Report
Maggie was diagnosed with a potentially serious digestive disorder. After some tests, Dr. Ingle and Dr. Dzierga recommended a course of action. Now, after approximately a year, Maggie is eating well and is extremely playful again. Dr. Ingle and Dr. Dzierga, and the entire staff, are very professional, knowledgeable, caring and follow-up oriented. I was pleasantly surprised to receive calls asking how Maggie was doing. I look forward to using the Cainhoy Vet Hospital in the future for both our cats.

The staff and Doctors are all an amazing, professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and patient team. They have treated my very dramatic Alaskan Malamute since she was 8 weeks old and she always loves going in, whether its for a round of vaccines or just to get weighed. I really cant say enough great things about them, from their reasonable prices to their outstanding and friendly staff, this is by far my favorite vet hospital.

Took my dog here for the first time. We are looking for a more cost effective vet closer to our home. I was very happy with the care given, and the honest and open conversation with the Dr. The techs were great with my pet. He was a bit scared of the new environment and the reason for the visit was he didn't feel to well to begin with. The techs moved at his pace and made sure he felt comfortable the whole time. Would definitely recommend them and will be continuing to take my pets here!
