Preventive care

I just want to say thank you to the staff, Dr. Jesse and everyone else involved in the care of our Great Dane Drogo. We sadly lost him last weekend but everyone took such good care of him in his last days. They are kind, professional and I can’t imagine taking my babies anywhere else.

We moved to the area and wanted to take all six of our dogs to one, closer vet clinic as we had been going to three different clinics within an hour from our new home. We transferred all of the records to Associated and that experience was good. The receptionist, as well as Dr. Jesse, were very thorough in making sure they had all the records they needed, and questioned some items on the records that weren't quite clear. Our first dog to visit for her regular checkup back in February was a good experience. They all doted over our Skye, stating what a good girl she was and how they looked forward to meeting the rest of them if they were anything like her. We then took our puppy in for her first puppy visit, subsequent shot visits and finally her spaying in June. Dr. Jesse was wonderful each of the visits and handled the 'baby' of our group wonderfully! Towards the end of June, we brought our remaining four dogs in, two at a time, for their annual shots and checkups. The staff and Dr. Jesse were again very good with our girls. They assisted me as I struggled to try and get one dog on the scale, while trying to keep the other dog out of everyone else's business (I will have help with me next time we schedule two dogs at a time!). Dr. Jesse was great in making recommendations for our Lab's allergies, and also to help our senior girl get around a little easier. She also made recommendation on what shots were no longer necessary for our old gal - something I appreciated in it showed she truly cared and wasn't just out to make a sale/profit for the clinic. This was further supported when I asked about renewing the annual supply of flea/tick and heart guard medications for our girls. She was more than happy to recommend and approve a prescription from a mail-order service; something I have received pushback from other vet clinics in the past when trying to do. We made a great decision to transfer all of our girls here. The staff has been wonderful and I find Associated's prices for the routine visits, shots and spaying fell in the low to middle price range compared to the other clinics we had been going to.

What a wonderful first vet experience! We are new pet owners and tried this place out with our new puppy. Service was distanced due to covid but went really smoothly. The staff are knowledgeable and helpful. We loved everyone we interacted with. The vet was so helpful this being our first pet and a 10 week old puppy at that. We were given a starter kit that included so much helpful information. Great prices compared to other veterinary clinics.
