I was taking care of my grand-furbaby while her owners were away on vacation and she ran out of her heart prescription. So I called her vets office (Lineberger) and left a message about needing a refill and that I am 73 yrs old and live more than an hour away. Meanwhile, I called my own vet and told them about my situation, they said that they would fax or e-mail the prescription to the caretaker's nearest PetSmart if it were their patient, to accommodate the needs of the caretaker. So I called Linebergers office back and told them what my vets (Sun Valley) would do. The girl checked

Last year I brought trouble for the first time and he was really sick. I wasn’t allowed in because of covid but everyone was so great I coming out to check on me and give me updates and took such good care of… trouble. So of course I brought him back when time for check up and shots and to get looked at for his itching. Everyone is very nice patient and helpful. I will be planning on bringing my other two fur babies for their checkup and shots soon.

Friendly staff, especially the young lady who worked on Saturday morning, 10/16/21 at 10am. She came out to get Cooper, who is not the friendliest of dogs, and kindly handled him after we finally coaxed him out of the car. I called back after driving away to get her name, but no one answered, probably because all were busy, or short-staffed. Many thanks to all your workers, who have all been nice to us.

I have been a patron at Linebergers for over 15 years and have always been impressed by their compassion, care, and dedication to my pets. These past few months, I have really seen how truly amazing the staff at Lineberger's is. My oldest fur baby, Adler, recently had an accident that required her to go visit Linebergers a few times a week. Adler is old and blind and she, unfortunately, had an accident in which all four of her paw pads got severely burned. I was so worried about Adler and immediately took her to Lineberger's. I knew that she was in a lot of pain and was extremely concerned that

I wish I could give 0 stars! The entire experience was very un professional and they clearly didn't care about my dog. They didn't know how to hold him and almost dropped him. The vet Dr. Lineberger kept calling my dog the wrong gender and refused to do the test that he recommended the icing on top of the worst vet visit is when they gave us his anti biotics they told us to give him 3 times as much as the bottle was labeled. When we asked they just laughed and said yeah the bottle is right. When I found a new vet they didn't want to send his file over to them till I showed up and pushed there hand

My two fur babies have seen three out of the four current veterinarians, and they have all been spectacular. They are so comfortable coming here. One of my babies does not do well at the vet and the staff is so accommodating and caring when it comes to making her comfortable. They are very professional, but very personable too. Exceptional care, knowledgeable staff, and very reasonable pricing.
