I remember about twenty years ago my dads dog Princes, one day just he just feel Ill. Dont remember all that was wrong, but Dr Gigsted I could be wrong on the name, but the oldest male doctor there. He donated blood from his own dog to save my dads dogs life! It gave Princes the strength to heal, and have many more years of happiness. They let me back to visit him half hour before I had to go to work every day. This place is were I always brought all my, and my families pets for about 35 years now! I have so much trust in them. They truly care about your fur babies. One this I wish is

I've had 2 experiences in the last week with both my dogs. The compassion and care was outstanding in the care for both pets. From the faces that greet you when you enter the building to the staff in back taking care of my pets, the care was great.
