I've been taking all my animals, exotic and domestic alike, here. They are always professional and never overcharge me. They explain everything up front and also help you understand everything going on with your pet. They give you options and don't make you feel like it's an ultimatum decision that will break the bank. I've used services like wellness exams, check ups every month, and euthanasia when my dog was too far gone from her disease. They let me take my time and say my goodbyes and also made me beautiful take home items like a paw print and hand signed card to remember my baby girl by

I brought our female bunny to be fixed they were very nice. However when my husband brought in our other bunny there was road delays. They had already made us pay. They would not see the bunny at all and my husband had to take time off work to take him. We will not be returning and I will be sure to let my family, friends and colleagues to not bring their animals there.
