Bailey gets the shedding wash. I love that she comes home so free from shedding. The groomer must have some magic for that. She's an English cream retriever. At 2 years old she has so much patience w us at home. Hit a little nervous to get groomed. I wish I could do it more often but we do our best at home. She smelled great and looked so pretty.

I can’t say enough great things about our experience, from the moment we walked in, the team treated her with so much patience and kindness.
They took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and didn’t rush us at all. Ivy had been dealing with allergies and they quickly diagnosed the problem and we started new ways to treat it.
You can tell the whole team genuinely cares about animals. The clinic is clean, well-run, and it never feels like you're just another appointment on the calendar.

What is an Optimum Wellness Plan?
Optimum Wellness Plans are designed to provide annual preventive care. They include head-to-tail exams, vaccines, early screening diagnostics, consultations for proper nutrition, dental care and more! Since wellness plans are not insurance, they do not include treatment for unpredictable or abnormal conditions, however discounts would apply. Because pets need ongoing preventive care, wellness plans automatically renew at the end of each twelve month period (unless paid in full at enrollment).
How do I pay for an Optimum Wellness Plan?
You can spread the cost of your wellness plan across the 12 months of your annual agreement to make it easier to budget for the essential health care your pet needs. Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll. We also offer the option of paying in full if you prefer.
What kind of appointment do I have?
In-room appointments: You and your pet visit the vet together. Please arrive a few minutes before your appointment time
Drop-off appointments: If you have a drop-off appointment, we will communicate a time to drop off your pet. Keep your phone nearby and we’ll call you when your pet is ready for pickup.
