Very caring. Took the time to explain what was going on with my pet. Prescribed medication and explained how to give it. I am very happy to bring my precious baby to see them.

I would like to leave a review for Kirsten’s tremendous service while I brought my dog in for a recent check up. She was who I dealt with primarily and she was both positive and kind for the entire visit. She offered treats to my dog and made him comfortable throughout the visit.
I believe she deserves a great review and she was incredible.

The receptionist, Faith, was calm and cool facing the onslaught of people and pets attempting to check in, pick up and others just wanting information. Our nurse, Jennifer, did well juggling the files and needs of two dogs' annual visit. The nurse who did the blood pull, Kirsten, was fearless when presented with our less than accommodating younger dog. Dr Salinas was efficient and effective to get both dogs an examination and their routine shots. Dr Salinas also came back to discuss blood abnormalities. Dr Salinas calmed our fears and recommended minor dietary supplements to get them back on track. Great annual check up for the fur babies!

What is 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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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.
