How to Save on Veterinary Costs at A Breed Apart Animal Hospital

Preventive care

For the last 25 years, we have entrusted our dogs often and unconditionally to these loving, caring professionals. We've moved out of the area and are sorry not to be able to continue that relationship but we encourage you to start yours today. You simply won't find more professional, kind caring and enjoyable people in a vet Clinic anywhere. Thank you from the bottom of our dog food bowls.

My dog is nearing end of life. Kate sat on the ground with her, comforted her, and we worked on a plan to manage her pain until it’s time to say our goodbyes (yes, while sitting on the ground). I never felt rushed, although they were short staffed that day and I didn’t have an appointment. Kate’s empathy and true love for what she does has always shined through, but yesterday, when it was needed more than ever, it was brighter than the sun. There’s no easy way to say goodbye to a pet, but having the support of an amazing vet, makes a difficult situation much easier to navigate. Big thank you from Molly and I to the entire staff for their empathic approach to vet care. It’s hard to find and I feel incredibly lucky to have found it. On a softer note, the staff really appreciates and enjoys donuts. If you have an early morning appointment, be sure to sneak a 50 pack of donut holes to the counter. Thank you!

All the staff here are incredibly kind, dedicated people. It's great to bring my pet to a place where I can trust the entire clinic.

I've lived in the area with my two cats for nearly 8 years. I've only recently started going to A Breed Apart recently. One of our cats has a few chronic needs (diabetes, megacolon, food sensitivities) and requires special care and a whole lot of $$$. In looking for more affordable care with excellent services, I came across A Breed Apart. The reviews are true folks, they have treated me and my furry family to compassionate and results focused care. My Yoshi had recently had an extensive dental proceduee and frankly, it's like ABA had dialed back his clock about 5 years. Yoshi now has a newfound spring in his step thanks to the guidance and treatment from Dr. Kate and the rest of the team at A Breed Apart. Highly recommended.

I called before my appointment to let them know I would be running late. Unfortunately there was an accident on the express way. They also said that I can not be more than 15 mins late. I arrive exactly 15 mins and I waited for the women at the front to finish her call on the phone. After 4 mins she then ask our name and I told her and she said let me check with the doctor. By this time it is 21 mins after, then she come back and said since the doctor only have 10 mins let they have to reschedule. I told her I came at the 15 and I had to wait until she got off the phone. Just like I could not control the accident on the expressway, she could not control the time she spent on the phone. We already had had to wait a month to get in and they they wanted us to wait another 6-8 weeks for another appointment.
