They did a great job with Ellie Mae. She can be a tough customer but the whole visit went very well. Vaccines, blood draw and exam. Nicely done ✅

Terrible experience here. Would not recommend to anyone. They did not listen to my concerns about my pet. Also didnt perform services they were asked to because they were lazy. They told me I would have to have video evidence of my pet in pain for them to do anything.
@waunakee vet before you discredit my comment. My pet was placed in your care under a different name. So dont say Ive never been there

The team here is so kind and compassionate to our giant two dogs! They understand them as important members of our family and offer payment options to anyone struggling to afford their pet's care. Highly recommend.
