I was taking my dog to this clinic for about 4 months. I felt couple of lumps on him and took him over there. They took x-rays and could not see any lumps and said dog was in good health. I even showed him where lumps are at and he said older dogs tend to get lumps. So I decided to get a 2nd opinion and took dog over to another vet a day later. That vet said that he had 2 tumors on him. One was a fatty tumor and unsure of other one. So I decided to have that remove them. Well later I get a text saying they found 3 more lumps. So how can this vet find 5 tumors but yet vet at State St could not find

I have been with this clinic for over twenty years now. They will always find the time to get your pet in if they are in trouble. Plus the vets talk to one another so you are getting two vets to decide the care if your pet. They always try the easiest way to solve a situation. They have very reasonable prices.

Our family has been using this clinic for over a decade, and have never received anything but quick and compassionate service at reasonable prices for everything from basic checkups to saying goodbye to beloved furry family members. The doctors have been honest with us about end-of-life expectations instead of trying to encourage us to spend money hand over fist to extend the life of a suffering pet. This means more to our family than I can say. They are a bit of a drive from our location, but we have visited other clinics in the area and there's just no comparison. Separate doors for cats and
