Beyond being a great vet center, these folks are a class act. One of our older guinea pigs, not currently undergoing treatment for anything, passed away. They whole office staff signed a card and sent alovely note. They also made a donation in his name to a reforesting project. So incredibly thoughful. Always great service. Its not always easy to find small animals vets in the area in an emergency. So appreciate them.

This is the best Veterinarian office! My dog is always so welcomed and loves seeing the workers! They are very personable and help with any questions or concerns we may have. I just got my dog fixed here and it was an amazing experience for both myself and dog! Definitely recommend bringing your furry friend here!

I've had a fantastic experience with this vet. I'm a new puppy owner, and have found Oswego Vet reliable, responsive, and helpful. Whenever my pup has any kind of issue, no matter how small, the staff is extremely helpful in answering any of my questions even if just over the phone or email. I wish human doctors were this good!

Top to bottom fantastic. Your furry and family members get top-notch medical care delivered in a professional and caring manner. I’ve been with them for years with two very different dog family members and they’ve responded to each individually in ways tailored just to them from adoption, well-dog, lost-the-woods-for-three-weeks, chocolate trauma, surgeries, to end of life. They have other service you’ll love too: grooming and boarding. I couldn’t ask for more.
