  • "Amazing staff. We are from out of town and my service dog got bit by a snake. It was non-venomous but still we were concerned about it being so close to her eye. We rushed her in and they calmed my fears and checked her out thoroughly and did a wonderful job. Thank you guys so very much."
    Dawn C.
  • "Today was the first time I have ever been here but I will definitely be taking my pets back. everyone is very nice and very informative and great with your pets and you can't beat the prices."
    Rachel M Charpia G.
  • "Wonderful staff and Dr. Lawson truly cares. He has a twinkle in his eye when he talks to my dog. Thumbs up all the way around!"
    Bev Rogers W.
  • "Aside from having some pup parents invading my nervous pups space with their pups, we had a great experience.(nothing more than excited pups wanting to say hello, and mom letting them get too close, and my pup was just a little too nervous to make fur friends) It's not our first visit, and won't be our last. Honest, knowledgable, and amazing staff."
