This not a good place to take your fur babies. They rush you to much and don't take the time to explain things to you . You never see the doctor. And they're always wanting more money for something. I definitely would not recommend this place.

My great dane was attacked by a pit bull. Dr. Shelton & staff did an outstanding job of restoring her to perfect health with no signs of the attack. Caring, thorough & fairly priced veterinarian. Very highly recommended!
