Dr Allen and his staff were amazing! I needed my dog seen for an emergency visit and no one in my area could see her. We drove the hour to HH and it was worth it! They were great and very reasonably priced.

Friendly caring staff. They filled our dogs prescription after another vet refused. Our 10 year old black lab was in pain from her arthritis and walking on the beach. They clearly care for animals and not just making money. Thank you so much for helping us.

Great veterinary clinic wonderful receptionist and a great doctor/vet. Pretty cheap not overcharged or anything everything went fast and simple and my puppy is doing much better. And keep in mind they are not an animal hospital so I don't think they do walk-ins they a r e a appointment clinic.
