My cat was very sick, and they couldn't figure out what was wrong with him, but they kept him there and did everything they could and got him better so he could come home.

Great place. Even though I hadn't been there before after a move, they scheduled me in to see them that afternoon. Treated my dog at a low cost then called me days later to see how he was recovering.
