  Wonderful experience! The staff were phenomenal and went above and beyond for my (unexpectedly) very sick French Bulldog, who needed immediate surgery we weren’t aware of. I am very thankful for all the care you have showed us. She is doing much better and still with us due to your attention to detail and urgency. Forever grateful!

  Early this morning my dog was having what might've been a seizure or a stroke, and I knew he was gone before we even called CAVES but wanted the closure. They got us right in at 5 am and the woman working there was so incredibly friendly and sweet and made the process so much easier. She walked us through everything and gave us that closure that we needed. We got to spend some time with his body and say goodbye before leaving him there to rest. The whole process was very well done, they were upfront with things, we were only charged for the cremation. Last time there was an emergency with my late dog it seemed liked none of the emergency vets would let us come in, so I am beyond grateful they answered our call and got us right in. Losing a beloved pet is never easy, but CAVES made it a bit more bearable. Thank you 🧡

  I haven't used their emergency services, only their orthopedic surgery. my dog had a CCL/ACL rupture, & both her primary vet & the urgent care we'd used for the initial x-rays recommended this place as one of three orthopedic surgery locations that they recommended, & this place was able to give me the earliest date that we could do both a consult & surgery on the same day, which reduced the number of times I had to take my injured dog in & out of a car. my dog is a 55 lb, 13-year-old Staffordshire terrier ("pit bull"), & the entire procedure, including medications to take home, was about $6,200, & the quote that gave me up front pretty much exactly matched the final bill, which was great. the surgery was one week ago, & she's doing well. as far as I can tell, the surgery team did a very good job, all that's left is me following through with the physical therapy properly. her evaluation was at 8:30am, they had her in surgery by 10:30, & I was able to pick her up at 4:30pm the same day.

  I woke up with my cat incredibly sick. I didn't think she was going to make it and was inconsolable. The entire staff treated me with such grace, empathy and respect, they held my baby as gently and with as much care as I did and their number one priority was to make sure she was comfortable and figure out how to help her. Within a couple hours they had figured out what was wrong with her and a treatment plan. I cannot emphasize how much these people are dedicated to making sure our furry babies are healthy. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Thank you caves <3
