A tough day, having to put my 11 year old lab down. Lynn Guthmiller was understanding, sympathetic and professional during the whole process, even letting us do the procedure in our vehicle because my dog Roscoe was in so much intense pain that we didn't want to move him any further. Thank you
Taking it even further he explained what the tumor that we could see was and what it was likely doing to his body from the inside. Living in omaha I've used 3 different vet clinics and always feel kinda used and uninformed after vet visits. Lynn is a straight shooter lays it out plain, and I appreciate

I have been bringing my pugs here for 4 almost 5 years and they have always been wonderful. I recently had to put my pug Lola to sleep and as any pet parent can imagine how devastating that was. The folks at Sunrise Hill Veterinary Hospital were so helpful and compassionate to our pain and the Dr helped me make the right choice. Thank you all so much.

They were super great. They were able to see my on short notice and they were so warm and welcoming. Treated me like they knew me and I had been going there my whole life even though that was the first time I had ever been there since we are new to the area. I was so happy with our experience I will definitely be using them all the time.
