I’m an OTR truck driver and my corgi got super sick out of the blue on me. He was nearly lifeless when I got him into the vet. They were skeptical that he would live through the night much less make it back to east Texas. Thanks to them giving him the right antibiotics and treatment the day I was there, he made it back to Texas and was able to have 72 hours of fluids and antibiotics! The vet called me the next night to check on him and I know she was hesitant to ask, but I just want her to know I greatly appreciate her and the staff for saving my little buddy Jack!!!

The receptionist lady’s are very rude and disrespectful. They always let the customer speak and talk over them. I highly not recommend coming to the Salina’s location. Very rude (front desk lady’s)

I cannot recommend this place enough. Everyone here has so much compassion and do everything they can to help. From reception, technicians, and doctors, the love for animals can be felt in every step and the doctors here are unmatched! I also love that they take walk-ins so when something happens in the moment I can rely on them to see my pets in the same day.
