I have been a client for over 30 years and have always had faith in every veterinarian Ive seen. They are thorough, compassionate and obviously love the animals they treat. They dont hesitate to refer to someone else if they think it necessary. Yes, they might recommend a test or treatment you dont think is necessary but the decision is yours to make for your pet. I have found them all to be willing to answer any question, and patient with emotional outbursts.

We first contacted Ludwigs Vet this summer when a dog we were sitting required stitches. My regular vet and few others we called around to were booked. They were wonderful and accommodating. We recently returned with a foster dog for a spay and had another great experience. We plan to switch for our own dog and future foster dog care.

The staff at Ludwig's Corner are second to none. Our cat, Ollie, became very ill. We were back and forth to them 4 days in a row. Every vet and tech we saw was beyond helpful. They gave their all to figure out what was going on with him. X-rays, ultrasounds, and an exploratory surgery. Each day when a new issue arose, they got me in. They showed me how to force feed him to get him eating again. And, I am so thankful that they are truly out to help animals, and are not chasing money. They counted many of our repeat visits as follow ups to the exploratory surgery so that the cost of Ollie's care
