Read What Our Clients Say

  • "Exceptional quality care, lovely people who really do truly love animals, well priced, very knowledgeable, and always willing to accommodate if you have an emergency that needs prompt attention. I take all of my dogs and foster dogs there for care and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. An excellent local business who also do wonderful work with local rescues to ensure that all animals get the vet care they need."
    Sarah Little
  • "Our dog got sick two weeks ago, and we had to put her down today. I am amazed and grateful for the way that Dr. Black saw us through this. She must have known from the beginning that this is how it would end, but that didn't stop her from trying everything possible to help our girl. She also guided us gently to this point and helped us have the confidence to do what was right for our pup. The fact that Dr. Black hasn't become hardened to the sadness she sees made her all the more effective and supportive for us. She is one of a kind, and we are beyond grateful."
    Braden Bowers Henry
  • "Thank you all so much for the care and support you showed my dog when I took her to see you guys for her vet visits. I just got a card in the mail from you offering your sympathy after she passed, and my heart is truly touched. Wonderful people."
