Best vets around. I would like to see at least 1 vet doing appointments every day as it is walk in only and sometimes the wait can be long. Over an hour is some cases. But they are all friendly and very professional. I take my dogs and horses there. Dr Martin is my go to vet, but all of them are great.

Hands down the best place to take your pet! My Jack Russell ran in the weeds and came out with several cuts, a couple of which are bad. They really made me feel comfortable thru the whole process and my crazy pup is on the mend. Thank you sooo much Boulevard Animal Hospital!!!!

My husband and I rushed in a little before they opened with an emergency and they immediately took us in and got to work on our dog. Their quick actions and care likely saved his life. Could not have asked for a better vet and staff!

Danny the financial advisor was sympathetic and helpful. I wasnt impressed with Dr Martins bedside manner. My dog has advanced gum disease and I am not financially able (nor have I ever been) to get his teeth deep cleaned. Though he responded almost shaming me. He also shamed me because if I would have bought him sooner I could have saved myself from him having extensive surgery to repair his hip bone that's out of joint. I felt like a bad mommy to my dog but he is OK the way he is an I give him more love than anyone knows. He is sleeping peacefully right now. And he does well. #warriordog #mybestfriend

Shout out to Sierra!!! My dog is ALIVE and it's partly due to Sierra's quick actions and care. She rallied to squeeze us into their already full schedule and stayed later to address our emergency. That timing was critical in the grand scheme of things. Her compassion and style of communication fit well when paired with highly stressful situations. Can't stop singing her praises. Thank you Sierra

I took my terrier who was very sick to Boulevard when we had just moved to Shelby area, my dog was treated by Dr. Martin. The care and compassion shown by all the staff and Dr. Martin was excellent! Thanks to their care my 16 year old terrier has new energy and he looks and feels like a new dog. Thank you Dr. Martin and all the staff at Boulevard! I would highly recommend bringing your pet here for excellent care.
