Had an animal emergency with a stray dog. It was late in the day, a fire situation and could not get help from anyone, even the 24 hour emergency pet hospital. Dodd willingly went above and beyond to provide top rate assistance. They certainly gained my respect and earned my business with my other pets. The entire staff was professional, friendly and willing to help. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them to anyone. Your pet is in good hands with these folks.

This was a new vet visits that has turned me into a regular. As someone who rescues neighborhood dogs on a part time budget its important to have a good and competent vet close by. Every staff member and Dr. has been incredible and kind. Im so thankful and I know my fur children are too for their quality care and ability to put you at ease!

I adopted a geriatric dog two years ago. Dodd animal hospital gave her great care such as de worming. I took her in a few months ago and the vet was very honest with me that her time had come. She received very gentle end of life care and did not suffer at all, which brings us solace. Dr Kretschmar and Dr Dyes are great vets. They also have private cremation service. my other pets also receive care here. Very pleased to have this vet nearby.

In my opinion, this vet hospital is more of "extended family members" due to the type of quality care they give to my "animal family" beloved ones. I'm very grateful for they're attention to the top quality of care they give. Thank you.

Dr. Tim is the BEST! Donna is very caring, compassionate and knowledgeable. The wait time is not good, not sure if clients are double booked but we usually wait almost an hour to be seen....this is the only drawback.
