My dog had bladder stones & needed cystotomy asap. Couldn't for the life of me find any vet who could fit him into their busy schedules. Bladder stones were stuck in his urethra & that can cause renal failure & kill the dog fast. Nobody else cared. Wilson Vet told us to come on in & they'd squeeze him in. $1,500 for Wilson Vet to perform lifesaving… surgeries on my dog, getting all the bladder stones out with the least amount of secondary damage sustained, keep him overnight, accommodate his IBD/colitis, send the stones to be analyzed. I am more than pleased. They also call

Do NOT let Dianna groom your pet!! She will not take them out to go to the bathroom! Even when told to take my pet out every 3/4hrs because my dog won’t mess his crate up, she won’t! This has been the third time, when picking my dog up from the groomers where he’s had problems trying to use the bathroom. He looks like he’s straining to urinate and… it only come out by the drops. No full stream. Also, the breed of my dog is know to have urinary stones due to the lack of uric acid they produce, so he needs to go out at least every 3hr to prevent discomfort. I am very

What an amazing staff!! My family was faced with the worst possible thing that happens to our fur babies. I tried to go to my regular vet but essentially turned away and was also turned away by several others in my area. My daughter uses this vet and we called and they told us to come on in. We had a bit of a drive but when we arrived they were so kind and thoughtful. Even though they were fitting us in they told us to take our time, to spend as much time as we needed before and after. If it wasn't an hour drive I would use them for all my pets needs. Thank you Wilson Veterinary Hospital for your

They have always taken good care of our animals. We went there without an appointment due to rescuing a kitten and they worked us in. They have always treated our boarded animals well also.
