Earlier this week I had to bring in my sweet kitty who had been lost & recently found. She was very sick but we had thought she might be able to pull through. They gave her the best fighting chance they could &… did everything they could have to help. When it was evident she would not make it, the decision was made to put her down. All of the staff- front desk, vet techs, & the doctor were so kind & loving to my kitty during her stay. They were also very kind to me & truly made this awful incident as smooth & easy as possible. I highly recommend Wellington Vet Clinic

With the recent passing of our oldest cat Minksy, the staff at Wellington Vet were phenomenal. We were treated with utmost respect and compassion as our kitty passed over that Rainbow Bridge. The facility was quiet and comfortable as we were given ample time to grieve. Thank you to the staff and doctor for being so kind and understanding! Mark and Valerie Avery
