My dog’s tail had to be amputated due to negligence on behalf of the staff. My dog should had a simple nail grind, I was told dogs hair was tangled with the grinder and broke the tail bone so no option but to amputate. STAY AWAY!!!!!

The worst experience I've ever had. They gave my dog a medicine that almost killed her. This medicine had been known to cause the issues my dog faced. They still sold it to us anyway.

Very disappointed, I feel very dumb for coming here. They do everything they can to get you to run tests etc that are outside your care plan, and everyone was very vague about pricing, so I was extremely taken aback by the final price. I should have just gotten pet insurance, it would be cheaper in the long run.

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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