk staff at a veterinary office to create a welcoming experience to assure me that my dog in boarding also felt welcomed but that was not my experience. After a long 18 days of having my dog in boarding here, my daughter and I went in anxiously excited to pick our dog up and front staff was like ho-hum, "that'll be $700"... just another transaction. Then the person from the kennel brings in our well-missed dog, hands me the leash and quickly turns away. No personality, no offer of an update, no shared excitement to see family re-united after 18 days. I had to call her back to ask her a question and it was like pulling teeth to get her to tell me they had at least feed my dog that morning. No other update provided, it was like, thanks for your money, here's your dog, bye. Perhaps it was just me, or just a bad day at the clinic.

I loved this place and the care that the staff showed for my dog. My dog has been struggling with his weight and is very sensitive to calories. Originally we came in to address his conjunctivitis but the fact that they actually asked questions about his diet, medical history, and obtained and reviewed his past veterinary history before the appointment. They worked with me to squeeze him in for an appointment and allowed me to drop him off and take a look at him when they had some free time in the day. Compared to past experiences, this was amazing service and I will take him here regularly!

We I had an emergency with my dog a couple of weeks ago. I went in there, and they were not able to see my dog because you had to make an appointment. The lady was nice at the desk both of them. However, one of them who I believe was like an assistant gave wrong advice, and I believe that something worse could have happened to my dog throughout the night had I not gone to the veterinarian hospital in Sumner. However, I did appreciate a lady who was in there who came over and prayed over my dog because she had a bone wedged between her teeth at the top of her mouth in the back of her throat... Prayers of the righteous availet much... 🙏🏽🙏🏽
