Our state-of-the-art facilities house surgical suites, diagnostic imaging equipment, and modern laboratories to ensure comprehensive care remains accessible locally. The veterinary team combines decades of experience with ongoing professional development to stay at the forefront of veterinary medicine. We emphasize preventive care through regular wellness exams while maintaining expertise in complex surgical procedures and chronic condition management.Our commitment extends beyond medical treatment - we understand the emotional connection between pets and families, offering house calls and personalized end-of-life care options.

Regular veterinary examinations help maintain your pet's health through early detection of potential issues. Our wellness programs include age-appropriate screenings, parasite prevention, and growth monitoring for pets at all life stages. We tailor vaccination schedules to each animal's lifestyle and regional health risks.

Our advanced surgical suite handles routine and complex procedures using modern techniques. Services include spaying/neutering, dental surgeries, and soft tissue operations with Sevoflurane gas anesthesia for patient safety.

First time there and very informative veterinarian. Whole staff is friendly and love your pets, it shows. They take care of them really well and our grandpup showed he was happy going in and coming out. Just don't like not being in person because of covid situations...so sad that is happening nowadays. Otherwise great place for your pet health.

6 weeks after a ridiculous appointment that included blood work and xray, 3 follow up calls and then after they said they were unable to do the surgery my cat needs. Now no call back with a specialist that can. Waste of $500. Scammers
Went back to my regular location in oconomowoc, my dog got rabies shot, checkup, stool sample, blood work and only $240. I should've never went elsewhere, only did because summit had an opening and it was an emergency.

Brought my dog here who was having non stop diarrhea issues. And of course as a pet parent I was worried about my little guy. I brought him to Wales Animal clinic before I went to summit and the doctor at wales told me to try these meds and dog food for my dogs diarrhea which wasnt cheap and it didnt even help infact made him worse. Since I received a coupon in the mail for summit me and my dog went there and we were both very happy. The staff is very nice and the doctor is nice and knows what hes doing. We got a different medication much cheaper at summit and since then my babys been

I love this clinic. Dr. Texeira and his staff are amazing. I always have a positive experience when I take my pets here. He is an excellent vet and has excellent knowledge on animal behaviors as well. I also believe his prices are fair. I live closer to MILWAUKEE and the prices for veterinary care in Milwaukee county are much higher.

I have been dealing with them for years mainly because they are close and I like their groomer.I recieved a bill for 30 dollars for a mistake they made. I paid it but I won't be back. Good business would dictate that they would eat the 30 dollars. But I guess it's more important than the hundreds of dollars I've given them so far. Another Vet will be getting my business. When I mentioned this to their staff all I got was a blank look.
