The vet and staff were absolutely wonderful! It is a bit pricey, but they worked with me to find a treatment plan in my budget, which was super appreciated! The kindness with my 15 year old kitty was unparalleled.

The team at Small Door Vet has been so helpful to my two kitties. Cael and the front desk team have always been prompt and responsive, and Dr. Dugan and Dr. Roarty and the vet team have always treated my kitties with care. One kitty had a minor procedure and they’ve been so thoughtful with follow up care. Thank you Small Door Vet!

I had an amazing experience. I was a nervous first time kitten owner taking my little baby to the vet. Everyone was so friendly, kind, and explained everything well. I felt so reassured I made the right choice when I saw how each person I interacted with seemed genuine in their care for animals. They had practices that made my cat feel comfortable like treats and allowing the cat to explore the room before the exam. The exam was thorough and efficient.

We had such a wonderful visit with our kitten, Ladybug. From start to finish, the care was thoughtful and gentle, and Ladybug felt safe the whole time. A special shoutout to Kim, our nurse, who was amazing, so patient, sweet, and clearly experienced. She treated Ladybug like her own and made us feel completely at ease. It means the world when your pet is handled with that much love. The clinic is not only spotless but also so beautifully designed, it feels calm, cozy, and intentional, which I really appreciated as a pet parent. Grateful we found this gem. We'll definitely be back!

We love Small Door! We have seen both Dr. Appleby and Dr. Cherness and they are both fantastic. Dr. Appleby performed a pretty difficult cyst removal on my pug and he did a great job. You can tell they truly love what they do and care for your animals like they would their own. The clinic is very clean and the rooms are very nice. I will be a Small Door customer forever!
