I've been taking my pets to this place for many years now and I'm glad it changed owners because this place has improved so much and has great service. I'm happy with my veterinary and love their cremation services. They now give a last gift when your pet passes away with your pets paw print on ceramic which you can finish in the oven and paint yourself if you like. I really loved my gift and the box they gave me with my cats ashes for it has a slot for a picture. 3 cremations and 4 pets. Very happy.

This is the only clinic I would bring my beloved pets, past and present, to. Always have received great care whether it was routine check ups, an injury, dental cleanings, ear infections or even the sad task of putting down a pet. Dr.Larochelle and the staff are very knowledgeable and friendly.
