Very good visit. My dogs are coming in for a spay and tooth cleaning. Vet was lovely and even managed to cut my windhounds nails without her howling. Amazing.

They were so wonderful with my cat today! He’s pretty timid, and saw a dog (which he’s never really seen before) and it completely freaked him out. Needless to say, he wasn’t quite himself once he went into the room. Everyone in there helping was fantastic as he was squirming and fighting everything that was being done. Thanks for being so patient and caring!

I have always had good, caring service from this office and staff. Just had an emergency with my youngest dog and they worked him in almost immediately despite being booked for the day. Thank you all for taking care of our family members.
