We recently had to put down our 15-year-old dog, who started having seizures. The staff was very responsive and respectful. They even refunded the 60 dollar's worth of medication we purchased 3 days earlier without any prompting.

The vet staff is very caring and help me so much in taking care of my dog Sammie. He was almost 19 and had a heart condition. Dr Jonathan. And the staff were alway there to help and do his check ups. They tried everything they could and we together were able to manage his class 6 heart murmur for a while but on October 29 we lost him. The care and compassion they showed for us during this loss was amazing. I am truly grateful. They made a donation. To. Shelter in his name and took care of his remains. Thank you Dr Jonathan and staff.

I just moved here and my fur baby was having some stomach issues. The staff was very supportive and was able to see my baby quickly. They were so nice and put me at ease that with a few changes, my kitty should feel better soon. A huge thanks to Clayton Animal Hospital for making our move to Clayton so much easier!

I was switching from Banfield and it was a much more pleasant experience. I liked that I received a beeper to wait in the car until a room was available. Aside from helping with covid, I have a reactive anxious dog so it was super nice to be able to walk in and straight back to a room. The staff was friendly and took their time with answering questions. I liked that they were able to give my dog her shots while petting her on the floor rather than holding her on the table. I also REALLY liked that I was able to pay in the room. Again, with a hyper, anxious dog trying to stand in line and get dog

It was a great economic use of time and yet still very thorough. At my previous vet I would've been there 45 minutes before even seeing a vet. The checkout was also very easy and quick.

Very pleased with the care my pet receives here. I appreciate the professionalism, the courtesy from everyone I have spoken with, the responsiveness, and, most of all, the medical expertise and communication. They value our pets mostly and work hard to ensure our pets receive the best care. Thank you to reception, technicians, and doctors. You all make a great care team.
