The doctors and staff are paws down the best! Always professional, prompt and caring toward animals and their humans. Recently had to lay my Great Dane to rest and they were so compassionate. I highly recommend them for giant breed dogs and all other pets!

I had to take my dog here for busted stitches on her elbow and they ended up wrapping her entire leg and charged $150 just for this. I had to go back 2 days later for re-bandaging and I don’t even think they… knew what they were bandaging. They put adhesive bandaging on her wound and the quality of the bandaging was absolutely terrible. It was all twisted up and coming un-done a few hours later. I called the next day to come back in for bandaging, told I was going to get a call back. 3 hours later I just decided to call them back and Ashlyn, the woman who I spoke with the first time

They don’t care about your pets. Randomly change policies when they don’t want to do the work. Avoid this place, if you care about your pets.
