Will not take my babies anywhere else. All the docs there are great. Dr Billy Townsend is the bomb. Wonderful care and very helpful. If they recommend something it's not just to sell it. It is definitely what is best for your baby.

In a time of such pain and loss, the staff and Vet were so kind and just did their best to help us through the process of losing of German Rottweiler Harley. They let us know of all our options and gave us hard but truthful information so we could make the best decision for quality of life for our beloved pet of 8 years. They accommodated us, 2 daughters, 2 son in laws and 8 grandbabies so we could all come say bye to Harley and show him love all the way up to the end. I would recommend this vet hospital to all. They have the most caring and compassionate and patience of any place I have ever used
