Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the caring, friendly team and vets who handle pets gently, including anxious dogs, seniors, and new patients. Many highlight thorough exams, clear communication, and strong outcomes, with several noting same‑day help in urgent situations and long‑term trust that keeps them coming back—even from out of town. Pricing is often described as fair or great value, and some appreciated not being pushed into unnecessary treatments.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
Reviews are mostly positive, but a few concerns recur. Several people reported difficulty getting in when the clinic was full or not accepting new clients, including some urgent cases, and a couple mentioned unreturned calls or challenges getting quotes without an exam. One reviewer alleged a serious adverse reaction to a prescribed flea medication, and another was upset about delayed post‑op attention; however, these were isolated compared to the overall tone. A small number found costs high like most vets, though many others felt prices were reasonable.
