Dr Seagrist and her team came out yesterday to clean some nasty leg wounds on our unhappy and scared thoroughbred. The way she handled our horse showed a lot of skill with some courage on top. Dr. Seagrist, you’re amazing! Thank you!

We needed a health certificate from a USDA vet for travel. We were able to get an appointment with the large animal clinic within a few days. We saw the doctor quickly and were done in no time. I would recommend CVC for anyone needing a large animal vet.

This was my first time putting a horse down by Cottonwood Vet and this is just my experience)
I called the vet earlier yesterday for Gypsy to be put down, she was limping bad and her leg just didn’t look right. So I called explained that my horse has never been in a trailer, she’s got most likely a broken leg and that I needed a vet out here in my… grandparents property. The (#1) office lady said sure and booked an appointment for 1:30pm. 1:40pm rolls by so I call saying “hey just checking in about the vet coming.” (#2) office lady says “you were suppose to

I found very few vets that would look at my goats after being torn up by a dog. They were so friendly and kind to us and our goats. Showed us the wounds and how we should care for them! They will be my first call if anything ever happens again!
