On NYE our pit was throwing up and had bloody stools. I was recommended by them and other vets to bring her in ASAP. I brought her in at 1:30pm and she wasn’t seen by a vet until 8pm. I was told every time I called to check that it would only be a “couple more hours”. All the tests were done by 11ish at which point they called to talk about a plan of action. They said she was so dehydrated she had to stay over night. The most irritating thing was the lack of communication for the 24+ hours she was there. No one told me she h... read more

I drove one and a half hours to this clinic because my dog was having issues standing up. I sat in the parking lot for five hours with no communication from the staff, I called at hour number four and they said I was next in line to speak with the doctor. One more hour after that I called again and was told there were four animals ahead of me before I would speak to a doctor. So we drove one and a half hours back home and my dog was never seen. If they would have just communicated with me, I would have been fine. Reading thr... read more

They did their job which is to get my animal back to me all fixed up. Their communication was horrible. When you say times that you will communicate and don’t, it stresses the owners out and causes conflict between your facility and care for our animals. Would I return...yes, but depending on the circumstances, would not wait for them to call me with updates.

I brought my 2 year old lab here on at 11pm one night. They were honest about how busy they were and how long it would take to see him. I had to leave him but from the little I saw they handled him extremely well. He has extreme separation anxiety and the staff member that got him from me calmly called him back into the building with her, she didn’t drag him back or force him anywhere. He had an abscess on his throat and were super good about calling me frequently with updates! They got to him exactly when they said they wou... read more

This place is a absolute joke! After waiting over 5 hours in the parking lot because bad communication from staff about my dog’s status you have to keep calling to find out what’s going on and $300 dollars later . Nothing was done on a deep laceration that the vet said my dog needed . This place is a disgrace. Anywhere else is better then this place!
