Very satisfied with Raton Vet. Hospital. Staff is friendly and helpful. Our Chihuahua was spayed and we were nervous about how she would do afterwards, but she healed quickly, with no problems. She's back to her happy puppy self. Would recommend the clinic. Great job!

My cat had a dental emergency and we had to travel out of state to get here.The price for everything was slightly pricey but,the staff was really friendly so that made up for the price. My cat is now feeling happy and healthy. :)

Got an appt next day and they took me and my kitten Spot in within a few minutes of our appt time. Very thorough, gave him a treat and doted over how cute he was. Good with his 2 shots. Next visit he'd gotten hurt and they got us in within an hour. Stitches and neutering done and picked him up the next morning. Great staff and paying is easy. My only issue is they're a little pricey with $70 for an exam. Shots were reasonable and stitches/neuter together was abt $220. Programs for spay/neuter but with injury no time. I'd definitely recommend them
