Report
It's all started 13 years ago with a rescue dog named Bridgie. We had previous dogs taken care of by them but my Bridgie was extra special to me. I adopted her at about a year old and they did her first exam. They took care of our first child from then on. They took customer service and animal care to a new level. They kept my dog healthy and alive to the very end. We sadly lost our baby about 2 weeks ago. We have 13 INCREDIBLE years of love with her and an animal hospital I trusted in everyway that kept her going to the end. We received a card from them after we lost her and our hearts were filled
