The bloodwork she suggested at his senior check made all the difference. He's back to his loud, demanding self. Jordan M. Owner of Miso (cat) > Our rescue pup is scared of everything, and the team took it slow — treats on the floor, no rushing. First vet visit he hasn't shaken through. Renee T. Owner of Biscuit (dog) > Booked a same-day sick visit when our terrier stopped eating. They saw her within the hour and walked us through the X-rays in plain English. We knew exactly what was happening and what came next. Tom & Ada Bell Google review > The dental cleaning quote was clear up front, no surprise add-ons. Our senior lab came home with fresh breath and the same goofy grin. Lena K. Owner of Cooper (dog) > Walked in worried about a limp and left with a real plan, not a guess. They followed up by phone two days later to check on him. Devin R. Yelp review > We've taken three cats here over the years. Same patience every time, and they actually remember our animals. It's the only clinic our skittish one will tolerate. Hannah & Ben Carter Clients since 2019 > Microchipping and the puppy vaccine series were quick and calm. They laid out the whole schedule so I knew exactly what to expect and when. Aisha O. Owner of Pepper (dog) > Honest about what our rabbit did and didn't need. No upselling, just a clear recommendation and a fair bill. Owen F. Owner of Clover (rabbit) > After our old girl passed, Dr. Hart sent a handwritten card. That kind of care is why we'll bring every future pet here.
