Tender Care Animal Hospital

We've had 2 animals at this animal hospital. They get you in for emergency cases. And reasonable time for regular appointments. Explained each thing & if there was a payment due. When each of the dogs passed away they were to be sure neither were in pain & passed away with compassion. We received a condolences card for both passing. Thank you for all the kindness and knowledge from each staff member.

I had a great experience at Tender Care! They were able to get me right in & the Veterinarian was very kind and knowledgeable. The hospital manager, Rhonda was also the best!! I would definitely recommend this hospital for your fur babies!!!

I absolutely adore my veterinarian here. Dr. Matt is the best- he is the reason I go here bc he cares so much for my animals. I’ve never came across another vet that shares the same compassion.

We have been bringing our beloved pets to Tender Care Animal Hospital for over 14 years, and we couldn't be happier with the service we've received. The entire team is incredibly attentive and always goes above and beyond to ensure that all of our questions are answered thoroughly. They take exceptional care of our dog, providing not only routine check-ups and treatments but also compassionate support and advice whenever we've needed it. Their dedication and genuine love for animals shine through in every interaction. We wholeheartedly recommend Tender Care Animal Hospital to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring veterinary practice.

I just want to say how grateful I am for the compassion and patience the Tinder Care staff had for me and our family last week when we had to put our beloved family dog Cooper to rest. At other vets they do it on a cold table but here they put you in a “comfort room” with a small couch, blankets, treats, rug, candles, and tissues. They let us spend time with him for as long as we needed and were genuinely empathetic with the situation. We never felt rushed. I was an able to hold and cuddle him for his last breaths and that meant the world to me. My baby boy was my everything. Tinder Care made a difficult choice a better experience. Forever grateful.

The receptionist here are friendly and the atmosphere is clean and inviting. It is still a great place to get a reasonable appointment time for a sick pet. However, since the building has been under new ownership I have come across some issues for my pets. One is the price of everything has gone up from sitting room fees to heart worm prevention. Another is that one vet in particular seems more interested in selling related ad ons than understanding the needs of their clients. When I expressed that I sadly couldn't afford any of the long term medications for cancer, diabetes or kidney disease that the vet wanted to test for and that I would like to discuss end of life care or euthanasia, I was essentially ignored. I scheduled the tests but ended up rushing him in for an emergency euthanasia because he was actively dying and possibly in pain. To their credit they did fit us in and send a heart jerking sympathy card after the fact. The third issue I have is that I acquired a new kitten and scheduled an appointment right away during the week to have him vaccinated they gladly accommodated me but when I arrived who should greet me but the same vet that had overseen my former cat. One of his issues was an upper respiratory infection. She told me to give him a particular immune booster. When I paid, I asked to make the appointment for the rest of the vaccines on a different day. It was then that the receptionist told me that they felt it was of the best interest of kittens to stay with whomever had been first appointed to them through their first year. So I couldn't switch. It would have been helpful to have been told this policy and who would be working through the week when I called and told them I had a new kitten. I stuck with the vet for the next visit. His infection hadn't improved and I explained he wouldn't eat the chews so I was strongly advised to get the powder. His vaccines were finished and I was told I could schedule his neutering at anytime. When I went to the pet store and asked a receptionist at the pet hospital there how to give the powder she said she was surprised his vet hadn't also prescribed medication. An alarm bell sounded, especially after she said it would be weeks before he could be seen there. By the end of the week he was vomiting and had diarrhea. I called the vet at Tender Care and was told that if wasn't better by the end of the weekend it he may need to be hospitalized. I GOOGLED how to care for a kitten with an upper respiratory infection and found clear pedialyte with no artificial sugar could be given and I made an appointment with another vet at A DIFFERENT clinic. The pedialyte stopped the vomiting, firmed the poo and gave him some appetite back. The new vet gave him an antibiotic and anti diarrheal and said that he could take the immune booster daily to help stave off future infections but they were quite common in kittens regardless of their birth circumstances and she recommended not neutering for at least another month or even two since he was only four months old and six was their recommendation and it would help his immune system to strengthen and his attachments to be secure and his stress to be low which were all important for a successful surgical procedure. Seven days later my kitten was recovered and he continues to thrive.
