My animals have been going to Avalon Vet for years. I have always had such great experiences with all of the Doctors and techs. Today I had to bring my cat in for an emergency appointment. Dr. Seremet was so wonderful and compassionate as I had to make the decision to humanly euthanize my 20 year old cat. Her compassion will never be forgotten during a really difficult time. Thank you to all of the staff at AVH. They truly are some of the best.

We have been going to Avalon vet for years. My dog was VERY ill and I called them to get him in. They told me they could only fit us in for a emergency visit at a higher cost which I totally understood. They scheduled us at 2:40pm. We got there at 2:30pm and let them know upon arrival that he was getting MUCH worse. They assured us over the phone someone would be out to get us shortly. At 3:15pm we still had heard nothing. I called them to follow up and make sure they had the correct phone number. The receptionist on the phone informed me that it would be over another 20 min before they could even

I took my aunts new puppy there because she had to work and my experience was great. It was the first time I ever went there and the vet was very nice very thorough explained everything to me. Price was reasonable for what I had to take her there for. Would definitely recommend and would definitely make them my vet if I had an animal.
