We have been going here for a while for our 2 dogs. We use them for grooming and the doc sees them also. The doc is amazing, the staff and grooming are rude, unprofessional and unkind. We will had a miscommunication before Christmas with our dogs being groomed and the staff was extremely rude. We decided to keep going because in the past things had been ok and we understand everyone was under stress when the mishap happened. We came back today and was greeted with eye rolls, annoyance and talked down to. If you are looking for a practice that treats you with kindness and respect, this

I brought my dog here today for the first time to evaluated for a few bumps we had found on him. We had to wait in the car until a tech came to get us...my dog was crying and barking as he does not enjoy going to the vet. Beth came out to grab us and was really patient and kind with my boy. We went in and met with Dr. Flowers who was also very kind and friendly. She took some cells from each location and came back with some semi- bad news. She gave me her opinion, reviewed some different options and also added what she would do if she were me which helps in moving forward. The price of the visit

We have been taking our dog to Pleasantburg Veterinary Clinic for over 8 years. We board our dog there all the time. The employees are so sweet to our dog and take great care of her. We always recommend them.
