We needed an emergency vet appointment due to our dog, Luna having had a seizure. They took Luna right in and did a work up on her. While a diagnosis of what caused the seizure was not found, the vet was very thorough and offered further options available.

I had an emergency with my cat. No one else would see her. This vet offered to see her that day. They took good care of her and came up with a plan for her moving forward. Excellent and caring vet

Thorough examinations of our three dogs, and a vet that spends her time explaining all medical needs and considerations. They are not the least expensive, but the first vet visit for our dogs in the last three years while living in Sussex County where we've been very satisfied, and confident our dogs are getting excellent care.

I was at Bethany beach for a week on vacation when my 6 month old puppy began having terrible diarrhea. I called Precious paws for help and I have to say, they went above and beyond. They were so kind, taking my many calls and answering my questions. One of the vets even picked up a specific medication I needed from another vets office. Im very grateful !

Dr Maniatty and Dr Hawthorne are amazing doctors who care for my 28 year old cockatoo, Willy. I feel so fortunate to have them close to our home. The office staff, Tammy in particular, rise to every occasion to make a lot over Willy. I am so thankful for the care Willy gets in this office.

My silky was having tummy & pain issues....with no appt they had me in the office by 1130. The place was slammed with furry clients. We r new DE residents but I was treated as if I had been going there for years. Ran tests, exams & medicine to make my Gizmo feel better. I will be a regular client.
