Ive been taking my Pug Jasmine, aka Jazzy, to College Village since she was 8 weeks old. She just turned 12 years old this past September. In the past 12 years, Id say we made a trip to the vet 2-3 times a year. There has not been 1 time where I walked away not satisfied with the level of care Jasmine received. No matter which doctor was seeing her, I always walked away with confidence that Jasmine was being treated by a very knowledgeable, caring, supportive, and trustworthy staff. Best decision I made was choosing College Village Animal Clinic. I highly recommend them. You and your pet

No one else could help me, i tried calling all over , everyone was booked for two weeks!! They said , bring her in for the day and the Doc will look at her when he gets a chance. Not only did he examine her, but sent me home with antibiotic eye drops, and syringes to give her, again, high antibiotics , !!! He even took the time to call and talk with me , concerning care for Peaches!!!! The whole staff was
