I have to get my dog shots at two separate times because he's susceptible to getting sick if I do them all the same time. I was there within a month of each other for the shots and was charged two full exams for each visit. They should have gave the rabies at the first visit, because that was his annual exam. But no they chose to do the DHHP on that visit and then to the next time I went back they said an exam is required for a rabies shot and proceeded to charge me a whole other exam fee a month after getting the first set of shots. Definitely will not be back, and I used to refer a lot of people to this vet clinic which I will no longer do either. I was really poor customer service in my eyes

I have been bringing my pets here for at least 10 years. I no longer live nearby but still make the trip in for routine visits and suggested extra care. My small mouth canine had a tooth cleaning (with anesthesia) about a year ago. He came out sparkely! The staff was genuinely concerned for his health and my worry. They gave great follow up. I appreciate weekend appointments. DQ across the street. Give your fur friend a pup cup as a reward.

Everything was fine. We were in for an annual well check for our cat. The reason we did not give you 5 stars is because of the room you put us in. It's an existing space you have repurposed into a room behind your front desk. It was most obviously the room you use when a family needs to say goodbye and have their animal put down. I have had to put family pets down due to cancer before and while it is my responsibility as a pet owner to not let my pets suffer needlessly when that time comes. I have to say I don't like being in a room like that when I am there for an annual exam. Please stop using that room for regular visits.
