All of the above boxes checked because, for once, they all apply! I love the fact that this clinic is family owned/operated. Dr Butan is such a caring vet-tell me of another vet that actually calls personally to check up on your animal after surgery (the day after surgery and even on Sunday for an update on how your "baby" is doing)??!! You simply do not see that sort of personal commitment in this day and age. I cannot recommend this animal clinic highly enough. The are the BEST!

Words can't express how grateful I am to have found Canal Animal Hospital at this critical time. My beloved chihuahua has only been a patient at Canal for a week, but Dr. Butan has already gone above & beyond to help us & provide clarity when needed. Compassionate, genuine, & fair. Thank you.

Due to a move, I needed a new veterinarian, and I was worried because I'd been seeing my previous vet for twenty years. I was extremely encouraged with the service I received at Canal Animal Hospital. Dr. Butan explanations are thorough and easy to understand. The staff is friendly and accomodating too!
