Owner Review Summary

Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say

👍What Pet Owners Praised

Reviewers consistently applaud the compassionate, above-and-beyond care from the veterinarian and staff, noting clear explanations and time taken to answer questions. Many highlight prompt help for urgent issues and accommodating scheduling, with several saying they were seen quickly or even without an appointment. Owners also appreciated capability across species—from dogs and cats to horses and even a hedgehog—plus on-site diagnostics like ECG, and a clean, organized facility with easy trailer access.

💬Common Feedback & Suggestions

A minority of reviewers raised cost concerns, citing high prices, unclear estimates, and prepayment requirements, with a few feeling some tests were unnecessary. Some mentioned front-desk or phone communication issues, and one person reported being turned away when no vet was on site. There are isolated reports of a misdirected treatment plan and unsuccessful outcomes. Another note was that parasite products weren’t sold to non-clients.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners

  • Call ahead to confirm a veterinarian is on site and to secure a same-day slot; they often accommodate urgent cases, but availability can vary.
  • Request a detailed written estimate before procedures and discuss which tests are essential to avoid billing surprises.
  • If you’re not an existing client, be aware they may limit sales of dewormer and flea products—consider establishing a file in advance.
  • For large animals, plan for easy trailer access or inquire about farm-call support for horses.
  • If your pet has heart concerns, ask about ECG availability to speed up diagnostics.
