We have been a customer of Gassow for 32 years. We moved out of the area to Saline, and continued to return to Gassow. My dog is aging and is having a lot of issues. So we tried to make an appointment to get him in, but they were booked. They told my husband to call at 8 AM to see if there is a cancelation that we could get him in at. So he did, and a 1:15 opened. So my husband left work early from the Airport, to Saline to pick up our dog, and drove out to Gassow. He was 15 minutes late for the appointment, and they refused to see Buddy, because they didn't want to inconvenience anyone else because

Gasow's team has taken excellent care of our dogs for the past 10 years. One frustration is that appointments are rarely on time. Other than that we have been very happy.

I will NEVER bring my dog here again. I took my dog in for treatment, and I tested positive for COVID days later. The vet didn't have on a mask and nor did the staff. When I called, the manager basically said "what do you want me to do about it". Just no care at all whatsoever. If you care about your animals, think twice about going here. They dont… believe that animals can contract covid.
They don't believe in testing their staff or social distancing. And claim to be abiding by CDC Guidlines, but animals can in fact catch any virus from us humans. She was very passive aggressive toward

My daughters cat had to be put to sleep and we did the drive up. She is 19 but this was her first pet to put down alone and she said the staff was amazing!! They made her and lily very comfortable and gave my daughter nothing but kind words, they even squeezed her in because they knew how important this was. They also in the past helped with a cut eye on my dog and it felt like they were NOT there just to take my money but to help the pet. Worth the wait and they didnt leave a hole in my pocket!
