I love this place. They knew my dog like it was theirs. The Dr could remember every detail from our last visit. My Boss had surgery to removed some skin tumors and he came out brand new! No complications and quick follow up. Very compassionate when we had to put him to sleep. They have experience and very knowledgeable. Rates are just, and no BS.

Been going here for nearly six years with our girl, a lab mix. Thankfully, most of the time it's just a check up with some bloodwork and shots. However, a few months back we had plans for the weekend but the morning we were leaving the dog had something dried and crusty on her cheek, her black fur obscured what was dried blood. Cleaned her up and she had a small puncture in her cheek! Out came the flash light and her mouth looked fine inside, we couldn't figure out what the wound was from. I called and explained the situation and they told us to come to the office and they'd squeeze us in. It was

I have to give a shout out to this place. My poor kitty was having seizures out of no where. The vet saw him right away and got blood work drawn that she thought might help us find what was wrong. She found a parasite that was causing the seizures and was able to get him on the proper meds right away. He's been so happy and healthy ever since!

Outstanding Staff, it is a family run business Father and Daughter are both very competent and caring vets. They take their time to explain everything to you. In one our early interactions with Fort Hill, they saved the life of our dog Gingerbread that we rescued.
