My cat likes to come in and out. One night he was out in the yard. A big yellow cat came in the yard, the two cats started to fight. The yellow cat bit my cat in 4 places. When I called the next morning, I was able to bring him in that day. The staff was kind and caring of me and my feelings They took graet care of him. I would go back any time.

Dr. Cough was great taking care of my pup. After many months of chronic pain, she recommended a dose of prednisone and a possible diagnosis that actually makes sense for my two year-old Shepherd. I am so glad she brought this up because he’s a different dog at this point on the new medication. I will definitely follow up with the neurologist for a possible spinal tap, but I wanna commend her for thinking outside the box.

Amazing! The staff, Dr. and entire visit was just incredible. They took great care of not only my dog but me also. I was given time to ask questions and didn't feel like I was being rushed through.

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.

We also offer the option of paying in full if you prefer.
