I normally take our dogs to a clinic in Springfield, but after they told us it would be over $500 to get our new dog spayed, I looked for other options. We ended up choosing Northside- and they were great! The staff took great care of her for the day and were even able to get her a vaccine she needed AND they sent all the information over to her regular vet--rockstars! If we lived closer I would continue taking all the dogs here.
