All vaccinations are administered by licensed veterinarians following strict safety protocols.

Report
I took my cat there almost 3 wks ago for hair loss and irritated skin. They charged my $190. No explanation on what the diagnosis was. They gave me a bottle of ear mite treatment and gave him a shot to stop his itching. He is still itching and has irritated skin. They didn't even administrator the first dose of drops for his ears. They were very unprofessional and money hungry. I had to ask for a receipt. The drops for his ears only cost $10 at PetSmart and Chewy. I don't see where my $190 went. NEVER AGAIN. The SPCA gives a more thorough check up than they did. SMH!

Took my Doberman to brees for an ear cropping. All of the staff were excellent. Very kind. Although I am very disappointed in the way they posted my puppys ears and their lack of explanation on how to remove the eyelash glue from my pups ears. The tape was plastered to his ear and during the removal process he lost a lot of hair. I just wish they would have taken the time to explain thoroughly how to remove the glue and tape !! I used strong adhesive removers even goo gone and nothing would make it budge.

Ive been taking my 2 fur babys to Brees for a while now and I wouldnt trade them for anything. The father & son who are the owners are professional and know what they are doing. They both are very knowledgeable and know exactly the right treatment for your fur baby The staff always makes you feel welcomed too. I highly recommend Brees for anyone looking for a good trustworthy Dr. I also recommend everyone to get there extra early because the wait time can be very long. You have the option to go in real early and sign your name and wait in the car. Thanks Brees for always taking
