- AAAdrienneNov 16, 20255.0If you need affordable urgent care I would recommend taking your pet here. You only pay for what you need. We came here to treat our cat with asthma paid $200 for steroids. We weren’t forced to get bloodwork or x-rays like other hospitals (because they weren’t necessary).
- CPChristine PeabodyNov 9, 20255.0We adopted a new pooch last weekend and he has been quite ill. He also made our current dog sick. Both dogs were seen in the ER, as breathing was labored. From the minute we got in the door, the staff made both my dogs and I feel cared for. Not sure what next steps were appropriate, I asked the doctor what she would do if it were her dog. She suggested X-rays to rule out pneumonia. They came back clear, which eased my mind. She took all the time needed to reassure me that the symptoms would pass with patience. The doctors here are top-notch and we always choose VCA whenever we have an emergency.
- AMAnn MahnkeNov 9, 20255.0Came in today as first timers with our dog Maggie for an allergic reaction. We were scared and stressed and just looking for a place to help our baby. Our intake was immediate and within 10 minutes we were in a room and being seen. Everyone who interacted with Maggie was smiling and happy, she was taken back to be checked right away, and her care was prompt. I can’t say thank you enough for everything your crew did for us today.
- JBJessica BrownOct 30, 20255.0From the moment we stepped into the lobby we were met with professionalism, compassion, and empathy from every staff member. Dr. LaQuaglia was awesome and kept me informed of my dogs diagnosis and answered all of my questions with patience and care. Even though we didn't get the news we were hoping for with my dogs diagnosis, I appreciated the professionalism and friendliness of the staff during a very difficult time. I will definitely bring my pets to VCA in the future.
- CBCarrie BarryOct 22, 20255.0Dr Fitz helped me 13 years ago with my pup who had cancer- he was compassionate and honest with possible outcomes. I had visited many vets for opinions. To this day I talk about his care. Fast forward to today and I brought my senior pup in and he remembered me from all those years ago. I live about an hour away so it’s a challenge to get down to his office. After all these years he remembered me and took again excellent care of Senba and I. I’m so grateful for people like him who exist in the world.
