So mom picked up Dixie's ashes today. To say that Lisbon Veterinary Services were amazing throughout this entire ordeal would do them an injustice. Thanks again guys! For everything!

Report
I rushed in with an emergency and they didn't hesitate to stop what they were doing and get to work on my dog. She had had a heart attack and they worked on getting her back for quite some time. They were able to bring her back once but unfortunately it was just her time to go and they were not able to bring her back again. They were extremely gentle with what we were going thru and I can't say enough how much that was appreciated. Thank you !

This is such a great place to bring my furbaby. He is a senior dog now but we have went to this vet clinic since we rescued him in 2009. The people are all so nice and wonderful!

I love this place, there is no where else that I would take my fur children. Everyone here is very nice and welcoming. They are very informative, tell you exactly how it is, and treat your pets well. I like and trust this place so much that I am willing to drive from Fargo (hour drive) to utilize their services.

Last year they took my dog on at Saturday afternoon. It was a pretty much a life or death situation. We had never gone there before. and our original vet told us they wouldn't take her because of it being a Saturday. They let us bring her in, performed her surgery. They called multiple times to keep me in the loop. We have started bringing our other animals there as our regular vet. Its a further drive but so worth the miles. I highly recommend Lisbon Vet!!!
