The vet and vet techs were super attentive, quick, and empathetic. My greyhound was so well taken care of, and we went home happy. This emergency could have been much worse but the vet team here made it a positive experience with a positive outcome. Empathy, knowledge, and attentiveness

I'm very satisfied with the Center staffs and Doctors. They were calm and explained everything clearly about the procedures of what is going to happen to my pet and the estimated price of everything before processing. Your patience, friendliness, and clear explanation of the procedures and prices of everything.

On Thanksgiving night we brought our dog Ellie here after she sustained severe neck wounds from a coyote attack. The staff were prompt with treating her and were understanding towards us. The doctor was especially kind and did an excellent job explaining all the possible outcomes for Ellie’s condition. Unfortunately, Ellie deteriorated and we made the decision to put her down. The process of putting her down felt very humane and the doctor and staff were incredibly thoughtful and explained every step of the way. Ellie was comforted by medication, oxygen, and blankets until the very end. I’m so thankful for the people at this hospital that turned this traumatic experience into something bearable. I’ll forever remember their kindness and care for our sweet Ellie May.

Huge thanks to this team for taking good care of our sweet dog Presta after a traumatic incident. One of my biggest fears as a pet owner was having to make end of life decisions (and the possibility of having regrets). I know she received the best care and we made the right decision. Your team walked us through it with so much genuine compassion. I really applaud everyone we interacted with as gifted helping people and pets. Here’s a picture of Presta so you can see her on one of her best days rather than just the last one❤️

I cannot say enough good things about this place and the people who work in it. I was at this center 3 times in about 3 days with my sick, dying chihuahua. The staff were SO compassionate, SO nice, SO flexible, and SO understanding. They truly made this terrible experience the best I think it could have been for me. From the doctors to the techs to the front desk staff, every person was kind and caring to me and my pup and the whole situation down to the last moments I had with my pup. Worth every penny worth everything to be in this facility for this moment and this excruciating experience.
