Butch has been experiencing some health problems, so we chose to board him there over the weekend. The attention given to him seemed to improve his health. He was a happier, healthier dog when I brought him home!

My adventure cat Loki has always loved meeting new people and animals and never had a problem going to the vet. After a traumatic experience at a groomer we had been going to for over a year, we turned to our vet for his nail trims (my cat is secretly part eel). His first visit post-groomer was very stressful and he was visibly distressed when we got back to the car. Knowing what he had gone through at the groomer, I knew his reaction had nothing to do with this visit. When we showed up for the second visit, I voiced my concerns about his stress and they reassured me that they would do everything

They are so kind and professional with my little Shichi Charlie. As soon as I pull in the parking lot and he sees where he is, his tail started wagging and he starts talking to me constantly until they come out and get him! This is the only veterinarian, that I have seen this kind of positive response from my pets. They have cared for 2 of my dogs and one cat and I was very satisfied with the results. I would recommend Downtown Animal Hospital to everyone!
