2nd recent visit for my dog was excellent. She got a thorough exam and all her shots. Dr Fouts answered all my questions and took the amount of time needed. The cost was moderate and a very good value for the services rendered. One thing I appreciate is that Hillside always tells me the correct opinion about an issue but they don't brow beat you like some offices until you feel guilty. Specifically I choose to give my dog a heart worm pill rather than the shot. They gave me the rationale and I made the decision. Thank you!
Hillside got me an appointment within a few days for an issue with my dogs

The wait time was minimal, the care exemplary, and fees reasonable. We would recommend Hillside, Dr. Hopper, and staff for pet care. Our anxious Molly was relaxed and calm at her visit. She acted more like she was visiting friends than at a medical appointment. Thank you for such loving care.

Im not going to the vet frequently, but every time I go its the same great experience. Hillside Small Animal Hospital is always clean and the staff is always so welcoming. I know every single time my dog is getting the best possible care. I was referred to Hillside Small Animal Hospital and it has been an amazing experience ever since. I tell all my friends they need to take their pet to Hillside Small Animal Hospital.
