👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently highlighted a compassionate, friendly team and a calm, professional approach that puts pets and people at ease.

One reviewer found posted Saturday hours inaccurate during an emergency, and another noted you may not be able to buy pet food unless you are an active client.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- Ask for a detailed estimate up front and discuss alternatives, as several reviewers found costs high or felt steered toward expensive diets.
- For urgent visits, call ahead to confirm current hours and availability; one reviewer reported posted hours didn’t match actual Saturday opening.
- If you have an exotic pet (e.g., birds or ferrets), mention this when booking—the team is experienced with exotics.
- Let staff know if your pet is anxious; multiple owners said their cats were handled gently and stayed calm during exams.
- If you plan to seek second opinions or purchase prescription diets without being a current client, clarify the clinic’s policies in advance.
