$770 to immunize 2 Pomeranians is outrageous but don't complain to her or watch your country vet turn into a fire breathing dragon. I could have had 3 dogs spayed for that much money. Wicked

Super nice people. Even though they were under staffed and not taking new patients when our dog had an emergency they all went way out of their way to care for our dog and saved her life. Can not say how appreciative we are.
