We offer a 25% discount for dental procedures during February and March, ensuring pets maintain optimal oral wellness through professional care tailored to their specific needs.

This group of vets truly love what they do. To be able to locate an avian vet in emergency after recent 1200 mile move and be seen instantly was a minor miracle. The care and compassion they would show my Ducky (Blue and Gold Macaw) was clear when we came through the door. And while our ending was not good their care ensured that his flight across the rainbow bridge was pain-free and quick at home in my arms. Thank you Auburn Animal Clinic so much for your help.

I brought my chameleon in for a slight eye issue (something was in his eye), they didnt know his gender, they couldnt tell basic chameleon anatomy, they kept him for two days, they cut his nails which dont grow back and didnt tell me, and when I picked him
Up they gave me a PETCO CARE SHEET (full of incorrect info). My chameleon was healthy with a minor issue when I brought him and since bringing him home he got COMPLETELY sick and passed away this morning. Ive had conversations with others and even people with dogs and cats have had horrible experiences with this clinic making

Took our goat there to have surgery done after she broke her back leg. Then the doctor blamed us for the splint being too tight. Long story short, the doctor blamed us for everything that possibly went wrong,… and never admitted to anything being her fault or a possibility from the injury itself. She told us the skin would grow back or it would just fall off, meaning the leg. We immediately contacted another vet right after we left. We got our little girl into the vet the next day and her leg had gangrene (which we were never told gangrene-even the dr notes didn’t state gangrene).

Both of these stars go to the receptionist Gabriella who was so sweet and helpful! whoever spoke rudely to her loud enough for me to hear in the phone though, what the heck? I decided to bring my girl elsewhere solely based on that. so Gabriella gave me a response she wasn't supposed to. it costs nothing to be kind, and to do it in such a way that the customer heard through the phone is completely unprofessional. Gabriella, I hope you have an amazing day where everyone is kind to you. auburn animal clinic, you get no stars.
