I came in to do a pre-op appointment to get my 10 month old American bulldog spayed. She gets nervous around the vet since being chipped and this time was no different. Instead of being patient with her the tech kept yanking at her collar and trying to force her mouth open, or body into a certain position before finally being prompted by the Vet to stop. The vet herself was kind and allowed me to assistant to lower my pup's anxiety. Cost of the spay was estimated at $890-$980! I will be taking her to Aniciria in Manassas instead and pay only $278.

I am so happy to have found this vet. They take great care of my new puppy and ensure he gets all of the love and care he needs. I have been able to learn quite a lot from them as a new pet owner.

It is so out of my way to travel but I go for the great professional grooming service. And my COCOA is so well cared for and beautiful after his grooming.
