Very friendly and knowledgeable. I love how they give you a lot of information about your specific pet to take home and read through. They go above and beyond compared to other vets I've taken my pets to. I highly recommend going here!

Its hard to find vets who have experience with rabbits, but Parrish Creek has been phenomenal. They are quick, professional, knowledgeable and I have complete trust that theyll always take care of my bunn. Highly recommend for anyone in Davis County or northern Salt Lake County, for rabbits and other exotics, as well as dogs and cats.

We absolutely love Parrish Creek Vet Hospital! The vet, the vet techs, everyone is great and friendly. It's never fun taking in a sick pet-family-member, but they make it a breeze and we never dread going in.
