    I’d first like to say my reasoning for first coming here was because I had a free visit through my pups adoption agency. Took my 4months old and chi/terrier mix for her first visit to finish up her vaccinations and get her 1year rabies shot and nails trimmed. From first walking in, my first impression was that the lobby was extremely small and quaint. The front reception was just very outdated and everything seemed to be on paper record as there were visible stacks of patient files. Since this was my first adoption and my second owned puppy (lost my fur baby 2yrs ago when she was about 14yo), it’s been awhile since getting up to date with pup shots. Naturally, I had a lot of questions and the office staff looked SO annoyed like I was an inconvenience. So I cut my questions short. When the dr trimmed my pups nails, she was terrified and cuts her nail soooo short, she began dripping blood where he had to apply a yellow hemp agent to stop her bleeding. The dr seemed as equally terrified to trim her nails as much as my pup was (which I was very confused about??) In the pic shown, you can see how short it was cut and how he even misses a nail right after. I noticed it during check out, but didn’t even bother asking to trim it because she was already so traumatized and I really just wanted to get out of there. He also recommended a stool test which I was fine with but in my honest opinion, I felt she didn’t need since she was dewormed before I adopted her. Dr told me that I’d get results right away the next day, so I called for the follow up and was told to wait because they’re busy but it’s been 2 days and still haven’t gotten a call back. I HIGHLY recommend saving your grace and taking your fur baby elsewhere. The environment from the staff felt cold and sterile and overall service was just poor.

    The Dr. personally reached out post op. They accommodated a late appointment, performed surgery, provided a clear recovery plan and followed up consistently. Can't say anything negative about the service we received.

    I made an appointment here a week ago but they had no record of it. They also don’t mention what age the cats need to be to get spayed/neutered. It’s 6 months incase anyone needs to know.
